Long Conferrm lYwrren.
The bill probably win be th subject
of prolonged conference between tha
two houses. It originated In th
House as a part of the Democratic leg
lalallve programme and was designed
to require the publication of expendi
tures before election, which la not re
quired bv the existing publicity law.
The Republicans In the House un
successfully attempted to extend th
bill to cover primary election ex
pensea. In the Senate the primary
lection amendment, coupled with more
radical amendments, were adopted with
little opposition.
Primary Kloctlons Affected.
The Senate amendment, authorised
br the committee on privileges and
elections, reuulred publicity of all pri
mary election expenses and all pledges

not within the control of Congress. Tha
ajneodment was finally adopted, how
