Costs to be Candidate,

Primary elections cost money,
and It - going to be found that
they are no less expensive than the
final elections for which the State,
to q large extent, pays.
But the primarlas must be paid
for BY the candidates. In order
to ascertain what proportion of the
expense is to be assessed TO each
candidate, it was resolved to take
the amount of the salary of the Of
fice for which he offers himself,
and to multiply it by the number
Of the years of his term, and to
take J per cent Of the whole amount
to pay the expenses of his caudi
dacy in the primary.
Thus . United States Senator
gets $1,000 year for six years, or
1900 for his term of service. Of
this amount ! per cent would be
~, 100. The Governor gets $1,000
for four years, or $50, 900 for
the term. His candidacy will cost
him 81, 400. and 80 on for all the
other candidates, according to sal
ary and term.
But It is not only the victorious
candidate who will have to pay.
Each and every candidate will have
to put up his money before be can
enter the lists; credit will not go
IN this instance. Therefore, it costs
something to be q candidate, and
the primary charge is in addition
to the creating" the travelling
over the country making speeches
and the like. Ambition is expen-
sive. -Picaynne.
