Maryland Election
Row Seen as Clash
OF Views on Law
Radcliffe Manager Replies
To Tobey's Charge Of
Excess Expenditures

Conflicting interpretations Of the
Maryland Corrupt Practices Act
seemed today to be underlying a
controversy over whether Senator
Radcliffe Maryland Democrat, won
his seat legally in last years elec-
tionS.
Claiming that the Maryland Law
specified that no more than SO 900
may be spent for a candidate in Q
senatorial primary. Senator Tobey,
Republican. Of New Hampshire yes
terday cited reported disbursements
by one candidate of S8229365, plus
unpaid bills of s23,O32.64 and ex-
penditures of $1,000 on the candi-
dates behalf by other agencies.
The treasurer for another candi-
date, Senator Tobey said, reported
disbursements of $3.50 while the
treasurer Of the Campaign Com
mittee for the same candidate re-
ported disbursements of $50, ,4o9.S3
and unpaid bills of S5,33lo6.
100000 Outlay Claimed.
AND so. he declared the fact
is that more than 5000 900 was
spent in the campaigns of these two
senatorial candidates for the noni-
nation only. one of whom was elect
ed and seated in the United States
Senate"
Senator Radcliffe defeated Howard
Bruce in the Democratic primary
and then defeated former Gov. Nice
in November,
From Baltimore. the Associated
Press quoted Edward j. Colgan, jr,
manager OF the Radcliffe campaign,
as follows:
Evidently Senator Tobey is labor
ing under a miSapprehension Of the
Maryland law governing expend-
itures by candidate for the United
States Senate in a primary contest.
Says Law Was Observed
II am confident that the law was
scrupulously observed by Senator
Radcliffe in his primary campaign,
I have no further comment TO make
until I have seen the text of the
report made by Senator Tobey"
The Maryland Corrupt Practices
Act, the Associated Press continued,
limits to $4,000 the amount a can
didate himself NAV spend in his own
behalf in campaign. There is no
limit. however, 70 the amount Of
contributions others may make
toward his campaign for expenditure
by his political agents
Senator Tobey made his charge in
supplemental report designed for
inclusion with the report of the

ScuttSS LdHlItpncus
Criticizing what he called the in
creasing and multiplying series Of
emergencies, Senator Bulow made
this comment on the last election:
Last summer there was an emer-
gency in Europe so great that We
would not let our President get
more than II hours away from the
White House and would not let him
stay away from home overnight for
fear We would lose control of the
European emergency, but later in
the fall after the harvest was gar
nered and the votes were counted,
when the European emergency was
greater than it ever was-we per-
mitted our President to sail the
seven seas two weeks, where none
of us knew where he was.
I'VE discovered the emergency
went on about the same as it would
have gone had our President kept a
daily and nightly vigil at the
White House The smoke went up
the chimney just the same. Maybe
these emergencies would settle
themselves If we paid no further
attention to them and quit trying
to Ak them so much.
Brooks Offers Suggestion.
Senator Brooks said in his speech:
ITO say that Congress reserves the
right to declare war and appropriate
the money is of little consolation,
for once We start helping the ma
tions of the earth under this act
We will soon become so involved that
there would be no turning back and
once you authorize the Chief EXeCu-
tive, under his sole discretion, to
lease, lend or give away parts of
our Navy and defense articles, and
he asks for further money in the
name of so-Called national defense,
man who declines to give it would
probably be burned in eff1gy,
The argument that Hitler may
get the British Navy if he mvades
England was belttled by Senator
Brooks as a reflection on the cour-
age of Britain's sailors,
Il would help England" he said,
'if she would help herself and prove
that she is interested in our future
by turning over to us these islands
and securities lin this hemiSphere)
to hold until the end of the war,
so that if she does fall, we then
move in our own right, not as an
aggreSSor, but as a defender of our
own property and our own liberty
Sees Involvement Certain.
After telling of his own experience
as a soldier in the last war, and de-
ploring the trend of events in Eu-
rope after 1t was over. Senator
Brooks said he has no disillusion-
ment anymore about the glamour
or romance of war.
The glamour of war" he said,
"is for the lady radio speakers and
their men counterpart, who wage it
on radio talks and at dinner par
ties"
When you men vote this power
to one man" he continued, II pre-
dict today that it will-Sooner than
we expect-involve us in active, per-
sonal. fighting participation in war,
and you cannot shirk your response
bility by turning over this authority
to any other one man. The blood of
American boys will be on your hands

stances rents had shot up 200 per
cent and that workmen paid $50 a
month for half a double bed AS a
