- STRONGER MERIT SYSTEM PLEDGED Landon and Roosevelt Wire Assurances to Civii Service Assembly. By the Assoctated Press. CINCINNATI, October 22— Strengthening and expansion of the merit system in government Was pledged yesterday by President Roose= velt and Gov. Alf M. Landon, his Re- publican opponent for the presidency. In messages to the annual meeting of the Civil Service Assembly of the United States and Canada, the nomi- nees of the two major parties promised to place a greater proportion of Fed- eral employes under civil service, Landon, in his telegraphic message, said he felt “the vast influx of spoils- men into the Government service under the present administration was a tremendous setback to the cause of good government.” He added that he planned to discuss the subject “at some length” in a public address. Mr. Roosevelt, in a letter, said the “extension of the merit system” would improve Government personnel and added: “As rapidly as existing legislation and conditions in the Federal service will permit, I intend to kring all permanent agencies of the Govern- ment under the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission. Clifford N. Amsden, president of the assembly, which included several hundred leaders in civil service move= ments, told the convention “the Amer= ican people are more and more de- manding that persons in Government positions be appointed on a basis of merit and not on their political opinions. If this public feeling con- G STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSD Roosevelt tinues, the political spoils system is doomed.” Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) citizens. Gov. Wilbur L.

Senator King (D.), Utah, was among the guests on the platform. ‘The thousands spread over the park sent up a tremendous cheer as the President took the platform. After the speech he left for a motor tour of the State, with stops arranged for half a dozen spots. CROWDS GREET ROOSEVELT. President Receives Warm Welcome in | New England Swing.
