SPEER FOR PARCELS POST
Local Congress-man Favors Innovation
So Much Desired by the People of Entire Country.
The possibility ol the enaotment al
paroele pott legislation by Congress at the
present session Is a sonroe ol mnoh satisfaction to the people of this seotion as well as
to tbose of other parts of the oonntry.
Farmers espeoially desire its establishment
and tbere bas been mnoh speculation among
tbem as to the probable attitude of members of Congress on tbe snbjeot. Oar own
Representative, Hon. Peter M. Speer, of
Oil City, is heartily ia favor at a general
paroels post as the following letter, written
in reply to a query, will show :
"Washington, D. C, Marob 19, 1912.
"Editor Dispatch and Republican:
"Dear Sir:—I bave yonr favor of reoent
date inquiring as to my attitude ia referenoe to paroels post legislation aad I have
no besitanoy in stating that I am ia favor
stf a liberal general paroels post Mil and
will aid so far as I am able in the adoption
of snoh a measure.
"I bave not waited for tbis to be taken
up as a party polioy, but during tbe oampaign resulting in my eleotion I spoke in
favor of "paroels post," believing it to be
real progressive legislation, benefioial to
people generally and espeoially so to the
farming element and others living upon
rural routes. It is simply a broadening of
our postal servioe, made neoessary by the
world's progress in oivilization.
"Sinoe ooming to Congress I have given
the matter considerable stud; and espeoially
as I find there is some opposition from
merohants wbo fear it will injare their
business. I am satisfied it will aot have
tbis evil result, whiob I weald deplore as
muoh as any one, but believe tbat on
aooount of the modern nse of telephones it
will inorease the bnsiness of looal'
merchant! and greatly convenience and
benefit every one.
"Hoping tbese views may meet with tbe
general approval of my constituents, I am,
"Very trnly yours,
