WHAT IT COST EM.

Republican Candidates Contributed Liberally to Their Campaign Fund in Jasper County. According to the reports of candates for county offlte filed with the clerk of the circuit court, the republicans seem to* have had a pretty good-sized campaign fund in this county. The republican candidates generally contributed quite liberally to their county campaign fund proper, the candidates for clerk, treasurer, auditor and sheriff each contributing SSO; surveyor, assessor, commissioners and representative, $25 each; prosecutor sls. This is a total of $3 40, which is more than ten times the amount contributed by the democratic candidates for county and district office to their campaign fund. The lollowing expense accounts of candidates for county and district office have been filed, many of the amounts being for meals, traveling expenses, gasoline, auto hire, etc. Quite a number who filed reports had no expenses whatever, and the names of such do not appear in this list, only those who had some actual expense, and so stated in their reports, being given herewith: JOINT-REPRESENTATIVE Patrick Hays, deru ......... $ 23.95 W.
