Limits Expenses
In Presidential
Nomination Races
Bill Prepared by Borah Sets
Sum at $4,000 in Each
State; Author Deplores
Big Funds in Campaign

From, The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Candi-
dates for the Presidential nomination
would be brought under the corrupt
practices act under the provisions of a
bill prepared by Senator Borah, Re
publican, of Idaho. Senator Borah will
introduce the bill in the Senate to-
morrow.
Publication of charges recently that
fund of approximately $1,oOO,o0o was
being expended to obtain the Republican
nomination for Major General Leonard
Wood caused Senator Borah to draft
mis- bill. Senator Borah is working in
behalf of the candidacy Of Senator
Hiram w. Johnson, Of California.
The Borah bill provides that "no can
ddate for President shall give, con-
tribute, expend, use or promise or cause
to be given, contributed, used or prom
ised, in procuring his nomination for
the Presidency, any sum in the aggre-
state" Personal and travelling ex-
penses of the candidate are not in
cluded
All expenditures by committees or
associations working for any candi-
date are included in the $4,000 limit
set by the Borah bill. The measure
provides that statements of expendi-
lures must be filed with the Attorney
General of the United States within a
period from fifteen days before the
nominating convention is held until
thirty days after the convention
Il am introducing the bill simply be-
cause of the wholesale use of money
that is being made in the Presidential
campaign this year. said Senator
Borah to-day. "The war profteers are
entering the campaigns of both parties
and are expending enormous sums.
They are getting rid of lots of their
excess profits that have been bothering
them.
II am informed that at least S1OO, 900
is being spent every day for all the
candidates that are in the field, and
Inc conventions are two months off.
The use of money is as bad in one party
as in the other, and | expect to show
within few days that more money is
being spent for some of the Democratic
candidates than for any of the Repub-
lican candidates."

Mary Garrett Hay Sees
Dark Horse at Chicago
Predicts None of Prominent As
pirants Will Get Republican
Presidential Nomination

Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman
of the executive committee of the
women's division Of the Republican
National Committed, last night risked
tho prediction that dark horse" will
win the nomination at the Republican
National Convention in June.
II believe that none or the prominent
aspirants for the Republican nomina-
tion will win it," said Miss Hay. "The
factional feeling engendered between
Wood, Lowden, Harding and Johnson
men in the Middle West is intense and
initiates against the availability Of
those whose names are most discussed
| am not for or against any of the
candidates for the nomination. / am
not speaking for the Republican Ma
tional Committee or any section Of it.,
but merely voicing my own views after
a somewhat extended investigation of
the situation. I think some dark
horse will win"

WASHINGTON, March 25.-A search
gasoline, fuel oil and other coal prod
ucts by the Federal Trade Commission,
will be authorized under resolution
to be presented to the House tomorrow

The resolution will require the Fed
eral Trade Commission to begin imme-
diately an investigation to ascertain
the causes Of the recent advances in the
price of fuel oil products and to report

line for motive power, together with
the high prices asked by the oil pro-
ducers for fuel oil sought by the United
States Shipping Board and Navy De-
partment, has prompted the contcm-
plated action by the House.

Special Dispatch to Tho Tribune


BANGOR, Me-, March 25.-Corgrcss-
man Ira G. Hersey, Of the 4th Maine
District, presiding at the Republican
State Convention here to-day, refused
to entertain motion Of Major George
G. Webber, of Auburn, that the dele
cation to the Republican National
Convention be instructed for a can6i-
date for tho Presidency, and the con-
7ention adjourned without giving in
structions to the four delegates-at-
large and the eight district delegates
who had been named to represent the
state at the Chicago convention.
1t is generally conceded that the
sentiment of Maine Republicans is for
General Leonard Wood as the candidate
for the Presidency, but Maine convcn-
tions, even in the days Of Blaine and
Reed, have not been in the habit of
instructing delegates.
Repudiate League
The resolutions adopted by the con-
vention approved the refusal of the
Senate to ratify the league Of nations
covenant and expressed readiness to
meet the issue at the polls. They op-
posed government ownership and op-
Grafton of railroads, but favored legis-
lation giving the United States a mer-
chant marine in keeping with its needs
as great world power. Participation
If women on equal terms with men
in the fall elections was indorsed.
The establishment of Federal
budget, the construction and main
tenance of national highways and the
policy of small standing army, with
trained citizen reserve, were also in

Wood Manager Pleased
With Connecticut Result
Norman ]. Gould Says Unin.
structed Delegates Will Vote
for General in Convention

Representative Norman j. Gould,
Eastern campaign manager of the Leon
ard Wood Committee. said last night
that the Wood men are satisfied with
the results both in South Dakota and
in Connecticut, as they got all that
they expected.
General Woods victory in South
Dakota was fairly won and clean cut"
said Mr.. Gould "He had no particu-
lar claim on South Dakota, except as a
national figure. His managers and the
that the South Dakota result is inn
portant as being symptomatc of Presi-
dental preferential sentiment through
out the country. That is why such a
hot fight was made for the state. The
South Dakota voters had an oppor-
tunity of seeing, meeting and hearing
all the candidates in the running for
the nomination., and the majority of
the voters preferred General Wood.
have had most depressing effect on
the managers of the other candidates.
1t is generally conceded that General
Wood made a wonderful campaign in
South Dakota, which seemed to be
overwhe lmngly for Governor Lowden
before General Wood began his recent
campaign in the state. In fact, Gen
efal "ood was regarded as bad
fourth some weeks ago and finished a
most excellent first.
General Woods campaign managers
have known all along that Connecticut
would send an uninstructed delegation
TO the Chicago convention, but they
are contident that when the delegates
from the Nutmeg State reach Chicago
they will fad General Wood the strong
est candidate and will vote for him."
The women's division of the Leonard
Wood Campaign Committee yesterday
organized a mass meeting to be held
at the Hotel Astor Wednesday, March
81, at 8:15. The speakers will be Miss
Harriet f. Vittum, Mrs. Douglas Robin

SALTS # BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for . while II your BLADDER
troubles you

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region IL gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys IN their effort to filter Il
from the blood and they become sort Of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; TO-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sourA tongue
is coated, and when the weather Is bad
you have rheumatic twinges., The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult Q good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in q glass of water
before breakfast for q few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 80 IL
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is Q life saver for regular
meat eaters. IL ia inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes . delightful, efer'
vescent lithia-water drink.

FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at day pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful Of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.

cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.

cold from the system.
Try IL the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It Is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
