known as u matter Of local history
in Waltham that in revolutionary

Old-tlme residents of Waltham say
stories were told them of how the

by the quick wit of the Americans,
who. realizing the objective OF the
enemy, dumped hundreds or the

fresh in the memory OF many
Waltham residents who, as children,

CAREFUL OF EXPENSES
This Campaign VIII Feature Avoid
ancc OF Lavish Expenditure
In Politics.

CHICAGO. Aug. 14.-Presidentia
campaigns this year are going to be
run on a thrift basis. in tho opinion
OF several members OF the senate
committee which has been investi-
eating pre-convcntion expenditures
of the various candidates who sought
nomination by one or the other OF
the major parties.
Senators Kenyon, republican, OF
Iowa, Reed, democrat, OF Missouri,
and Spencer republican. of Missouri,
all declare that campaigns this year
will be conducted with more care
and consideration for the financial
end than ever before.
The chairman OF the senate in
vestigating committee. Mr. Kenyon.
said the pre-convention disclosures
made through the committee, and
the fact that Il was instructed by
congress also to investigate presi-
dental campaigns, will make the
political managers careful of their
expenditures and no disbursement
which might cause unfavorable conf
ment, oven from opponents. will be
made.
Il don't mean to say that any
one Is afraid OF the committee" said
Senator Kenyon, but the politicians
realize that their expenditures are
going to be scrutinized carefully and
consequently they are going to cut
out many of the usual items"
Senator Reed said economy would
be forced on the political directors
because they would not have so
many large subscriptions as hereto
fore.
Rig business doesn't like TO be
publicly mixed in politics and many
OF the customary large subscriptions
will be cut down" he added.
Senator Spencer also expressed be-
lief that there would be consider
able thrift in the campaigns, but
declared II would never go so far
"as to eliminate the usual trumpet
blare"
There is no question, however,
that the campaigns this year are
going to be handled on a very care
ful financial basis" he said.
