CLERKS WHO DON'T CONTRIBUTE.
Mr.. Roosevelt's Words Of Comfort for
Government Employees.

Civil Service Commissioners Roosevelt in an
interview advises government clerks that they
are not obliged to contribute to campaign funds
and warns all employees of the government that
they are in danger Of prosecution IL
they solicit or receive from or give
money to other employees, directly or
indirectly, for campaign purposes. He
tells clerks they need apprehend nothing
from threats designed to frighten them into
making political contributions. No clerk can
be molested for refusing to contribute. I'VE
are sure" he says, that no cabinet officer
would permit man to be molested for refusing
to contribute to a campaign fund. 1t would be
a direct breach of law TO permit any one 10 be
molested for such a cause. The threat by ire
sponsible outsiders to blacklist men refusing to
contribute IL mere piece of idle bravado, for
no one in the government service dare or in
my opinion desires to try to put such a throat
into execution"
