PR0CRAST|NAT|NC DEMOCRATS
TOLD TO HURRY ALONG CANDIDATES
NO RAP AT CIVIL
SERVICE IN GUSHING
I ENGRAVING HELP

p Washington, April Amy intention
by President Harding to impair the
operation of the civil service law was
specifically disclaimed by White House
officials today after the presidents re-
cent? bureau of engraving dsmssals
again had been the target of Demo-
cratic attack in the Senate.
The chief executives intention, Off
cials4 in his confidence said, was not
in any. sense to break down the spirit
or the letter of the civil service reg
ulations, but rather to improve the
efficiency Of governmental machinery
under those regulations.
The president was said to take the
position that as head Of the govern
ment he Is responsible for efficient gov
ernmental administration. If there is
anything in the civil service that tends
to tie the hands Of the executive, it
was said, it will be looked into. but
without any EFFORT to undermine or at
tack the civil service system.
1t also was asserted that there Is no
intention AT present of changing the
method Of selecting the postmasters
under the presidential appointment.
The system under which the present
administration is working, that is Of
taking one of the three highest under
a competitive examination. IS regarded
by the White House as giving, on the
whole, fairly good satisfaction.
The administration recognizes that
there is considerable criticism in some
quarters over the present method of
selecting postmasters, and officials sug
gcsted that if there was too much
criticism the president might be forced
to withdraw some poStmaStcrs from
under the modified civil service plan.
An alternative had been suggested.
1t was added. for the president. in case
the irritation increased, to withdraw
The first. second and third class post
masters from the civil service where
theyl were placed by executive order.
and TO have persons desiring appoint
mems as postmasters to take a civil
serv fre examination upon recommended
ton kf their congressman 50 that post
ma stsrs could be named from this list.
1t was made clear. however, that IN"
administration had no intention of
abandoning the present system.

Dublin. April I. By A. P)-The
worst attack yet made in pursuance
of the boycott on Belfast goods took
place at three o'clock this morning
when the bonded stores Of the Gus
tom house We're raided and large
quantities OF wine and whiskey,
mostly from Belfast distillery with
which Sir James Craig. the Ulster
premier is associated, were destroyed
One hundred men, armed with revol-
vers, seldge hammers and pick axes
broke their way into the premises,
where they smashed casks Of liquor
pouring it over the floor and into the
city sewers.
An official estimate Of the damage
has not yet been made but the Dublin
Evening Mail places the figure at
hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Most Of this, however, would be the
duty so the loser Is the government
authority, in this case the provision
government. The boycott committee
states that six thousand casks were
destroyed or roughly, half a million
gallons. 1t estimates the value of the
liquor apart from the duty at L250,000.
Boycotting Belfast goods is now the
prominent activity of the dissentient
republican army section. The chief
officers of this group are found at
Orange hall, which was recently COM

Fight Law For
Pure Elections


Republican action to test the new
Registration Law. expected to be
Initiated in the Franklin Circuit
Court was interpreted as a fear Of
clean elections by Judge Chas. A.
Hardin. Chairman Of the Democratic
State Central and Executive CHM
mittees.
at 10 passing strange" said Judge
Hardin. "that a duly organized poll
teal body would institute a suit to
test law that seeks to purify cleo
tons The registration. law has for
it, sole purpose clean elections. IL
contains no partisan provisions what
ever. II imposes exactly the same
conditions on all political parties
playing no favorites.
at strikes the Democratic leader
ship that any party which is afraid
Of this law must object to clean cleo
tons.
81 am amazed that the Republican
party would put itself on record rs
fighting a law designed 20 bring an
honest election. The only criticisms
Of the law that have heard were
that il would cause inconvenience or
cost something for its administration.
No one Of responsibility has accused
il Of being partisan. Anyone who
reads il can see that IT can't be used
by either organization in a selfish
way. Amy organization which puts
itself on record as opposing electrical
machinery which insure pure cleo
tons is doomed to fall.
Under the Statewide registration
law no longer the groups Of repeaters
can be swung from poll to poll; from
county to county; from State to
State in border counties, to create
artificial and corrupt maiorities. No
longer can the transients and fami-
lies who are not entitled to vote Sc
cure the privilege through corrupt
election officers. No longer can the
corruptions, by use Of unlimited cor
ruption funds. be effective as under
the old law. No longer can the I'M
naturalized citizen vote in the mining
camps of Kentucky. The registra-
tion law is not for the benefit OF
either party but to bring about clean
and pure elections.
"in my opinion this law is one OF
the most progressive laws ever enact.
ed by the Legislature in our State,
II renders possible the enactment Of
all progressive laws which are concur.
red in by the majority opinion Of the
electorate. and thereby secures a
foundation Of justice consistent with
Democratic principle and the certain
support of the people."-Louisville
Post.
