Full Text

It is well known that there are hundreds of employees of the government who are credited to democratic congressional districts without the consent or knowledge of any democrat residing in the district and that many of them have never been within five hundred miles of the places which are given upon the department books as their homes. Of course this is unjust to the residents of those districts who wish to enter the government service. They are met at the start with the statement that the quota of their state is full, while as a matter of fact it isn't full; that is, not of bona fide residents.
Democratic congressmen have long been trying to get this wrong righted, and now success is in sight. Lists of all government employees credited to each of the states are to be furnished the congressional delegations of those states, so that those who are improperly credited can be pointed out and removed from office, making room for an actual citizen of the state.

Event Details

Hundreds of government employees are credited to Democratic congressional districts without consent or knowledge of local Democrats, many never having been near those places. This blocks bona fide residents from service as quotas appear full. Democratic congressmen have sought correction, and now lists will be furnished to delegations for removal of improper credits.
