ton, that ever spent any ways near
what the primary is costing. The
greatest item of expense, in the pri-
mary, is for newspaper advertising.
ne candidates are using this method
OF appealing TO the voter, more than
ever before.
Because of the lack OF contest, the
Democratic candidates for the higher
offices have not been called to spend
large amounts. The Progressive can
dldates are spending practically moth
ing. 1t is the Republicans who are
making the strenuous campaign.
Republican candidates for United
States senator and governor, and
there are three each for these tive
offices, are making their great appeal
to the voters by displaying their pho
tographs, with reading matter in the
newspapers. The increase in the use of
this sort of advertising has been
marked. Most Of the advertisements
are two columns wide and ten inches
long. There are about 100 regular Re
publican newspapers in the state and
about forty others carrying this adj
Vertlslng. One insertion of the usual
20 inch adj. in the 200 papers costs
$1,000 at q conservative estimate Re
publican candidates for senator and
governor have had such advertise
ments III this string of newspapers
anywhere from three to dozen times
This repetition, is explained by the
rect that some of the men began their
active campaign last August while
others began theirs later.
Campaign buttons, stickers. cards.
posters, street car adds and pennants
have been distributed with lavish
hand.
Next 20 the advertising, the next
item OF expense probably, is FOR trans
portation and hotel bills of the candi-
dates and their managers. The motor
car has played great part in the
primary. With the use of this means
of transportation, candidate is able
to make several meetings a day. All
the candidates for senator and COVER
nor, claim they have visited every
county in the state at least once, and
1t IS understood that one of the sena-
toria1 candidates is making his third
trip to ever county in the state
Postage has been big item of ex-
pense. 1t is estimated that each can
dldate has sent out from 100000 to
100000 pieces of mail and most of
this has gone :" first class. - The
printing of circulars has also cost a
lot Of money.
Not the least of the candidates ex-
penses has been the maintenance of
headquarters consisting of large suites
Of rooms in down town hotels or Office
buildings in Indianapolis. Some of the
candidates have even maintained head
quarters, recently, in the larger
cities of the state, outside of the cap,
ital. This has meant the employment
of clerks, stenographers, and mes
sengers, all of which have cost con
siderable. Telephone and telegraph
tolls viii run into hundreds of dollars.
Various estimates have been made
as to the amount the different candi-
dates will spend. Some are speeulatino
that two of the most active candidates
for governor and two for senator will
have expended close on to 5000, 900 At
the close Of primary day. They figure
that it will cost one approximately
$4,000. The expenses will not eea So
until the polls are closed as some of
the candidates, it is declared will have

INDIANAPOLIS, March That
the state wide primary, to be held in
indiana March 18th is going to be an
expensive proposition both TO tax
payers and candidates fer Office is the
opinion of political leaders Of all
parties. There is much speculation as
to what it will cost the state and thesa
estimates vary, but no estimate has
been lower than an average of $4,000
a county. The lowest estimate. there
fore, is 100000 for the 80 counties
Of the state. Some politicians think
the cost will run to 100000.
Marion county, in which Indianapo-
lis IS situated, has already appropri-
ated $4,000 to pay the expenses of
the primary. Some county officials saw
this will not be enough. Some of the
smaller counties may not have to
spend, 1t is estimated, more than So
600. But the larger counties like Lake
st. Joseph, Allen, and Vanderburg
and perhaps a few others will, it is
believed, have to pay out $4,000 or
more. Until all the printing bills are
IN, however, it viii not be possible to
any certain degree of accuracy.
That the primary is hitting the
candidates, there is no question.
Practically all of the political leaders
say that there was never any candi-

office, to be nominated at a conven-
