Leib Under Fire Denies Political Campaign Charges
Philadelphia reports charges against William R. Leib assistant United States treasurer were forwarded to President Roosevelt by the Civil Service Reform Association. They accuse him of violating President Roosevelt's order against federal officeholders engaging in politics and of causing public scandal by activity in Schuylkill County. Hearings in Pottsville and other towns revealed letters seeking campaign contributions from federal employees. Leib denied asking staff for funds and said some employees contributed to state county and ward committees. A related civil suit involving campaign funds was dismissed on technicalities. He said a hearing will occur but he does not know the exact charges or who filed them.
