BURLESON DEFENDS
HIS APPOINTMENTS
Washington, D. C., Feb. 28
Postmaster General Burleson,
ordinarily silent in the face of
attacks that have been heaped
upon him in the last few
years, went to the defense of.
his administration tonight,
when he issued a statement
denying that politics had con
trolled the appointment of
postmasters under the ex
ecutive order of President
Wilson, issued March 31,
1917, extending them to the
civil service. The charge
that politics has guided the
distribution of this old time
patronage had been the basis
for appeals to Warren G.
Harding to resind the order
as soon as he became presi
dent.
Mr. Burleson revealed the
fact that he sent a question
naire, to the postmasters wh>
have been appointed under
the system asking them to re
veal their politics. Replies,
he said, had been received
from 2,103 postmasters show
ing that 1,010 appointees were
Democrats, 907 were Repub
licans, 32 were independents,
10 were prohibitionists, three
were Socialists and 129 had no
political affiliations, while ten
failed too state their party
affiliations.

umitung tne 11 soumem
states of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Texas and Virginia,
overwhelmingly Democratic in
population—the e q u a ti o n
stands, Mr. Burleson said, 598
Democrats, 846 Republicans,
26 Independents, 9 Prohi
bitionists, 3 Socialists, 95 with
out affiliation, 9 blank and 6
dead.”
Mr. Burleson's statement,
which contained 10 closely
typed pages, analyzed the ap
pofritepmts state by state to
show that even in the south
ern states with the heavy
Democratic population, Re
publicans had been designed
to be postmasters: that Re
publicans had predominated
in normally Republican states,
which was natural and that
the postmasters-themselves, as
shown by quotations from
their letters, took the view
that politics had not entered
into heir appointments.
Mr. Burleson said that the
rule had been followed of |
certifying the applicant who
stood highest in the civil ser
vice tests for appointment, ex-:
cept in a few instances wThen
there was special unfitness and
that politics was in no way
considered.—Commercial Ap
