DEMOCRATS TO EXPOSE C O . P. POST OFFICE GRIP

(By United Prfese) JKashlhgton, tJuhe 11.—(By L. C.

BJartin)r---Democratic leaders in the s^natj^ are getting ready for a grand expose, ofvyhat they assert is the -Re-publican plan to perpetrate the par­ties grip on the government by band­ing up a political machine whose cogs will'be'i thai of thousands of post­masters.

The- Democrats first scented the Republican plan they claim when President .Harding's recent order re­garding the filling of postoffice va-. cancies was issued. In that order there arbitrarily was an attempt to set aside civil service law long enough to regard the republicans ousting a lot of Democratic postmasters and fill their places with Republicans-Now "the Democrats have discovered they assert that .the Republicans plan to give postmasters life jobs and re­move them from the.control-of;the senate's approval when they are nom­inated. The Republican scheme is to be carried1 out, the Democrats assert, through the Townsend bill/ which is introduced in the senate. This bill empowers the postmaster general at direction of the president, and re­vises existing classification of postal employees so as to be . first, second and third postmaster under the civil service law.
