Dear Three P’s:
The other evening, after lodge'
Fleeting, several of us were hav
ing coffee and doughnuts and a
discussion developed as to the
fost of being nominated and
elected president. The discus
sion wandered off into the cost
£o nominate and elect officials
of state and federal office. Some
said Congress had limited con
tributions to parties for the elec
tion of federal officials and oth
ers stated there was no limita
tions. The same applies to the
election of state officials. Do
you have any ideas as to costs
in state and federal elections?
. —Alwin
Dear Alwin:
No one knows,-and estimates
and guesses are wide apart as
to the actual cost of electing a
president and other federal of-j
ficials. Various estimates have,
been made, up to thirty million
dollars to elect a president and
members of Congress on the
same ticket. It is true that Con
gress has passed various acts
limiting the amount of individ
ual and corporate contributions
to political parties for the na
tional election of their candi
dates, but this only scratches
the surface. Such reports are
made each year to Congress.
The various states have varying
laws on the subject, but they
are not sufficient to develop
complete reports as to political
erpenditures.
However, these laws and regu
lations just about scratch the
surface, for they only cover the
contributions made to the major
parties which receive the funds
and make distribution where
they think the money will bring
the best results. The laws do
not cover contributions from la
bor unions, cooperates and from
private individuals who back
certain candidates through the
means of creating separate or
ganisations aparFTrom the rSb
ognized party activities. Such
organizations are known under
various names but generally
bare classified as “booster”
clubs which go all out for their
special candidates.
The primaries are somewhat
different. Here there is indi
vidual competition within the
parties without the specific
backing of the party, and can
didates running in the primaries
in such states that have pri
maries, usually spend their own
rttoney and that of their friends,
and tnere is no accounting for
such money and expenditures.
In the Republican Party there
is, presumably, no competition
to Nixon so that there is little,
if any, activity on the part 'Of
the Republican Party in the pri
maries. On the other hand, in
the Democratic Party, there are

i at least six candidates for the
| nomination as candidate tor the
| presidency. Not all states have
| primaries. In such states that
•do not have primaries, the nomi
nation of a candidate is left ta
■ the state delegation to the na
-1 tional convention, but there is a
great deal of the behind the
scenes activity to win such
state delegations. In the several
states having primaries, there
has been considerable competi
tion and activity. Senator Ken
nedy won in New Hampshire
with little real opposition. In
j Wisconsin, it is another ques
’ tion. There is competition be
tween Senator Kennedy and
Humphrey. Then there will be
mild competition in West Vir
ginia and more competition in
Oregon and Washington where
there are several candidates.
On the part of m'ost of the
candidates the activities will be
limited due to lack of money.
Humphrey will campaign in two
states. Symington in two states;
there will be no campaigning in
California as there has been,
presumably, an agreement that:
Governor Brown will control the)
first vote of the s*ate delegation!
and after that the vote will
swing over to Senator Kennedy.
On the other hand, the Ken
nedy organization is almost as
strong as the National Demo
icratic Party, for it has been
stated that Kennedy has a
i complete organization working
j with him in every state. No
other candidate has such an or
' ganization, nor the money to
back it up. Senator Kennedy,
himself, has stated that the nine
members of his family, includ
ing his mother, with husbands
and wives, are working for him
land, no doubt, contributing the
| necessary funds. The cost of
the Kennedy candidacy cannot
be calculated, for there is no re
porting of such contributions
and expenditures of the many
j individuals supporting his can
didacy. No doubt the wealth
of the entire Kennedy family
is in back of his candidacy.
Then there are contributions
and expenditures made by or
ganizations such as the Farm Co
• operates, which will support
i candidates in favor of a liberal
>' farm policy. They do not ac
-1 count for such contributions and
! expenditures: in fact, there is
some doubt that they have the
I authority to spend such money
without the consent of the mem
j bers of the cooperatives, which,
apparently is not sought. These
organizations back and oppose
presidential candidates, as well
las Senate and Congressional
I candidates according to their
jviews on the farm problem.
Then the unions make large
-contributions and have their
own political forces working in
•favor of and against candidates
I for all offices. Last year it was
•reported the unions spent sev
j eral millions against the right to
work laws and certain candi
! dates in California. Hoffa al
ready has an organization, work
ling with several millions in,
I back of them, against certain
candidates and it is presumed
I that the AFL-CIO is organiz
ing on the same basis.
It is impossible to estimate
what the total expenditures of
the parties and the separate or-

ganizations will amount to, but
there is no doubt that the com
ing election for President, as
well as for Senators and Con-j
gressmen, is going to be a hot!
one, with no holds barred andl
unlimited and unreported funds]
being expended. As has been]
stated before, running for office
is not a poor man’s game unless
he has the unqualified support
of his party and some financial
backers." Your estimate of the
cost is as good as that of any
one else.
Dear Three P’s:
Is it possible to have a fine
loving and affectionate husband
who at the same time is a miser
and who is critical of every cent
spent on the children and fami
ly? Such is my husband, who
has a good income but who
holds on to it. What can I do?
—Lumenida.
Dear Lumenida:
No doubt you have heard of,
Ghandi of India and the sit-]
down strikes. Well, you can]
follow the same procedure.]
When your husband comes home
| for dinner, just have some weak
cambric tea with stale toast.]
Then do not send his laundry i
out: only have a minimum of
lighting so the house appears]
to be in the dark. When he]
says anything, just tell him that]
you do not have enough money]
to run the house and feed the
children; that you are thinking
of getting a'job so the children
will be well fed. Then, when
he begins to come around insist
on a household budget over
which you should have complete
control.
Give me the liberty to know,
to utter and to agree freely ac
cording to conscience, above all
liberties. —John Milton.
