Sec'y. A.S. Burleson (LOC)

    This is Albert S. Burleson, Postmaster General under Wilson, 1913-1921. I guess that had cabinet rank then, so the title was "secretary". There was some debate about a female Burleson in another LOC photo from earlier--during the suffrage parade the day before Wilson's first inauguration.

    Albert Sydney Burleson was postmaster general, appointed by Wilson, whose inauguration this seems to be. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_S._Burleson Click on Burleson tag and you will find a famous suffragette. A relation? (she was "married to an army officer" according to one NYTimes article). Franklin Lane was Secy of the Interior for Wilson: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Lane

    Post Master General during the Wilson Administration -- and a controversial one at that. Who knew there could be a controversial Post Master General? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_S._Burleson
