CRAIG NOMINATED FOR POSTMASTERSHIP
Clark Craig, owner of the City Ice Plant Company, was nominated by Rep. Lyle H. Boren for the office of Shawnee postmaster. This culminated a lengthy contest in which several local men sought the position. Boren revealed his nomination of Craig in a letter to the News-Star on Thursday, Sept. 16, 1943.
Craig led a field of applicants in a civil service test for the position several months earlier. He would succeed Kib Warren, longtime holder of the office. Boren’s recommendation of Craig was sent to the senate for confirmation and subsequently to the White House for President Roosevelt’s signature, if the senate approved. In most cases, it was simply a formality.
