Strictly Enforced.
Washington, D. c.. Aug 21.-F1oods
OF letters are reaching the department
of commerce and labor regarding the
presidents order to Secretary Nagel
regarding the absolute elimination of
politics from the appointment of CEN
sus supervisors and enumerators. These
come from many states, including
Iowa.
The question asked is how strict the
Interpretation of the presidents posi-
tion will be. Those who write are in
formed that the presidents order will
be strictly adhered to- In one instance
a county chairman in Ohio has been
appointed supervisor and still retains
the craftsmanship. Assistant Secretary
McHarg believes that this man will
have to resign, tho the matter is not
yet settled. Mr.. McHarg thinks that
the enforcement of President Taft's or
der will prohibit man from holding
any political place whatever while par
ticipating in the census. If this view
is adhered, to, number Of supervisors
will have to resign
