POSTMASTER BRADFUTE RESIGNS Partisan Republican Editor Asks Nothing of Democrats Quits before Removal of New Post Office It is announced that Postmaster Bradfute's resignation was sent to Washington several days ago to take effect at the pleasure of the department and with the request that it be acted upon before the time to move into the Federal building. The reason given is that the post office requires more attention than he desires to take from his private business, and that the new postmaster should reorganize and make such changes as he desires and will be required in entering the new quarters. In a personal statement today Mr. Bradfute says that he asks to be relieved for the two-fold reason that he has plenty of other business and, if he does not now resign, that he will very likely soon be invited to do so "by request" in that it is already evident that there is to be a cleaning of offensive partisans up and down the line and certainly none has, or expects to be, more partisan than he, a Republican editor, never supported or voted any other ticket, does not believe in Democracy or its principles generally, and has no apologies to offer or any favors to ask from the party. "Under a Republican administration I have received two appointments by unanimous consent and served for six years," Mr. Bradfute stated, "and in all that time the record of the office has been so satisfactory that not one letter of criticism has been received from the department. "Oscar Cravens, the editor of The World, has already been recommended and will no doubt at once be appointed. In turning the office over to him, it goes to a personal friend who is the choice of the Democracy and is in every way qualified to keep it up to its present standard.
