WHITAKER NAMED LOCAL POSTMASTER By a vote of 13 to 4, the Republican County Central Committee today endorsed Harry Whitaker as postmaster to succeed J. F. Ahlborn, democrat. The three local members of the committee, David Jessurun, Earl Dutton and Judge J. S. Howard had recommended Vic LaMont. They and one other member voted for LaMont. "Steam roller", shouted a local member, after the vote had been announced. Previous to the vote another member had said that he hoped the committee would follow the time honored precedent of voting for the candidate backed by the members residing where the office was to be filled. He said he himself certainly would do so. After the vote the same member declared that thereafter he would not consider himself bound by any successor. Whitaker is a good man, as are LaMont and Frank Tauch. The office was promised to Whitaker two years or more ago by Congressman Phil L. Swing, who now is expected to nominate him. Whatever feeling exists is directed not against him, but against the alleged detention by Santa Ana of a position to be filled in Anaheim. An amusing feature is that all three of the local G. O. P. committee members of the committee were elected on a platform opposing Whataker and their opponents defeated on cue favoring him.
