'-'7--' Washington D.; C, June 10. It is pretty ;- well -understood, her that Sena tor Simmons will oppose the confirma tion of G. H. Russell for postmaster at. Laurinburg, should the President Send his name to. the, Senate. .. Russell was recommended for the Laurinburg job several weeks ago by Congress man Page, but up:to the present time his name has not been " sent" to- the Senate ;. Indeed, it is hinted that Post master General Burleson has not yet sent Russell's, name to the president. The opposition -to Russell, it is said, is because 'of some misunderstanding about Russell managing the Simmons campaign in Scotland county during the Senatorial fight. ,. Rusell, the Sim mons men thought, was their manag er, but it developed that he did noth ing more for the senior Senator than cast his ' vote on November 5th. ; Dur ing the trying times of the campaign the Simmons people say, choice litera ture from' "the. Simmons headquarters Was sent to Russell, indeed it is said, many confidential letters were mailed to the Laurinburg man. They further charge that Russell' made a trip of some 0 miles to hear Claude- Kitchih speak against Simniohs and on anoth er occasion traveled ' 30 miles to hear Judge Walter - Clark deliver an . ora tion against the senior Senator. ' ' Russell admits that he went to hear both Kitchin- and Clark Bpeak. He says he was Interested in all the can didates and naturally wanted to hear what they had to say. Russell s friends point to the splendid record of the Scotland county superintendent-of schools and recall-the days when the Populists had things-going, their way in the -State and how Russell, then a small farmer, took the , stump and car ried the county for Democracy.
