STATEMENT OF DENISoN
Assistant Attorney General Prsdiet'
That Civil Service and System Of
Promotion Would Be Way
TO Make Selections.

Baltimore, Md. Dec. 16.-Political
lawyers In the government service are
largely responsible for the popular Inn
pression that 1t Is next to impossible
10 nut a rich criminal in jail. declared
Assistant Attorney General w. T. Dem
ison in an address here today before
the National Civil Service Reform as.
ISOLATION.
Predicting that civil service princi.
pIes ultimately would be applied to all
legal positions in the government serv-
ice with the possible exception OF at
torney general and solicitor general
Mr.. Denison declared the breakdown
OF the criminal law was due largely
TO political appointments In legal posi-
tions because they prevent the people
from getting their moneys worth In
ability and services.
"A law officer of ine government.
and especially n criminal prosecutor.
ought not to know a republican from
n democrat, said Mr.. Denison.
President Taft and Attorney General
wickersham had eliminated political
considerations from all appointments
under attorney general, except In
few isolated cases, he continued. and
as the result of his experience IN the
prosecuting branch Of the government,
he said he had come to believe that all
assistant attorneys general and all
United states attorneys could best be
selected by promotion on competitive
basis and all positions below assistant
district attorney by competitive oral
and other examination, a practice
which had been used by Henry l..
stlmson when the latter was United
States district attorney In New York.
Mr.. Denison said that Mr.. Stimson's
prosecutions of rebates, sugar frauds
and bank wreckers never could have
succeeded II he had made appoint
ments In his office in accordance with
the demands OF politicians. The New
York politicians, he said. had ever pro-
tested to Attorney General Bonaparte
that Stimson was requiring too much
public work from his assistants, which
had the effect of causing them to neg
lect legal work for the republican or
ganization Of New York. which they
wanted done at public expense.
