WASHINGTON Jan. 3. Tho
postofflco dopartmont today an-
nounced that tho commission ot thn
present Tulsa postmaster will ex-
pire Fehruury 4. Tho department
within 11 fnW days will ask thn civil
service commission to hold an ex-
amination to fill tho vacancy .
Thn ract that It In only a month
until thn vacancy occurs and no ex-
amination has yet been called In u
departure from tho recent policy of
tho postofflco department to call
tho examinations In plenty ot 1 1 mo
to take tho successive steps neces
sary for tho qualification of a ixvit-
master ami navo mm reauy 10 inso
offlco Just ns soon as tho commis-
sion of ths democratic Incumbent
expires.
Fight Relayed .Matters.
It Is posnlbln that thn certifica-
tion of the Tulsa vacancy has been
held up until tho bitter fight be-
tween tho faction wanting Chair-
man Lingo ifi thn republican coun-
ty organization and thoso wlBlilrn
Walter Ileneau subsided
Tho fight between Rencau and I.I.'i-
go may havo heenmo so warm thnt
It was necessary to choose n com-
promlsn candidate. At any rato
Congressman Chandler -put forward
Omnr 1C iiencfllct.
After tho postotfloo department
certifies tho Tulsa vacancy to thn
civil servlco commission tho next
stop will ho tho setting of a dnto
for tho exnmlnntlom Thn "exami-
nation" really means that It Is thu
Inst day In which papers may bo
filed either at tho Tulsa postofflco
or at tho civil service commission
hero ns tho candldntra nre not re-
quired to report for nn examination.
Candidates fnr flnst-class nostnf-
flees aro rated on two subjects. Thu
first of these education und train-
ing counts :o "weights" nnd busi-
ness experience nnd fitness counts
SO "weights" Tho panning grado
Is 70
.May tin 10 Candidates.
Desnlte tho luct' that Uenrdlct
doubtless has tho Insldo track nt
this time there Is nothing so suco
about his appointment to prevent
others from taking tho examination.
If there nro not at least ten candi-
dates wl) takn the examination for
thn Tulsa postofflco a new record
will bo established
Olindldatrrt for thn Tulsa postof-
flco to qualify must show that for ut
iesst flvo years he or sho has been
engaged In occupations In which tie
or sb6 had demonstrated ability to
organize tn direct and to tnanago
business affairs to the extent re-
quired of n postmaster of tho Tulsa
postofflco It must also appear In
nil cases that thn candidates have
demonstrated their ability to meet
nn 1 leal with Iho public satbfkn-
torlly. Statements as to edtjcatlcn
training und experience aro subject
to verification. To ho ellglblo for
examination 11 candidate must bo a
citizen of tho United States must bn
In good physical condition must
actually rrsldo within tho dollvfry
fif the Tulsa postofflce and must
lavu been such 11 resident for nt
least two years next preceding the
dn'n of the examination Candi-
dates must bo 30 years old nnd thoso
who havo reached their 6 1st birth-
day are not eligible to examination.
Will Iki Cliecldtl Up.
Aftrr th candidates havo eubmltt
tod tholr papers to tho civil servlm
commission hero Investigators will
bo sent to Tulsa to make personal
inquiry as to thu candidates. After
thoso oxamlniitlonn have been com-
pleted tho papers will ba graded
nnd the civil rervlco commission will
submit tho nanles of tho threo mak-
ing thn highest grades to tho post-
nfflco department. From this list
of three tho department may select
any orm nnd this ono will bo recom-
mended to President Harding
The president then will submit
tho name to tho scnato for confl--inatlon.
All these slops are expect-
ed to tako two months nnd It prob-
ably will bo the middle of March
beforo a postmaster ran qualify for
Tulsa. Senator llarreld would havo
a final veto power upon any candi-
date named whon tho numo came to
the nenntu for confirmation but It
l not bolleved llarreld would ob-
ject to any cmdldato who suited tno
