Milwaukee Journal: There is need
for limiting the expenditure of candi-
dates for office. Down in Georgia Hoke
Smith spent ST., 500 to get the nomina-
ton for governor, while the total salary
of the office amounts only 10 Sc, 900.
Of course, it isn't money that Hoke is
after. The honor of being governor of
state is considerable, but why place a
cash value on it? If it is to be made a
prize for candidates with money to
spend, why not put it up to the highest
bidder and turn the money into the
treasury
