President Roosevelt urges Postmaster General Meyer not to allow members of his department to name as advisers anyone whom they consult about possible appointees to office. Meyer and others may of course seek advice from whomever they choose, but they should not give the impression that these advisers have a right, in any official capacity, to “distribute offices” in their area.
