ton has bcen brought before tho Civil
Service Commission.
Edwin NJ. Lee OF indianapolis. for
ner Chairman OF the Republican State
Central Committee OF Indiana. who is
now reported to be active in Colonel
!ioosevc!ts candidacy, called for a rul-
ing in a telegram which he address"u
TO Chairman John e. Black
Lee asks the commission TO say IL
some Federal oGlceholdcrs. Will be
permitted TO work for Colonel Rousc-
welt, IL others are permitted to work
for President TAFT; he wants to know
what punishment will BE administered
10 ;hose who may violate the inhib,-
ton against political activity. ana
asks Ii Federal ohiceholder Will be
disturbed in his Office il lie refuses 10
take part in the contest.
QUESTION: From Lee.
While the Republican National Com
m!ttee was meeting in Washington last
December Lee issued a statement de-
claring that President Taft could not
carry Indiana. Later he was defeated
Tor reelection as chairman OF the In
diana State Central Committee. Copies
OF the correspondence between Lee ami
man !idi bIdSh were DlDllC
here tonight. Lees telegram was as
follows:.
For certain reasons, many ofTlce-
holders under the civil s.rvice In In
diana are now active in politics for
the purpose Of securing delegates fo-
Ny. TAFT TO the Chicago convention
Many Of these prefer Colon.l Rooss-
Welt as the Republican nominee.
IF some Federal offceholders are
t+f,agk a
Will others be permitted to work for
Colonel Roosevelt? If no Federal
ofnceholder can take part in this con-
test, but under the civil service law
must remain neutral. what Is the pun
ishment for thar taking part?
Many OF those working for Mr..
Taft do not wish to do so, but are led
TO believe that they must In case
any Federal oflceholder refuses to take
part in the contest. Will he be dis
turbad in his Office because he does
refuse?
AN answer to these questions Is
earnestly desired, because it is I'M
portant not only from the points of
View OF the square deal. but also from
a clear understanding OF what the civil
service law requires under all the cir
cumstances stated and whether 1t is
to be enforced"
chairman SLACK reply 10 the three
direct questions follows:
"FIrst-The commission Ia not aware
that some Federal ofticeholdcrs ar.
permitted to work for any candidate
The commission exercises its jurisdlc-
ton with strict lmpartiality, inquiries
into the activities of competitive en-
pioyes violating the act and rul .s
without regard TO their political affili-
ations. and makes such recommends
tons as the nature of the case de-
mands, irrespective of political con-
oeracons. The conclusion Is obvious,
that the commission cannot permit anv
person ov:r whom II has jurisdiction
to be Improperly active in political
affairs. ~
