CLERK AS REQUIRED
By LAW.
ROBINSON WAS RECKLESS"
Successful Candidate For County
Clerk Holds Lead; Squandered
$155 in Chase; Some Manage ii
Without Earring Loose Single
Coin; Committees Spend Cash.

1t cost the office seekers of Polk

campaigns according to state
ments of expenditures nled with
County Clerk e. M Smith, the time
limit of which expired on Wednesday,
November 20. Is days after the cleo
tion. OF these, Asa B. Robinson
successful Democratic candidate for
county clerk, came through with the
largest wad of simoleons, it costing
him $155.78 to make his race. John
Teal, successful Republican candi-
date for county Judge, expended $9E
in round numbers, but there are sew
eral of the patriots who succeeded
in wiggling through without blowing
in cent of their hard-earned du-
cats on the dear people.
Committees Spend Money.
Three county central committees
spent $349.50 in helping their candi-
dates and of these the Prohibition
committee expended the most and
received the least for their money.
But, with them it's a principle" Sc
they are probably satisfied. The
water wagon cohorts spent $1S525;
the Democratic committee $12415
and the Republican committee $3925.
The former didn't elect a man. the
Democrats landed seven candidates
and the latter four. 1t cost the Dem
cratic committee a trifie more than
$17.73 per man to elect its seven.
while the Republican organization
puts it's four men over at an expense
per man of $9.98.
Advertising Biggest Expense.
The itemized expense of the diff
ferent candidates show that the
greatest expenditure was for adver-
tising and printing. Railroad fare,
photographs, cuts, hotel bills, livery
hire and postage are important items
in some of the estimates. 1t is even
hinted that some of the candidates
