PUBLIC LEDGER
SOME CAMPAIGN EXPENSES
Enormous Sums Spent to Choose Our
President.
WASHINGTON- Six dreadnaughts
and a battle cruiser could be built
with, the money to be spent on the
"education" of the public in the in
terest of this or that candidate in the
1916 presidential campaign.
Fifty million dollars at least will
be tossed into the quadrennial frenzy
$3.50 for every man who casts a
ballot 50 cents for every man, wo
man, child and Indian in the land.
Supposedly you know whom you
want to vote for for president. But
nevertheless the various candidates
and bosses are about to spend $50,-
000,000 to tell you.
This includes, of course, die ma
chinery of the actual elections, and
this represents about half the amount
The other 25 millions wilL be spe-nt in!
the interests of the different candi-
dates for national and state offices as
follows:
Postage $2,000,000
Telegraph and telephone. . 1,000,000
Advertising 10,000,000
Speakers 1,000,000
Publicity. ... A 1,000,000
Brass bands 500,000
Rent of halls and theatres 500,000
Clerical help 1,000,000
Campaign buttons, badges 1,000,000
Convention and "rallies". 1,000,000
Printing 3,000,000
'Workers'
3,000,000
Campaign expenses are hidden now
just as they always were, for there
is a barn-door loophole in the pub
licity law. For money advanced from
the candidate's own pocket for his
personal expenses, or any money ex
pended for his personal expenses,
which includes postage, telegraph
tolls, letters, circulars, and all print
ing other than newspaper advertising
shall not be considered subject to the
publicity clause.

It's easy to pay a man an enormous
salary for mailing envelopes when in
reality he is using the money as di
rected for very different purposes.
The biggest known single contri
bution to a campaign was Thomas F.
Ryan's $450,000 for Parker. Bryan
spent $1,000,000 and Blaine $125,
000 for their defeats. Mark Hanna
spent $200,000 for a "personal cam
paign" to save Iowa for McKinley.
Lincoln's first election cost $1,000.
Among George Washington's cam
paign expenses are listed: One hogs
head and one barrel of punch, 35 gal
lons of wine, 43 gallons of hard cider.

twenty-five new houses, next month

According to Winston Churchill
200,000 officers now with the British
Army are employing 200,000 ser

! an army in itself. Mr. Churchill has

might be inferred that he has been
serving as a private.
