Neither C. B. Deane nor John R. Jones can spend more than $5000 to , get elected this Nov. 8th- provided either . can; 'get., hold ot anywhere near that amount! The Federal corrupt practices act limits Congressional expendi tures to $2300 where the total Congressional ;yote.in the previous efetioh aIeife than 83,334 votes. That" would be at the rate ot 3c per vote. But where the total vote was over 83,334, then, the maximum is raised to not over $5000 or not over 6c per vote. In this 8th district election in 1936, a total of 85,545 votes were cast, and so our district will come under the $5000 bracket. In other words, the Federal law will permit a candidate to spend asl not a cent more. y In only four district in North Carolina can $5000 be spent by a candidate the 8th, 9th? 10th and 11th districts. In the other seven districts, and in all six dis tricts in South Carolina, only $2500 can be spent by a candi date, inasmuch as the vote in those districts was less than 83,334 votes. . Of course this spending refers to legitimate expenses- advertis ing, organization, letters, etc. and not to what we jocularly referred to as ""six cents a vote".
