Assistant Secretary to the President Benjamin F. Barnes has asked that papers be sent to President Roosevelt regarding the case of a postmaster in Georgia. C. I. Robinson was recommended for reappointment when his commission expired, but a competitor, James R. Webster, was also nominated. Webster, however, was said to have cheated on his wife and to be an alcoholic, so Robinson was reappointed.
