UcNEkAL PLAN
TO BE FOLLOWED
Dole Says Order Affects Managerial
Places But Not Speaking
During Campaign.

- HANGES in the personnel OF the
Republican Territorial COMMITTEES
are in prospect. owing to the re-
cent action in council setting forth in
effect that the order of President
Roosevelt should be operative here. SO
that there should be nothing like ex-
treme partisanship ON the part of gov
ernment officials and the occupants of
public office.
The first fruits of the decision OF the
council is the resignation of 3. n
Wright, chief clerk of the Department
of Public Works. from membership in
the committee, and it is expected that
very soon there will follow designations
of Charles WILCOX. clerk in the same
department, and of such outside off,
cials as Andrew Cox. Deputy Sheriff
at WaiaIua, and other officials through
out the Islands. When II comes to the
district committees there will be a
great exodus If the order goes into
such effect, as there are a great num-
Der of minor officers who are among
the workers for party success in those
bodies.

sense part of the administration OF the
President, should be governed by the
orders which he promulgated as affect
ing Federal appointees- 1 am of opin-
ion that there might arise abuses

partments, men of position where they
have the employment of men, who have
the distribution of patronage. at the
head of committees managing cam
paigns. How far this goes 1 am not
sure. as 1 must consult further the
civil service rules. This is the prinei-
pal feature of the matter as 1 take IL.
the keeping out of active politics of
the men who as public servants are the
of all the people.
Nothing in the order. or our discus
sions of II here, can be construed as
the right of party men 10
make addresses on the stump It has
always been the course followed by the
Presidents to axe some speeches dur
ing a campaign, and this right Is mot
one which could be affected. It is sim
ply the working at the head OF man.
