HARDING EXPECTS ID SPEND S75,OOO
 IN HIS CAMP PA|GN
Says Rumors of Excessive Expenditures By Other Candidates Appear We'll
 Founded
By Associated Press

Washington, April 15.-The Plumb Plan League made public tonight letter from Senator Harding of Ohio answering aues- tions propounded by the league as to how his campaign for the republican presi- dential nomination was being financed and as to his attitude toward compell- ing publication of campaign expendi- lures.
 As to rumors of large expenditures. Senator Harding said he could say noth- ing "dependably" as to other presidential candidates, and added:
 If I may judge from the nature of widespread organization in my own state of Ohio, I would say that the rumors of excessive expenditure are not without foundation. 1 think myself it is a very great misfortune that we have drifted into a political system which makes it possible to pursue such preconvention program.
 The. senator said that in fairness to those charged with abnormal expendi- tures, he was impelied to say that he knew of nothing such as we ordinarily denominate corrupt" about them.
 Of his own campaign he said:
 "I do not know precisely how much has been expended to date. but at tho last conference l held with my man. agers we contemplated an expenditure ap. $75,000 I do not personally know of single contribution to this fund in excess of $l,00O, except that sub scribed by my brother-in-law, who was good enough to send in a check for g, GOO I do not believe we have single corporate subscription from any source. Thirty thousand dollars of the fund ai- ready raised was subscribed by my friends and neighbors in my home city of Marion. Ohio. I am expecting to make a contribution of 5000 myself
 Tt is possible that our expenditures will fall short of the sum above named, and l could not be sure, on the other hand, that the ultimate expenditure may not somewhat exceed this maximum which I have ventured to quote. I am in touch with those who are the campaifVn, but I feel sure that our expenditure IS going to be an exceedingly limited one as compared 10 those made by other candidates. I can be very certain of one thing: Our organi- zation will not only be agreeable to making sworn statement of expendi- tures, but will be glad to have any be- coming agency audit our account and know precisely what we have done in that direction
