Of the appointment The Remington Press says: “The various aspirants to' the honor are conducting themselves in a seemly manner so far and no badges of mourning as yet appeared though there is no doubt some -sore spots left to tell the tale of the coming in contact with district Chairman Murphy’s present. That O’Riley will make an accomodating official and in every way fitted for the position there is no manner of doubt. It is not probable however, that he will put on “bargain sale” on stamps and money orders just yet. Here’s to wishing him the best success.”
