LIMIT FUNDS OF ' 'CANDIDATES FOR SENATORIAL TOGA Vare’s Expenditures Must Be Held Within $25,000 in Final Race. Times Waahinnton Bureau. 1322 Sew York Avenue WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—William S. Vare, Republican candidate for the United States Senate from Pennsylvania, cannot legally spend more than $25,000 on his final campaign. Neither can Smith or Brennan, Illinois senatorial nominees, shoot larger bankrolls than this without violating the Federal corrupt practices act of 1925. Under the terms of this act, which passed Congress as a Senate rider to the postal salary increase bill, and which was sigifed by President Coolidge, Feb. 28, 1925, candidates for the House of Representatives are limited in most cases to expenditures of $2,500 while most candidates for the Senate must not spend more than SIO,OOO in the final elections. Can't Exceed $25,000 In populous States, however, an alternative proposition fs provided by law, whereby the amount spent fcmay be equal to the sum obtained W'<y multiplying three cents by the ■"Total number of votes cast at the last general election for all candidates for the office which the candidate seeks. “But in no event," says the law, “shall this amount exceed $25,000 if a candidate for Senator, or $5,000 if a candidate for representative, delegate or resident commissioner.” State laws in sixteen of the thirtythree states holding senatorial elections this fall, are more stringent than the Federal statute, i Maximum expenditures for both primary and election are as follows in the following states: California, $1,000; Connecticut, ffsS33; Indiana $6,250; Kansas, $1,000; Maryland, $1,780; Massachusetts, $15,000; Missouri, $14,079; New Hampshire, $2,000; North Dakota, $3,000; Oregon, $2,500; South Dakota, $5,000; Utah, $4,000; Wisconsin, $7,500; Alabama, Arkansas and lowa, SIO,OOO each. The Federal limit of SIO,OOO expenditures in the final election will apply to those seeking senatorial jobs from Arlzoni, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, South Carolina, Vermont and Washington. Likewise it is the Federal limitation on the 3 cents per voter basis, which allows Illinois senatorial candidates to spend as much as $25,000 in the final campaign; Kentucky nominees, $23,630; New York, $25,000; North Carolina, $14,810; Ohio, $25,000. The Federal law provides for publicity of contributions and expense accounts. . It is believed by close students of law that anew measure passed by at the next session, regulating primary as well as election expenses, will not be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Newberry Case The decision of the Supreme Court in the Newberry case hinged on a technicality, it is declared, whereby the court, by a vote of five to four, decided that Newberry could not be convicted since the Federal corrupt •practices act of 1910 limiting expenditures by a House or Senate candidate “in procuring his nomination and election to $5,000 and SIO,OOO, respectively,” was passed prior to the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment, which provided for the direct election of United States Senators. Ha.d framers of the corrupt practices act of 1925, taken advantage of this loophole in the Supreme Court’s decision in the Newberry case, it is believed that they might have safely included Federal limitations in primary campaigns as well as in elections, and. thus have prevented the huge expenditures in Illinois and Pennsylvania thf^year.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES/_

Free Admission to Fair for Children Every chil in Indiana under twelve years of age is to an opportunity to visit the State fair this year, free of charge. Letters have been sent out by Levi P. Moore, publicity director of tl)e fair, to Sunday school superintendents throughout the State, asking as to the number of eligible children in the different churches. The superintendents are asked to indicate in their replies just how many tickets will be needed, so that they may be delivered quickly. The free tickets will be good for admission on Saturday, Sept. 4, opening day of the 1926 fair, which has been officially named Children’s Day. Moore suggested that any superintendents who are missed by the board should write, stating their needs, since it is impossible to obtain a full list of all churches in the State.
