He haB rescinded re-scinded that portion of his famous civil service order which prevented federal office-holders from engaging actively in politics or contributing to election fund?. Mr. Hayes Bays he expects to "put up" money for tho campaign. He alao says officeholders office-holders can mako political speeches and do all in their power, legitimately, legitimate-ly, for the party's Bucceas.
