Senate Campaign
BY POLITICS PETE


The supporters OF Howard
Bruce. Democratic aspirant for
his party's nomination to the
United States Senate have opened
headquarters on Baltimore Street.
They are lining UP Democrats for
endorsements of the Baltimore
banker. By the same token. the
young Turks" insurgent left
wingers. or anti-Walsh group
among the Denis. who want to
see George l.. Radcliffe returned
to his Senatorial seat. will open
an Office on the main stem.
Now the question arises. why
does Mr.. Bruce want to 90 to the
U. S. Senate? Who would not join
that sacred band OF ninety-six in
the upper house? But why should
Mr.. Bruce spend so much money
to try and win the nomination?
It's simple matter OF arithmetic.
In the Senate. Mr.. Bruce will
draw down 100000 during his six
years term. Now, II Mr.. Bruce's
campaign expenses exceed that
amount 1t Is reasonable TO ask
why such a hard headed banker
as Mr.. Bruce is willing TO spend
more than he can earn in order TO
sit in the United States Senate???
Senator Radcliffe also is a
banker "a smaller banker than
Mr.. Bruce. 1t is doubtful II he
will be able to spend quarter
OF the amount Bruce is pouring
out. In spite Of this the under
current OF belief is that Radcliffe
is as good as renominated.
Expense Accounts
Joe Miller wrote q famous joke
book O long. long time ago. Trav-
cling statesmen for many years
have been filing expense accounts
with their employers which the
Joe Miller book so often termed
"swindle sheets" The expense
accounts were paid by the firms to
their statesmen and representatives.
and the Jest has been that these
accounts were often padded to
include items which were never
incurred. Thus. the poor sales
men were able TO make a little "on

MayOral Account
Talking about candidates ac-
counts I was comparing the state
ment filed by Mayor Irvine with
the one filed by Mayor Koon two
years ago.
The similarity is remarkable !
For example. Mayor Irvine spent
the total OF S2,344.24 to be elected
to the job which pays him 81 300
a year while two years ago DR..
Koon filed q return showing an
expenditure OF s2.377.00 Which
shows just a difference of s33 be-
tween the two campaigns.
Contributors
Comparison Of the contributions
received by Irvine and Koon show
some differences. Although Tax
Collector Conway came through
with $3.50 to Irvine. just as he did
to Koon. Republic Steel attorney
Heskett became positively stingy.
To Rooms campaign Heskett was
listed as contributing $4,000. but
the gentlemen must have been
bitten with the economy bug this
time because he is listed as giving
only 5000 to the Irvine campaign
fund.
The Irvine report lists si,l55.00
from Friends" but check OF the
local directory fails to show a
name listed!
Engineering Dept.
Still another contribution Is
listed as Engineering Department
sl45.O0." but many people believe
that this means the sum did not
come from Engineering Depart
ment funds. but represents con-
tributions from workers in the
engineering department.
What / still cannot get into my
head is why s2.344.24 is spent in
the interests OF obtaining a job
which pays s3.600.00 for the two
years term OF Office. Can any Of
my readers enlighten me on this
score?
