Transcript	to Barnes & then let it go to a vote, but in my case no agreement could be reached, except that Nelson & McCumber said they intended to fight me to the end of time!! [sideways, left:] For Continuation of this book see Book beginning this date. [sideways, right:] "Post", June 22, 1906. [newspaper clipping:] "NO VOTE ON POSTMASTER. Senator Tillman Promises Not to Delay Action After To-morrow. No vote was taken in the executive ses- sion of the Senate yesterday on the nomi- nation of Benjamin F. Barnes as post- master of Washington, but on the promise of Senator Tillman that after to-morrow he would do nothing more to delay the vote, it was agreed to take the nomina- tion up then and dispose of it. By a vote of 29 to 17 the Senate in ex- ecutive session displaced the nomination of James Wickersham to be judge of a United States District court in Alaska, and gave preference to the Barnes' nomi- nation. The Wickersham case was dis- cussed without a conclusion being reached. It is doubtful, in view of the action of the Senate yesterday, whether this nomi- nation will be voted on at all at this session." Major Lacey has been trying for some days to get the N.P. Ry & G. N. Ry. interests to force McCumber to quit but so far without avail. He tells me that a Mr. Carroll, an attorney from St Louis, and an atty. for the N.P. went to Chicago to see Pres. Elliott of the N.P. who was very much incensed at McCumbers bull headedness, but could do nothing, as J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern is the North Dakota boss.
