Cecil Andrew Lyon, chairman of the Texas Republican Committee, feels that the department erred with its recent post office appointment at Denison as it dealt the party a very severe blow in the state. Pressing business will keep Lyon from being in Washington, D.C., until the 12th or 15th of June. He asks that if any Texas appointments are to be considered contrary to his recommendations, these appointments be deferred until he has the opportunity to voice his concerns and opinions.
