At a special session of the United
States senate Saturday night the ap-
pointment of Judge W. S. Cade as
postmaster at Shawnee was confirmed
President Roosevelt made the ap-
pointment Saturday afternoon and
it was rushed to the senate where
it received immediate attention. The
present incumbent, Geo. E. McKinnis.
will probably leave the office some-
time next week when Judge W. S.
Cade will take charge of the Shaw-
nee post office. It is thought that
the bond required will be in the neigh-
borhood of $50,000 for the local office
has grown wonderfully since the
previous bond required of $25,006.
In an Interview with a News re-
porter Judge Cade stated, "When I
assume the duties of postmaster of
the City of Shawnee I propose to give
it my undivided attention, and to give
the people the best service possible.
During the administration of Mr. Mc-
Kinnis the entire city free delivery
and the county rural delivery routes
have been added, and as a result of
the labor of Mr. McKinnis, Shawnee
has one of the best equipped post
offices In the United States and an
excellent mall service. When seen
by a News reporter Mr. McKinnis
stated that he absolutely abided by
the will of the appointing power, and
that he believed that a man who has
done his duty couldn't finally and
wholly fall. He is richly assured of
this fact by the hearty support that
he has received from the patrons of
the postofflce; and it is his wish that
the entire citizenship of Shawnee will
give their undivided support to the
new postmaster, Judge Cade, in order first class style, and Shawnee will

any way in his power and it would
only give him pleasure to do so.
The contest for the postmastership
of Shawnee was held up for a long
time because of the excellent merits of
both applicants for the position. The
democratic press made the most capi-
tal out of the long delay and would
have It that the republican party was
split in factions. The truth is that
the republican party in the city, coun-
ty and state was never so united as
at present. The republicans are

TEACHERS WILL ORGANIZE.
To Form Union Along Lines of Labor
Organizations.
Chickasha, I. T., March 4.—It is
probable that the teachers ot the new
state will be organized along the same
lines as the organizations of union la-
bor.
Supt. Staley before the Grady
County Teachers Association at Min-
co Saturday night declared that there
no reasons why a union could not be
perfected that would aid the members
In commanding better salaries and
would insure the public better serv-
ices from the teachers.
The members seemed to be favor-
ably impressed with the Idea, and at
the Rock iBland Teachers Association
meeting which will be held at Duncan
next Friday and Saturday something
of a definite nature along this line Is
likely to be accomplished.
