At the National Civil Service Reform league closing session in New Haven on December 6, W Dudley Foulke, ex civil service commissioner, denounced President Wilson for civil service breaches in fourth class postmaster appointments, urging merit-based appointments and removal of political influence.

The league backed Wilsonian merit reforms and urged Congress to pass related legislation while opposing diplomatic posts tied to campaign contributions.
