under the Civil Service by an ex-
ecutive order, SO that now even
the Presidential Offices are filled on
a merit basis rather than by po-
litical favoritism.
This has removed the small post
masters from the clutches Of the
politicians. and they are said to be
less enthusiastic in their party al
legiance and slow TO contribute to
campaign funds.
The next step in the emancips-
tion of the postal employe was
when President Wilson placed all
the Offices in the postal service on
merit basis by executive order.
In former years fervent appeals
were sent by campaign managers
to small-town aspirsnts for post
office spoils as well as TO incun-
bents in an effort to elicit contri-
buttons. This year IL is understood
that these appeals are having little
weight, since a change OF admins
tration at Washington no longer
means a change OF personnel in
small-town postoffices.
Postmasters who, addressed as
individuals in order TO keep within
the law, hSye been approached on
the subject OF contributions have
not responded very literally. IL is
said. and although generous with
good wishes have sent nothing
more substantial.

Political Gold Mine in Federal

Politicians will find Federal en-
ployes poor picking for campaign
funds this year. according to f. J.
Nemyer. secretary-tressurer of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes.
Members of the Federal employees
unions are familiar with the provi-
siops of the Civil Service law which
prohibit employees of the classified
service from contributing directly
to the campaign fund of any politi-
cal party" said Secretary Newmyer
last night in denial of current
reports to the contrary.
Party managers are at their wits
end as to ways and means OF rails
ing money, it is said, and are finding
a different situation in Washington
from the good old days when the
Federal service was a fruitful field
for recruiting campaign budgets.
With the abolition of the old pat
ronage system and the substitution
Of the CLASSIFIED service the govern

former campaigns to insure contri-

secure from the Vaccinations OF
political vire-pulling. Just before

AMONG DEMOCRATS

Prominent Democrats are work

votes TO Harding and Coolidge this
fall claims Robert /. Miller. who is
