CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.
For What Purposes Candidate May
Spend Money.

pensesunder the ecorruptpractices
act passed at the recent extra ses-
sion ot the legislature. The act
defines them as follows
1. For printing and travelling
expenses and personal expenses
incident thereto, stationery, ad-
vertising, postage, expressage,
freight, telegraph, telephone and
other public messenger service.
2. For dissemination Of intor-
nation to the public.
3. For political meetings, de-
monstrations and conventions,
and for the pay and transporta-
tion of speakers.
4. For the rent, maintenance
and furnishing of Offices.
). For the payment of clerks,
typewriters, stenographers, jan
ltors and messengers actually
employed.
8. For the employment of
watchers ct primary meeting and
elections to the number allowed
by law.
z. For the transportation of
voters to and from the polls.
s. For legal expenses, bona
fide, Incurred in connection with
any domination or election.
There are the authorized eX-
pendltures, candidates or treas
urers of political committees are
forbidden to pay, give or lend, or
agree to pay, give or lend either
directly or indirectly any money
or other valuable things tor any
nomination or election expenses
whatever, save as declared IN
these eight exceptions. Consld
cradle latitude IS allowed as may
be seen. All the expenditures
permitted are perfectly legitl-
mate, however. There are some
things that both candidates and
political committees must do, and
there is no purpose in the law to
interfere with anything that may
be proper to promote the inter
ests of a candidate or party. The
purpose is to prevent the corrupt
use of money in politics, to pre-,
vent the purchase of support
through bribery, either with mon
ey or other valuable thing, such,
for instance, as the promise of a
future office. ltput in more def
mite form the principles of acts
which have been IN existence for
many years.
The new law provides for an ac-
counting by which the candidates
and the treasurer of the party
com mittee must state under oath
just how much money has Deen
expended and give the details of
such expenditure. In fact the
statement must be Item zed, and
the law states very clearly what
are legitimate expenses Further
more, every expense account in
Cured by candidate for State
Office must be filed with the Sec
retary of the Commonwealth, and
candidates for other offices must
file with the Clerk of the Court of
Quarter Sessions.
Chief Clerk Thorn has now IN
course of preparation blanks to
be sent to all candidates for State
office, including Senators and
Members of the House of Rep
resentatives, and they must all
file their accounts which will be
open to public inspection. These
blanks will be forwarded to can
didates from the department,
Harrisburg, and those for county
offices must be supplied by the
County Commissioners.

The death of Mr., George w.
Greathead which, after a long Ill
ness, occurred ut his home on
Third street, on Monday morn.
ing, was not altogether uneXpect-
ed. For a week before his death
his strength was perceptible
weaker and much of the time he
was IN a semi conscious condi-
tion.
Mr.. Greathead was the son of
Thomas and Frances Ii. Great
head, and was bJrn in McCon-
nellsburg, July 81, 1886. He was
married to Miss Clara M. Ster.
'rett, February 23, 1860. TO them
were born five children all of
whom are living except Edgar
Mead, who died in childhood.
Three daug hters. Carrie S., Fan
nie h., and Elsie s., are employed
as teachers, the two former in
the public schools of Johnstown,
and the latter at New Kensington,
Pa. One son Ernest d., IS en-
ployed in New York, and did not
reach home until after the death
of his father.
In 1859 he built the tannery on
Third street, and was associated
in business with his brother AL
fred for many years. On account
of failing health he was obliged
to give up business about six
years age, since then he has been
sufferer from valvular disease
of the heart, and confirmedinva-
lid. He was q member of the M.
e. church, a devoted and faithful
bus band, and a father who at all
times took much pride IN the pro.
feSslonal work and success of his
children. A fine sense of humor
allied with a great fund of lnfor-
nation made him a cheerful and
profitable companion. Our warm
est sympathy is extended to the
bereaved family. Funeral on
Wednesday afternoon at Union
cemetery.
