President Roosevelt’s decision to extend the term of Horace I. Pinkham as postmaster in Haverhill, Massachusetts, against the recommendation of Representative Augustus Peabody Gardner, who wanted Charles M. Hoyt appointed, is likely to set a precedent in the state. Pinkham’s appointment was insisted upon by Attorney General William H. Moody, who is of Haverhill, and Roosevelt decided a member of the president’s cabinet should have the right to determine the postmaster of their city.
