NATIONAL POLITICAL TACTICS

Republican Politicians of Small Call bre Follow Lead of Those Higher ' Up in the Scale,

- Is it any wonder that underlings in the republican party turn a penny for themselves in thes toles of appointw?2 offices ‘when they have such an ex !cellent exainple set by the ones high erup. : e ; When Representative Slemp now secretary to President Coolidge wasr in congress from the state of Vir ginia it seems he sold the federal pa tronage to the highest bidder, the same as was done in Indiana and probably many other states. ~ The disclosures were made by let ters written in 1921 by.L. B. Howard secretary to Representative Slemp to Benjamin B. Powell ' a . Virgini: henchman. = | : The lgtters are sp unblushingly frank that it is hard to believe that they could have been written. One of them had to do"with the appoint ment of a rural mail carrier all the eligibles = being Democrats. *The question is,” Howard had written to Benjamin B. Powell supposed to be the intermediary between applicants for place and Representative Slemp; “can we get the one we appoint to put up some cash? I know you can do so if any one can.” “My suggestion would .be to work through Arch Staples so as not to get any hobble that might hurt us. If you can agree to get one of the three to do something we can make the appointment immediately. Better not use my name or Mr; Slemp’s in the ‘matter.’ Thisletter bears' date! December 19 1821 On the same day another letter 80 it is charged was writen in regard tp the same appointment,. in which it is said: “I would get all I could ou of the matter, Give it to the one tha will give you the most. You should have at least $2OO I think.” In a letter dated December 27 1921 signed '\by Howard reference is made to a life appointment which was_about to be made. . But before it is made, so the letter runs, “it will be necesa|

sary for you to get in touch with him the appointee and arrange for some money. We will have to have at least $l5O in order to come out whole. It took' half that - amount to put the matter over, which I will explain to you when I see you. .I wish you to handle the matter instead of of writing to them direct. I would not write any letter on the matter but phone the boy to come and see you | * * * If you think it is worth more than the.above amount you ecan arrange accordingly.” lln a postscript in this: “Be sure and destroy this letter after you are through with it.” . Mr. Slemp explained at the time! this matter was brought up in congress .by Representative Harrison, that the money was raised in order to make up a quota assessed against Virginia to. wipe out acommittee deficit. It is hard to see that it makes any difference what was done or was to be done with the money since it as raised from the sale of offices. . The series closes' a letter to Mr. Powell written by Mr. Slemp dated De cember 22 1921 which is as follows. “Dear Ben:—l have letters in regard to the:collection of money for postoffices. . One must be very careful about this, It will bring the party into disrepute which will be bad for every one. We must preserve our standing with the people and with the administration.”

Cuts Down Delegates.

. The republican national committee has' cut down the number of delegates to the national convention from the outhern state+l924. No delegates will be allowed under ‘the new rale from congressional districts which do not maintain a Republican organization and do not. cast at least 2,500 Republican votes. This strips' many southern districts entirly of representation, reducing ' South Carolina’s strength from 11 to 4, Mississpippi’s from 12 to 4, Louisiana’s fro mi 2 to 9, and Georgia's from 17 to 9. The Florida delegation however is increased from 8 to 10, Tennessee’s from 20 to 26 and Virginia’s from 15 to 16. _ i Four delegates at large are allowed each state, and two additional delegates at large are called for on each representative at- large, =
