Post Offices And Politics By Satoyard
Postmaster General Cortelyou restricts civil service officials from party activity and orders that political committee members who hold office resign one post. Clerks in the classified service should be chosen from Civil Service lists rather than department rolls. The move challenges insiders and could empower the outs, especially among Kentucky Republicans who face a broad reform field with fewer opponents. The piece comments on party machines, Goebel, and the need for a disciplined Republican South.
