l know. a large majority of appointees
are in each case for the presidential
candidate from the state This has
not been true in Ohio, and my inter

would insist anywhere else, that OPP

be considered as a necessary prere-
quisite to holding the commission of
the president.
In my letter to the civil service
commission of June -. 1902. which
now holds good and will be enforced,
officers are warned not to use their
places TO control political movements
nor 10 cOerce their subOrdinates, nor
to neglect their public duties for poll

scandal by their political activity: but
outside OF the classified service they
