WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 1S.-
President Roosevelt today issued the
following executive order:
ION request OF the civil service COM
mission the attorney general has sub
mitted to me the following opinion:
Your note of the 18th inst. re-
quests me to advise you relative to
the subject of political contributions
as shown by the correspondence which
you inclose between the civil service
commission and officers of the Repub-
lican state committees Of Pennsyl-
Vania and Ohio.

pears recently that circular letter
was issued by the Republican state
convention committee signed IN. S.
Quay, chairman" stating that financial
assistance is needed in the coming
congressional and state election, and
that the committee will be greatly
obliged if the addressee will aid to the
extent of his ability and inclination.
This circular letter bore in It's caption
the name of Senator Quay as chair
man and of w. r. Andrews, clerk Of
the senate committee on immigration,
rs secretary; and was sent by mail to
various federal officers and their en-
ployes at their home addresses. Upon
ADVICE from the commission that De-
pause of their official relations neither
Senator Quay or Mr.. Andrews could
properly serve upon a committee con-
perned in soliciting and receiving po-
jitical contributions from federal Of
l1cers or permit their names to be held
forth In letters making such solicita-
ton, the circular letter, as far as adj
dressed to federal officials, was with
drawn.
Immediately thereafter another
circular letter was Issued in identically
the same form except that it bore the
signature of the treasurer Of the COM
mittee who is not a federal off1cehold-
er. The commission pointed out the
illegality of this circular because it
carried on its heading the names of
Senator Quay and Mr.. Andrews and
directed it's recall; and this ruling is
now contested by Mr.. Andrews.
An Ohio Case.
In the Ohio case a circular was
Issued by the Republican state ex-
ecutive committee bearing the names
Of Charles Dick (member of congress)
and of various federal officials and
stating that any assistance which the
addresses can give as one Of those
directly interested in party success in
Ohio will be gratefully acknowledged"
It seems that this circular was sent
to federal officials, that the commits

to have remained neutral in the mat
