LIST OF CANDIDATES.
Cor7upt Practices Association Has
All Nominees Under It's Eye.

To facilitate its work in making detailed ex-
animation of all election expense Statements iiie
by political candidates and committees IN the re-
cent election. the Association TO Prevent Corrupt
Practices at Elections has compiled a compete iS'
Of ell the candidates in all the parties This is the
first time list of this kind has ever been compiled
in this state.
This association. Of which ex-Mayor Seth 10" Is
president and Allan Robinson secretary Is en're'y
non-partisan having OF prominence in hoth OF
the leading parties on its directorate The an
nounced objects of the present examination are:
Ffrst-To ascertain whether any judicial proceed

The present Corrupt Practices law is the result
Of agitation by this association which proved in the
that the old law was worthless to accom-
plish the purposes for which IT was passed Ihis Is

association intends to exercise the closest scrutiny
Of such items expenditures for workers. can

their utmost that the act is lived up TO IN
letter well spirit.
II is evident from the statements not received
this year that all candidates do not understand
that fling stateglent under the Penal Code does
relieve them of the responsibility Of fling one
under the election law as we'll The association
has picked out a number Of cases for investigation
because of the lack Of Illuminating detail
For instance. out Of total expenditure Of 2,04o
by the Democratic County Committee, in Cattarau-
gus II was declared that some 81 80 was spent for
hiring teams Election Day and expenses of meet
fngs." The Republican County Committee in Mont
gomery County rendered statement consisting OF
just four items: Money received" money paid
bills unpaid, balance on hand" The Oneida Re
publican Committee gives a number Of items unoer
the head OF Legitimate election expenditures
The association takes the stand that such ex-
penditures may be and probably are all right, but
they believe that the requirements Of the law are
for more Illuminating classification The Che
mango County Democratic Committee accounted
for 81 800 in twenty-five of from S25 TO $50 TO

taken on the grounds that the board
is combine formed for the Illegal
purpose Of regulating prices ana CON

ing hundred per cent. in some in
stances. No formal action has as vet
been taken. but Wheeling business
men have been Informally discussing

the sum of 500 to fund whose pur-
pose should be to fight and dissolve

through direct appeal to the conrts
It is understood that the move
ment has already progressed to the
point where an attorney has been

ion that an excellent case could be
made against the board and cited a
recent supreme court decision in the
case Of two coal companies in the
Pocahontas field, who formed a COM
bination for the arbitrary advance Of
the price in coal for the consumer.
The court ruled that they were not
only subject to Injunction proceed

ever stopped or attempted to pick
anything up, the pains would always
be aggravated. / saw Doan's Kidney
