All Federal employes have been | warned against taking active parts in political campaigns this year in an {order issued by the Civil Service Com- | mission. The order is similar to those issued by the commission in former | campaigns. Attention also was called by the com- mission to an order issued by Postmas- {ter General New stating that it is u | wise for postmasters to “accept politi- | cal managements or become conspicu- ous in political campaigns.” | Text of Warning. The civil service warning reads as follows: “Competitive employes, while retain- ing the right to vote and to express privately their opinions on political subjects, are forbidden to take an active part in political management or in political campaigns. This also applies io temporary employes, employes on leave of absence with or without pay, substitutes and laborers. Political ac- tivity in city, county, State or national | elections, whether primary or regular, or in behalf of any party or candidate, or any measure to be voted upom, is prohibited. This rule applies to tem- porary employes in classified positions.” | ‘The commission also called attention to the sections of the criminal code | which provide “that no legislative officer, officer elect or candidate for election, and no executive or judicial | officer or employe shall solicit or be‘ | concerned in soliciting or receiving any | money or contribution for political pur- | poses from any other officer or employe of the Government; that no solicita~ tion or receipt of political assessments shall be made by any person in any room or building occupied in the dis- charge of official duties by any officer or employe of the United States; that no officer or employe shall dis- | charged or demoted for refusing to | make any contribution for political | purposes; and that no officer or em- ploye of the Government shall directly or indirectly give or hand over to any {other officer or employe in the service {of the United States or to any member | or delegate to Congress any money or | other valuable thing for the promotion | of any political object whatever. | “Sectfon 122 of the Criminal Code | ovides that whoever shall violate any provision of the four scctions shall be fined not more than $5000 or im- prisoned not more than three years, or both,” says the order.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, July 25—With “hare mony at least a foot thick” blanketing his headquarters in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Senator George H. Moses today began laying his plans for making the Eastern States safe for the Republican party. Any differences he might have had with Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican national committee, appar- ently had been settled by his appoint-p ment as vice chairman of the Eastern advisory committee charged with co- ordinating the work of the natlonal, senatorial and congressional commit- tees. “I should say that just now harmony is at least a foot thick hereabouts,” he said in parrying questions of interview- ers as to reported strife at the meeting Monday of the Eastern Republican leaders. Seeks Seven Senate Seats. The New Hampshire Senator jocu= larly parried questions as to what his exact duties would be, but he said that one of his activities would be to attempt to “pry those seven Democratic Se: tor up for re-election in the Se board States, “out of their seats. Three Republican Senators also are up for re-election. Territorially, he said, his sphere of influence would extend from Maine to » North Carolina and “it may run over a little on the edges.” The Senator said he was going to Chicago for a conference August 4 with Chairman Work and the Western lead« ers and from there to Palo Alto, Calif. where he will formally notify Mr, Hoover of his nomination. Then he expects to return to New York and take his “coat off.” Expressing optimism at the outiookt in the East, the Senator said that ale though the Republicans might lose some votes in the normally Republican cities of the East on the prohibition question he expected the rural dry vote' to offset this defection. He said he also believed that “this cam) will see a breaking up of the solid South.” HOOVER PREPARES BY RESTING. Candidate Adheres to Program Outlined on Leaving Capital. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif.
