President Roosevelt vows civil service purity in three branches
Washington reports an official White House conference on civil service led by President Roosevelt. He stated three branches of government service to stay out of politics: the army, the jury, and the dependencies, meaning Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines. He indicated no appointments would be politically motivated in these areas and noted plans to include rural free delivery carriers in civil service. The debate over extending civil service to capital and cabinet positions lingered with possible Senate action.
