Public Officials to Keep Out of Politics
U.S. CONGRESS PASSES MEASURE United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Friday, 9.10 p.m. WASHINGTON, July 21. Congress passed a measure which will make it illegal for all Federal public officials and employees, except the President, Cabinet officers, etc., to engage in political activities. The law, which is ostensibly designed to prevent the self-perpetuation of the political machine through the control of relief workers, is expected to have a drastic effect on the Democrat Party organisation, for the most minor officeholders will be prevented from acting as delegates to national conventions. It is thought Mr. Roosevelt may veto the measure.
