have run for Office in this county four or five
times. A candidate cannot get along without
spending money and spending it in legiti-

sesses candidates certain amount deter
mined upon by the campaign committee. I
know that Gen. Banning spent great deal
of money when he ran for Office. He was
my partner. If it is wrong to employ Dem
ocrats to hold tickets for Republicans, I have
committed this wrong frequently. 1t is GUS
tomary here to employ men of the opposite
party to work for candidate if they express
An intention to support that candidate. 1t
is comm N practice for candidates to en-
plny men to hold tickets in their interest.
