Prestde"t sa-yes Again Explains
Hts GivI service Order.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Rela.
tive to his order co Office holders,
President Hayes, in recent inter-
view, said the executive order was
designed to let faithful officers I'M
derstand that their first allegiance
Is to the Government and to it's in
terests and not to PARTIES. That is
now very generally understood.
But as to contributing a reasona-
BILE share out of their incomes to
meet the expenses of the campaign
there can be no objection to that.
Any officer may give or not, as he
pleases, without affecting his ten
ure of Office. AS to the personal
participation of Federal officers in
the campaign, there can and will
be no objection to this unless they
are used to promote personal inter.
ests of certain individuals,
through the manipulation of pat
ronage and the management OF
party machinery. After candi-
dates are fairly in the field without
the aid ofconventions packed with
0ffice-holders acting at the beck OF
the dominant clique Of politicians,
there will be no objection to Fed
eral office holders doing their share
of the work so long as 1T does not
interfere with their official duties.
