JUDGES PAY BIG PRICES.
They Tell of Campaign Expenses to
Mazet Committee.

New York Sept. 27.-From testimony
before the Mazet Committee, given by
eleven Supreme Court Justices, the as
founding fact was learned that the
Supreme Court Bench in New York
bears one-half the total expenses of an
election.
Justice David McAdam testified that
an election in New York costs his party
100000.
OF this amount he and his associates
contributed about one-half.
From 81 500 to $4,000 the prices ran.
Election expense certificates were pro-
duced, and the Judges spoke of the
enormous contributions with the ut
most composure.
OF the eleven Justices who took the
stand but one--Justice McLcan-had
failed to contribute most literally.
Justice McAdam led the list. His
election expenses reached $4,000. His
salary is $1,000 a year.
Some of the learned. dignifed jurists
were of the opinion that the system
of political contribution by Judges was
vicious and should be abolished.
