Executive order uproots patronage from fourth class posts
A president issued an executive order placing every fourth class postmaster north of the Ohio and in Mississippi under civil service protections. More than 15,000 postmasters become removable only for cause after hearing. Distribution by state includes Maine 393, New Jersey 636, New York 3301, Ohio 1693, Illinois 1505, Michigan 1234, and others. Republicans privately question motive while Democrats note regional slant and potential tariff implications. The measure aims to curb patronage across major manufacturing centers and may be extended if successful.
