Hatch Bill Seen Reshaping Political Machinery Nationwide
Observers expect the Hatch bill now on President Roosevelt's desk to alter party operations by limiting political activity of federal officials and restricting relief aid contributions. The measure could remold county and state committees, shifting delegate influence away from job holders. Garner's support and campaign plans push for county level delegate battles and preferential primaries where allowed. The act faces enforcement challenges, but supporters say it would curb improper fund collecting and improve public vigilance.
