ASHURST CAMPAIGN. EXPENSE sl7.00, HIS. STATEMENT SHOWS

WASHINGTON, Nov. While less than one-half of the candidates for the senate have filed campaign expense statements, according to the count made today by clerks, candi- dates for the house are still sending their. reports at the rate of almost 200 a day. In the midst of the con- fusion as to provisions of the law, the one fact that stands out clearly is that house candidates must file before and after the election.
 The view was expressed by some senate officials that many candi- dates for that branch might accept the interpretation of the supreme court decision in the Newberry case by Attorney General Daugherty that they were not required to file. In a letter last year to Representative Luce, Republican of Massachusetts, specific inquiry as to the effect of the Newberry decision said:
 "As United States senators are not now elected by legislatures of the states, as contemplated in the act, It is my opinion that this fact in con- nection with the holding the New 
 for candidate for United States sen ator to file any statement whatever in connection with his nomination or election"
 MT. Daogherty contended that the only provision of the election law now in force and effect is the one which requires such statements to be filed in connection with the election of candidates for tha bnuSp
 Most of the reports on file with the senate have not been brought up to date, many relating to pri- mary expenses. Senator France, Re publican of Maryland, reported that in his primary fight his expenditures were S30,795, with contributions of $31 900. Royal w. France, his bro- ther, headed the list of contributors with $15,000.
 Senator Townsend. Republican of Michigan reported that his election expenses were $700. After the pri- mary Senator Townsend filed a re- port showing the expenditure of $30,729 for his nomination fight by The Townsend for Senator club
 Senator Ashurst, Democrat of Ari- zona, received contribution of $10o from the Brotherhood of Locomotiv e Bremen. He spent $17.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts spent $3,S70, all of which went to Republican clubs in his state, while William A. Gaston, his Democratic opponent, spent $1,216 in the primary and 4,113 in the general election fight.
 Some of the other reports show:
 Lynn J. Frazier, North Dakota, (primary), $349; Senator King, Utah, on September 19 contributions $1,679, expenditures same; Senator Hitch cock, Nebraska, $5,412; Carl w. Rid dick, Republican, Montana, $510; Earle B. Mayfield, Texas, $15,50.
 Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, got s6,41S and spent $5,974, while Senator Kendrick reported the ex- penditure of $1,41S in Wyoming.
