Democrats to Get Postoffice Jobs
The Washington bureau reports that many Democratic postmasters may be replaced at term end if James A. Farley has his way. Farley, postmaster general and DNC chairman, favors new appointments in cities where longtime Democratic appointees hold office, while all postmasters may keep jobs until term ends unless removed for cause. Some Republican postmasters may escape the shift, mirroring earlier partisan changes.
