ELECTION BILL SAILS ON.
Reed Measure Will Probably Pass in
Senate.

Senator ]. T. Reeds bill limiting
the campaign expense of candidates
for county or state Office, was called
this afternoon in the committee of the
whole. Reeds bill has had long
trip through the committees and was
recommended for passage with several
amendments attached. The document
limits the expense of a candidate to 10
per cent of first years salary for the
office he seeks. A candidate is also
prohibited from promising favors or
future reward and divides the cam
paign expense at per cent of the
total first years salary to be used dur
ing the campaign and per cent of the
salary to be expended in the cam
paign preceding the November cleo
ton. Publishers and agents are pro-
hibited from soliciting campaign adj
vertising and violations of the act are
deemed a misdemeanor. The bill was
recommended for passage subject to
amendment and debate. Very little
attention was paid to the bill and it is
believed the measure will go through
the senate on third reading without
serious opposition.
Senator Myers bill drawn along the
same lines as the Reed measure was
also placed on the calendar for con-
sideration this afternoon. Both bills
were reported for passage.
AT 3 o'clock the David Leahy hear
ing was called as a special order for
the afternoons program.
