MUST CEASE ALL
POLITICAL ACTION
Forbidden to Solicit Votes,
Make Speeches or Take
Any Part.

ure is being taken by Census Director

litical activity on the part of census
supervisors and enumerators during

each supervisor inform him Immediate
ly whether he holds office or member
ship in any political committee. and II
so, just what position and whether the
supervisor is willing to resign such po-
sttions and refrain from political actfv-
ity during his term Of office. If the
answer is in the affirmative the director
expects the supervisor to send a copy
Of his resignation from any such posi-
ton, with a statement that the resigna-
ton has been accepted.
In view of the provision In almost
every state constitution that no state
officer shall hold a federal position at
the same time, the director also in the
letter calls for information on this
point.

panied by oaths of office, a copy of
the census laws. and the preliminary

The latter will then take up the ques-
ton of selection of enumerators, and
the subject of the test examination Of
the force of 5000 men and their desig-
nation for the approval of the director
will form the subjects of a more spe-
cific letter of Instructions which will
follow. The appointment of the emu
merators will not be made before jan
