Charles J. Bonaparte writes about possible nominees for postmaster in Baltimore. William F. Stone, Representative Wachter, and Senator McComas continue to disagree about the leading candidate. Factions within the Republican Party in the state are arguing. Bonaparte believes some public officials and some newspapers have been discredited in recent years for failing to speak out against elections fraud and political corruption. There is also disagreement within the National Civil Service Reform League. Some members wished to make an anti-imperialist statement by not arranging a visit to the White House during an upcoming meeting.
