The congressman made his first appeal to First Assistant Postmaster Post-master General O'Mahoncy of Wyoming, Wyo-ming, one of the keen political minds i)t the administration. Robinson Rob-inson told him, in effect, that if Governor Gov-ernor Blood and the Utah delegation delega-tion are ail turned down, or if the public works administration, continues con-tinues to ignore tham, making monkeys out of them in the eyes of the people of the state of Utah, the voters of the state will at the next election take pleasure in voting vot-ing the Democratic incumbents out of office and elect Republicans to replace them in the senate and house. O'Mahoncy saw the point and called lekes and later his deputy Waite. As a result the committee was named to sift out the most urgent items from the Utah public works program to consist of Turner Tur-ner W. Battle, assistant to the secretary sec-retary of labor; Oscar L. Chapman of Colorado, assistant secretary of the interior: Lawrence W. Robert, Jr., assistant secretary of the treasury, treas-ury, in charge of public buildings and Major Carey Brown of the army engineers. |
