La Roche, holding that candidates did
not have to obey the corrupt practices

apprehension as to the treasurers.

dates who spent sums in excess of ISO
for or against any candidate or
measure.
""The treasurers of political clubs,
and persons who spent more than $60
for or against any candidate or for
or against any measure come under
the law and will have to file their
statements." Mr. Barbur said this
morning.
"I. have been laboring under a mis
apprehension as to them, caused by
City Attorney La Roche's opinion

will also accept the expense lists of
all candidates at the recent election
who may desire to file them, though
under the city attorney's opinion these
are not necessary. He is the legal ad'
viser of the city officials, and In legal
matters we are bound to follow his ad
vice. I have no funds to go outside
for such adviceftnd unless his ruling
should be questioned in some way I
will have to follow 1L"
Daly Tiles Xxpenss Aooount
In the meantime Will H. Daly has
filed a statement of his expenses in
curred as a candidate for mayor, and
Commissioner Elect Dan Kellaher will
have filed his as soon as his secretary
returns from the coast, where he has
gone for a short visit.
"I always thought that the state
ment should be filed," Mr. Kellaher
said this morning, "and spoke to Mr.
Mcintosh, my secretary, about it. As I
remember, he took the question up with
Mr. Barbur, who advised him that It
was not required under the ruling of
toe city attorney, i paia no more at'
tention to it, but as soon as he returns
I will see that the statement is filed,
as It should be."
A new, and unfavorable, light has
been thrown upon the opinion of City
Attorney La Roche by the statements
of different members of the 1913 leg
lslature who voted for the amendment
governing the filing of candidates'
statements.
Zdght Bhed on Amendment
The amendment was introduced
House Dili 494 by the committee on
elections. Its purpose was to clear up
an ambiguity as to tho place where
candidates for district offices, such as
joint senator or representative, should
file their statements. There was no
intent to interfere with the require
ment that municipal candidates should
file statements. The language of the
amendment, . skinned . of excess verbi-
age.ciearly shows this intent. ' i
ays: , .
Everv candidate tor nomination or
lection to- the office of delegate to
party national convention
representative in the legislature, or
other office to be voted for in the
state at large or in a district composed
of one or more counties, shall file with
the secretary of state, within 15 days
after the election at which he was a
candidate, but with the county eleM
for county and district or precinct of
fices within the county, and with the
town clerk, auditor or recorder of the
city or town in whloh he resides, if
he was a candidate for a town, city
r ward office. - an itemized sworn
statement
City Candidates Hot Exempt
Pew attorneys, other than City At
torney La Roche can read into that
language any exemption of candidates
for municipal office from the require
ment of filing election expense state
ments.

member of it, to exempt municipal of
ficers from the operation of the cor
rupt practices act." said Clarence I
Keames. United States attorney, and
a member of the 191S legislature who
voted for the amendment. "A bill con
tainlng such an Intendment would
never have passed either house. I do
not remember the full circumstances
surrounding the Introduction and pass
age of the bill, but it was to correct
soma ambiguity of procedure, rather
than to change the substance of the
law."
It comes back to me that the amend
ment was intended to provide some
one definite place for expense lists to
be filed by district officials, not to
change the terms of the law in any
substantive particular." is the testi
mony of Senator Conrad P. Olson, who
also voted for the bin in the 1913
senate.
The same thing is said by Claud C.
McColloch, who was a member of the
senate, and John R. Latourette, who

Judge Seawell then said that court
