Belfast, Oct Hon, II. C. Buzz
zeil, third in the field to announce
ms candidacy nomination for the
u. ;. Senatorship, has this to say
with special reference to candidates
campaign expenditures:
1t was only one week from the
time I announced my candidacy for
the United States Senatorial nom
NATION to Sept. 80, when 1t was re-
quired by law to have primary
papers containing not less than 1888
and not more than 5077 names filed
with the Secretary of State. In that
short time more than eleven thou
sand voters signed papers for my
nomination and l wish to take this
opportunity to thank my many
friends and the interested voters of
the State for the whole hearted ef-
forts made in my behalf.
Time and expense have not per-
mitted me to correspond with or call
many of my friends on the telephone
for the purpose of talking over the
political situation. feel greatly sur
prised and highly gratified over the
number of petitions received and the
eleven thousand names of voters
secured in so short time.
NStIiL 10 Stdlc III WORDS 100 pain
to be misinterpreted that at the
time I announced my candidacy
felt there was real demand on the
part OF a great many voters for
another candidate From the many
letters offering support that am re-
ceiving from all sections Of the State,

cial message that will appeal TO all
citizens of the State. which I will
place before the voters in due time.
/ did not enter the field in order to
injure or increase the chance of any
other candidate for the nomination.
They are all men of whom the State
may well be proud. Until. the cit
liens of Maine declare by their votes
on Primary Day whom they wish to
represent them, l shall continue a
candidate.
In the last few months We have
learned with increasing disgust and
growing apprehension of the expen-
ditures of enormous sums of money
to secure nominations. ] know that
the Maine electorate can not be de-
bauched in such manner and
family of four growing boys will not
permit me to indulge in any orgy
of spending. Lack of funds no less
than of a statewide mailing forbid
my circularizing the entire State.
The State Primary very wisely pro-
vides for the publicity Of expenses
of candidates. but that information is
given at the close of the canvass. too
late to be of interest to the voters.
II is my intention to publish each
week what l know has been expended
in my behalf Ny first weeks ex-
penditure was $500. / shall begin
speaking campaign on October IA
and shall keep it up until the day of
the primary election and / am sure
that on that day the great mass of
the Republicans OF Maine will indorse
my position by their votes.
Yours sincerely,
