Can a poor man afford to be a
candidate for any important po-
litical office? The assertion has
often been made that be can not,
and that only the rich can afford
the luxury of political honors. Ac-
cording to a statement made by
Mr.. Joseph E. Willard it appears
that it cost him $18, 342 40 to be a
candidate for governor of Virginia
in the recent primaries. That is
a very great deal more than Mr.
Willard would have received as
salary from the office. To Judge py
this showing, a poof man would
be foolish to enter the lists for
governor in Virginia. Still it fire.
quently occurs that the people
take up the candidacy of poor
man and elect him to office almost
without cost to himself.
