POSTMASTER FOR PAYETTE

SPLENDID APPOINTMENT MADE BY THE PRESIDENT.

Old Postmaster’s Resignation Sent in Several Weeks Ago—Effort Made to Secure 
the Place for Another—Matter Taken Up by Mr. French.

Everybody in this section of the state will be glad to hear that Burt Venable, 
editor of the Payette Independent, has been named for postmaster of that 
place.  Mr. Venable deserves such recognition and his is splendidly qualified 
to discharge the duties of the position.  He is one with whom it will be a 
pleasure for the public to do business.

It seems that George P. Johnson, the outgoing postmaster, sent in his 
resignation about the first of the year.  He informed A. B. Moss and the latter 
set about to secure the appointment of Clifford L. Dagg.  Mr. Moss took the 
matter up with Judge Standrod, national committeeman, and made such 
representations to him that the judge sent in a recommendation for the 
appointment of Mr. Dagg.  This was all done so secretly that the public did not 
know the postmaster had resigned until Chairman D. D. Campbell of the 
Republican county committee was notified by Representative Burton L. French 
that the matter of the resignation of Johnson and recommendation of Dagg had 
been referred to him.  The effect of this letter from the congressman was to 
start the party forces of the county to work for Mr. Venable, with the result 
that the latter has been appointed.
