| Show S H U I 1 al WILL BE A iq E BUT 80 FAR HIS nomination IS 18 NOT BEFORE THE SENATE official communication may be considered when congress moots meets again after the holidays this paper Is in receipt of telephone requests from the various friends ot of the numerous applicants for the post office as to the facts concerning tho the appointment of L W shurtliff lff A few days ago this paper announced that congressman joseph howell had requested the president to appoint L W shurtliff lff beyond that nothing has boon been done in the matter the associated press has one of its general offices with twenty or more reporters in washington in fact one reporter does nothing other than report all nominations sent to the senate by tho the president this paper wired the iho washington office stating that different papers announced the nomination of L W shurtliff as postmaster of ogden and the answer was as follows official records of the secretary of the senate fall to show the name of L W shurtliff lff for fop any office the res ignation of william glasmann received at postoffice Post office department congressman howell however has recommended to the president the appointment of shurtliff lff and the senators made no objection jec tion the president undoubtedly will appoint shurtliff lff in a day or two as glasmann requests that he be relieved december this is all the record here from this it will bo be seen that all announcements that the president had sent the name to the senate are a little pro premature mature though the president pay may have sent the name to the senate after the senate had adjourned for tho the holidays thero la Is a good deal of favorable as well as unfavorable comment on the selection of sir mr shurtliff lff there la Is no doubt that hegli ho will be nominated by tho president as tho the foregoing dispatch announces that neither senator objected to tho the appointment that being the case the appointment Is as good as made I 1 judge shurtliff lff has been a republican ever since second election and that he was a republican was waa known b bv y everybody who had anat anything hing to do with politics in weber county I 1 and the story of alleged republicans saying that they did not know th the judge was a republican Is but tho the whine of a disgruntled individual who thinks ho be should have the office tho the ogden pos posto ulce has been in tho the hands of non mormons cormons for forty years while tho the republicans have controlled I 1 affairs in this nation and for the first time in the history of ogden the republican party will place a mormon in charge of the post it la Is indeed in bad baal taste for non cormons mormons under those conditions to object to a mormon holding the office one term in the forty years of republican rule |
