Arcadians Scrap Over Postoffice *►" t— How to Settle Question of Arcadia Postmastership is Causing Anxious Moments One of the misfortunes attending, the transfer of the'government to j democratic hands is that there must j : be a change in many postmasters, j Some of these changes, nodoubt, will1 be for the better, but many of them t will be at the expense of the public ■ weilfare. j A case of the latter kind is the ! change to be made at Arcadia. The j present postmaster, D. C. Thompson, I is acknowledged by all to be an excep : tionally good officer. He has put the | office into tine shape and has kept i | it in such a manner that everyone is j pleased with his services. Arcadians would generally be glad j | to have him keep it. But this cannot: be, because a new political adminis-i | tration is in charge. From the moment of Wilson’s elec- j tion things have been poppin’ in Ar cadia over the question of who should be the new Nascby. Joe Bridges was the first to sacri fice himself for the cause and set out to get the indorsement of the ring leaders of the party over the county and elsewhere all but at Arcadia. He ! got the endorsement, it is said, of Billy Thompson at Grand Island, and of H. M. Davis and Otto Murschel of Ord, wlio are a re essaying to be the pie dispensers of this vicinity. Bridges also got the endorsement of all the democratic central committeemen ex cept those of his own town. In fact, Ills indorsements at home are very scarce indeed. i It is claimed that his indorsement from Thompson was with the under standing that an election would be held at which all the patrons of the Arcadia postottice might vote, but of course the candidates must be demo crats only. This was thought to be safe enough, and all was going well till the name of Frank Rowe of Lee Park was sprung. This put another face to things. Frank Uowe is very popular with the people of that vi cinity and was promptly Indorsed bj the local democratic committeemen and others generally in that vicinity. The election idea now does not look as good for Bridges and his backers. Witli a more popular man in the race it is safe to gamble that Bridges will not get the position. From good authority that comes to us from Arcadia we learn that the bosses now are hedging and want no one to vote but democrats and if possible to have no election at all. Meanwhile the postottice is being run in a manner pleasing to all. the only unpleasant feature about it being the unseemly scramble among Urn un washed as to who shall have the job of turning a very important public office into a private snap.—Ord Quiz.
