FILE ELECTION EXPENSE
Attorney General Hilton Files An I'm
portant Decision.


portant Decision.
Following the United States SUI
preme court decision in tne Newberry
case, Attorney General Clifford l..
Hilton today modified previous inter-
pretations of the Minnesota election
law, and notified Secretary of State
Mike Holm that candidates for repre-
sentatives and senators in congress
must file detailed statements of their
receipts and disbursements, as other
candidates for office are required to
do under the corrupt p-actises law of
the state.
There is no provision in the state
law limiting the expenses of the can
didates for congress, but the supreme
court decision held that 1t is within
the power of states to regulate ex-
penditures of such candidates, and
that It is not federal matter.
The federal law limits expenses of
an individual candidate to $500,
while the state law allows candi-
date for state senator to spend $500.
The ruling, explained today by Rollin
Il Smith. assistant Attorney general,
requires pabiicity for the ex
penditure6 of congressional candi-
dafes.

MANY new CASES
GIVEN TO BUREAU
Veterans Board Has More
On Its List
APPEAL FROM FRIENDS
How Applications For Relief
Are Made To The Fed
eral Officials

Since the Inauguration of the cam
'paign by representatives OF the Vet
ehans' Bureau to get in contact with
all former service men and women
who are suffering with some disabili-
ty incurred in, or aggravated by their
connection with the service approx
mately six thousand new cases have
been filed by residents of the states
of Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota and Montana
Three years have passed since the
signing OF the Armistice, and the i'm
preston exists in some quarters that
the class of men making claims
against the government at this time
are those who haye heard from others
of the work. that, the government is
doing in the way of rehabilitation, but
who have no just claim for consider
alton.
A majority of the claims now be-
ing filed with the bureau are worthy
or consideration. The men who are
now asking for vocational training
have hung back. either because OF
their modesty or because they felt
that to ask for anything might be
construed as making themselves OBJ
jects OF charity. Most OF these men
were actually in the front line tren-
ches in France where they were gas
sed. received gun shot wounds, were
shell shocked, or had influenza; and
since their return home, although
destitute, broken in health and un-
able to work, have been struggling in
an effort to exist. without making an
appeal to the government.
The only way that the Veterans
Bureau is appraised of large MAORI
ty Of these cases, is because of the
interest displayed by friends appeal
ing in behalf of individuals of their
acquaintance.
Case of Casing
A recent case brought to the at
tention of the bureau was that for
Imer service man-who was gassed ana
shell shocked in the Argonne. This
man was brought in by a friend, CIV
en- a physical examination which re-
Ivealed that he was suffering from
mental trouble developing because OF
his connection with the service. This
case was rated and compensation and
vocational training allowed, in less
than a month afte rthe cla<..i had been
filed, and the man is now receiving
Another typical case was that OF
a veteran who was employed as a
telegraph operator by railroad com
'pany. While with the American Ex-
Ipeditionary Forces in France, he was
gassed and his eyes were affected as
a result. Because of his condition it
was impossible for him to do efficient
work, and it was only because of the
kindness of his employers and their
realization, of the fact that he had a
wife and two children dependent upon
him for support that he was kept. His
case was finally brought to the at
tention of representatives of the Blu
reau, and he is now receiving com
pensation and vocational training.
The number of cases filed, in which
there is an apparent desire upon the
part of the claimant, to get something
that he is not entitled to, ares few ana
far between. AS general rule, the
former service man is as loyal to his
government now as he was during
the war, and only wants what he is
entitled to-
