Political patronage links in Bennington census work
In Bennington County, the Democratic organization led by Mrs Nesbith Fienberg helped line up about ten applicants for five enumerator jobs in the farm census. The test was to be held in a local public building with arrangements made through the county library. Parishioners and town chairmen were notified, prompting concern from Rep. James W. Lounsbury over party involvement in federal hiring. The census process includes three stages from test to door visits starting November 9, with pay set per completed questionnaire plus a car allowance and a required home study course.
