Atlantan Is Credited With Land
ing Gainesville Postmastership
for Mrs. H. W. J. Ham.
Tlie nomination of Mrs. H. VV.
Ham to be postmaster at Gainesville
am] the consequent turning down of
Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet and Editor
A. S. Hardy have aroused the most
intense Interest in Georgia, and is be
ing widely discussed to-day.
The popular impression was that 1
Mrs. Longstreet likely would succeed I
herself, and if she did not, the plum
would go tc Mr. Hardy, who had the
indorsement of Congressman Bell of
the Gainesville district.
Mrs. Ham's name never had been !
mentioned publicly in connection with |
the Gainetfviile post office, and her
nomination was a complete surprise j
The biggest surprise of all in this
presidential act, however, was the re
port given out from the Postoffice
Department to the effect that Mrs.
Longstreet’s administration of the j
Gainesville postoffice had been found
unsatisfactory and inefficient.
Report Called an Excuse.
Her friends already are saying
there is no sincerity in that report,
hut that it was made merely to con
form with previous announcements
from the White House to the effect
that postmasters would not be To
rn eved in any event, save where
charges of inefficiency were made and
sustained.
Primary responsibility for the
Presidential rejection of both Mrs.
Longstreet and Mr. Hardy is laid
at the door of E. T. Brown, of At
lanta, who bitterly opposed Mr.
Hardy and more or less passively
opposed Mrs. Longstreet. Mr. Brown
is a cousin of Mrs. Wilson and a
frequent visitor at the White House.
He is reported to be closer to the
President than any other Georgian.
Hts opposition to Mr. Hardy is
based on partisan grounds, arising
out of Mr. Hardy’s support of Mr.
Underwood in the Georgia primary,
and his opposition to Mrs. Long-
street upon the milder partisan
grounds ■ that she was a Roosevelt
appointee and presumably more of
a Republican than Democrat.
Senator Smith Hesitates.
The nomination of Mrs. Ham was
announced Wednesday afternoon,
notwithstanding the fact that
Uongressman Bell had an engage
ment with the President to-day to
lalk the Gainesville situation over.
Mr. Bell conferred, more or less in
dignantly. so it is reported, with
Senator Hoke Smith last night, as
to the unexpected nomination of
Mrs. Ham. The Senator expressed
great surprise that the matter had
developed along the line indicated,
but said he would hesitate to oppose
the nomination when it came up .for
confirmation.
The fiat rejection of Uongressman
Bell’s recommendation for the post-
inastership in his home town has
caused a tremendous flutter in Con
gressional circles, and has aroused
great interest in Georgia. For time
immemorial, it has been customary
for Congressmen to name, without
dispute, their home postmasters. If
the President is going to disregard
this custom, what influence will a
Congressman have on any appoint
ments within his district? That is
the big question Representatives are
asking themselves to-day, and which
thousands of Georgians are pausing
to hear answered.
Many are taking the rejection of
Hardy to mean that President Wil
son Is determined not to appoint to
office in Georgia any one who op
posed him In the Presidential pri
mary, and that if Congressman Bell
had named a pro-Wilson man his
recommendation might have been fol
lowed.
Made a Gallant Fight.
Mrs. Longstreet has made a gallant
fight to retain her position. The
Postoffice Department, the White
House and the Capitol have been
flooded with letters and telegrams in
her favor. It was thought that yhe
might lose the office through politics,
but it never was suspected in Georgia
that inefficiency would he charged
against her.
Congressman Bell will make an ef
fort to change the presidential mind
in respect of the Gainesville postoffice,
but the impression is that he will fail
to move the White House occupant.
Mrs. Ham is the widow' of the late
H. W. J. Ham, fqr years prominent
in Georgia politics, and is a popular
and estimable woman.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
TOKIO, May 8.—The Yorozu Ghohe
publishes an appeal to the Christian
Japanese and the Christians of Amer
ica. in which it says:
"It may be a small thing to disin
herit the Japanese in California, y M
It is of importance in that It causes
a friendly nation to distrust America.
The land law may succeed in erad
icating the so-called evils of Oriental
immigration, yet it contains germ of
greater troubles. Better put legality
aove profit and love above legality.
Such legality and such legislation are
an offense against the law of love - ,
wherefore the Japanese are rather
more sorrowful thun Indignant.”

"Billy” Hitt, with true nobility of
character, has joined in the search

ing made that if the dog is found it
will suffer a change of name to
