No. Politics in Census.

A few days ago President Taft had
q very plain talk with the eighty five
supervisors who will have charge Of
next years census. He addressed them
in his Office and gave them to under
stand, in no uncertain way, their
offices could not be used to advance the
political fortunes of any man or party.
Concluding his talk the President said:
MANY Of you-most of you-have been
recommended by congressman, and it
may be that some of those Congressman
will come to yoa and expect, because they
did recommend you, that J GU owe them
something in the way Of selecting the
men as enumerators who will help
them in their Congressional elections.
You have got to select the men whom
you think will do the work, and if you
catch them doing political work wish
you to remove them, just as | will re-
move you if catch you doing political
work. 1t is business. am not quarrel
ing with the Congressmen."

of five years, when for considerations he took
