League of Women Voters Oppose McKellar Bill The Illinois League of Wom} Voters is giving its attention to concerting public opposition to the passage of the McKellar bill, which would put postmasterships by law under the patronage of Congress. Miss Margaret Wells, who is Naâ€" tiomal President of the League, made public a statement urging the substitution of the "Ramspeck" bill, which was favored in a miâ€" nority report signed by Senators O‘Mahoney, LaFollette and Logan. She says in a recent release to all the State Leagues: "Senator O‘Mahoney and the two other senators who followed® his lead in recommending that the Ramspeck postmasters bill be subâ€" stituted for the McKellar bill deâ€" signed to insure postmastership patâ€" ronage to the Congress have paved the way for a showdown on the patronage system. The record of the Senate of the past few years on the subject of patronage indiâ€" cates that the committee vote of 9â€"4 in favor of reporting the Mcâ€" Kellar bill is in proportion to patâ€" ronage sentiment in that body. Senâ€" ator Bridges of New Hampshire and the three Senators signing the minority report were the only ones voting against the bill in commitâ€" "The issue between patronage and the merit system will be clearly drawn when the Senate is faced with the choice between the Ramsâ€" peck bill, placing postmasterships under the Civil Service and the McKellar bill, insuring their apâ€" pointment under the patronage system." "‘The record of the Senate indiâ€" cates that it has been unsympaâ€" thetic to the merit system, in spite of the platform pledges of both parties." ~ All members of the League of Women Voters will be urged to write to their Congressmen and Senators. a Close Christmas Eve The Highland Park Public Liâ€" brary will close Christmas eve at 6 p.m. and will be closed all day Christmas day. of the League of will be urged to Congressmen and THE PRESS Phone Highland Park 2700 Floyd (Tiny) Peterson, superinâ€" tendent of the Highwood Water deâ€" partment is confined to his home with scarlet fever.
