Some weeks ago The Sentinel an-
nounced that the next postmaster of
Norwalk would probably be Michael J.
Howard, as it was understood that Con-‘
grossman Donovan was favorable to
his candidacy, and it is through the
congressman's recommendation that
such appointments are made. in our
dispatches, yesterday, the prediction
has confirmed. as the announcement
was made that President Wilson . had
sent Mr. Howard's name to the Senate
for confirmation. It now remains for
a few details to be arranged and early
‘ in the year Mr. Howard will take 01-
' dice. ‘
The fight over the Norwalk post-E
mastership has been productive of bio
ter‘~feeling among the Democrats of
the First district and it ifdofilitrui
authether some of the wrinkles can be
honed out. Mr. Howard's candidacy
evidently got. a good start before
friends of other candidates realized
-that they ought to be up and doing if
their men were to have a look in. The
older party leaders were backing How-
ard when there loomed up James J.
Keene. endorsed by the Jefferson Club.
This organization was theme of the
Democratic end of the last campaign.
it furnished all the noise, saved, the
Democratic rally in the Second Word
Jrom being a frost, and when election
day rolled around the youngsters put
it over the Republicans in the First
Ward and really distinguished them-
selves by giving Congressman Dono-
van a majority in that district. This
activity was caused largely through
what the Jeffersonians considered an
agreement on the part of the congress-
man that if'they made good as to re-
turns. that Keena would be given the
plum. This promise is said to have I.
been made in the Hotel Stratiield.
Bridgeport, when Mr. Keena had ac-
companied the congressman to the
Park City on one of his campaigning
tours. The Jeffersonians are freely as-
serting that Mr. Donovan has not kept
faith with them. They say that he
could not have received the delegates
from Norwalk had it not been through
their efforts. He kept friends of Mr.
Keene busy gathering such infome-
tion as would remove any doubt as to
the applicant's capabilities, and the
committee made frequent pilgrimages
to South Norwalk with desired data.
The Jeffersonians now say that they
never had a chance and have been
made monkeys of. ,
While they point to many instances
when Congressman Donovan has
shown his ingratitude, they are just
as emphatic in their opposition to any
future political aspirations he may}
have.

The addresses by the suffrage speak?
ers were highly interesting and in-
structive. Miss Sanders dwelo chiefly
on the results that have been accom-
plished in states where women vote.
Miss Sanders is from Illinois and has
traveled extensively throughout the
country in the interest of the cause.
and her observations have been taken
from existing conditions. She declar-
ed that cleaner politics lathe result
in those states where the weaker sex
votes.
Miss Gregory spoke concerning the

for the cause and predicted that it is

enthusiastic applause which lasted for
