Political Plum Goes To T. R.
Biles After Prolonged
Controversy
After controversy that has lasted for months, and engendered plenty of factional strife, the appointment of Taylor R. Biles as postmaster at Rising Sun has been sent to the United States Senate for confirmation.
Mr. Biles is a member of the firm of Biles & Cameron, conducting a general warehouse business in this town.
Some weeks ago the State Central Committee of Cecil County recommended Lawson C. Tosh, of this town, for the appointment of postmaster here, since which time much water has passed under the bridge, and the great American game of political wire-pulling has been played to the limit, with the result that the political barometer indicates stormy weather in this neck o' woods along about election time this fall.
