A candidate for office may spend
$500 and report It. This 10 sufficient
1t makes no difference to the law II the

But even the money a candidate
himself must put UP is severe drain
upon his resources. Mr.. Allen Is

ing. however, had only been out Of
law school one year when he went into
politics, and his salary as legislator and
| lieutenant governor would not com7
pensate for the loss OF time to even a
moderate law practice. His statement
that he put about 5000 of his own
money into the campaign means that
he used up all his savings. He has q

years salary As governor.
Only great sense of devotion to
the people can compensate man !. for
strapping himself to win nomina-

be either man of wealth or of intense
zeal for the cause of good government.
1t would be easier to judge those
who do not pay their own expenses
II some kind of an accounting could
be had from the friends who spend
money without turning it over to the
candidate.
COMBINING GOLF AND FISH LIES.

DR.. q. ]. Schultz was on the green's
at the Country club Monday afternoon
playing wonderful game Of golf.
Thereby hangs a tale Of coincidence
and good fortune rarely equalled in in
terest.
Like 50 many other golf enthusi-
asts DR. Schultz is possessed Of fad
that amounts to superstition. One Of
his most priced possessions is a golf
ball which means much to his game.
Having marked 1t for purposes of
Identification with his initials cut in
peculiar manner, DR.. Schultz used
his favorite bail on all special occa-
sions. That 10 lie did until about three
weeks ago, since which time. until
last Monday he has not zen on the
greens
One day late last month the doctor
while on the links lifted a long drive
down the shore Of the lake. Unfortu-
nately a strong gust Of wind caught
the ball and carried it out so that it
fell into the water.
After that there was no luck for

approach shots were unspeakable and
at putting he would have been beaten
by a blind man.
That is why he quit gclf He was so
immersed in gloom that thru sympathy
his patients forgot their own suffer-
ings.
And so things went until last Sat-
urday night Then hoping to forget
his troubles Dr. Schultz baited
couple Of hooks and went out onto the
lake after Ash His luck was almost
negligible until near midnight when
he had strike that returned joy into
his life.
After an unexpected struggle he
hauled into the boat the largest cat.
