Here is the interview as published in the News and Observer: What is considered here a. nothing less than r. flagrant violation ui co. mon justice and deecnc ha.s been committed by the postoffice depait ment in ousting Postmaster W. M. Hanner at Liberty and appointing temporarily as his successor Otio Browei. The department did not dare to send Brewer's name to the senate for it knew that his nomina tion would be rejected, precipitating on its head a scandal. Brower es caped military service in the world war on the ground that he had tu berculosis. He is, of course, still suffering with this disease, and yet he is entrusted with the handling and distribution of tho nublic mail. But far worse than 3rover's phy sical unfitness to be postmaster is the moral feature of his appointment. In order to get rid of Mr. Hanner the department, Senator Simmons and Representative W. C. Hammer de clare, based its action upon a num ber of charges wholly without foun dation and trumped up against Mi. Hanner bv his political enemies on 1 9 cigarettes 'Virifi - ; I if' 1 I t(8t '1 TEAPOT DOUE OIL r' . DEAL BECOlffliG A W NATIONAL SCANDAL' (Special ' Correspondeoce.) u wasrungton.
