PORTLAND, 'OREGON J " 1 18 WEDNESDAY, MARCH, 6, 1918. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL CANDIDATES FOR - v. A -v- at OFFICE SEEM TO DISREGARD LAW Judging by Expenditures of Some Candicfates Corrupt Practices ; Act Seems Dead Letter. RURAL PRESS WIDELY USED Cus Moser and R. N. Stanfield -Are Prosecuting Extensive , Publicity Campaign. Already, with the date of the primary lection more than two months distant, tt. again begins to look as though the tArruBt practices act is a dead letter so far as the expenditure of money by candidates for campaign expanses Is concerned. . - Under the limitations of the corrupt practices act a candidate for nomination to any office may lawfully spend not to exceed 15 per cent of one year's salary attached to the office to which he aspires. The annual salary of the governor is $5000, and the amount that may be spent by any candidate for that office to advance his nomination is $750. It Is noticeable, however, that Gus Moser, a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, is being boosted by paid advertisements in the country papers throughout the state, the publication cost of which, at the normal rates usually charged political candidates, would total far in excess of the $750 permitted by, the statute. This, how ever, does not take into consideration any traveling expenses, other printing, stationery and postage, expenses or inci dental expenditures which must always be considered. The question, of course, arises whether the candidate himself is paying all these campaign expenses, or whether they are borne, In whole or in part, by others. The same situation Is apparent in the candidacy of R. N. Stanfield for the Republican nomination for United States senator, though on a more extended scale. Cosstry Frets Being Largely Used Mr. Stanfield is conducting an exten sive, and expensive, mail campaign, sending, printed matter, at more or less regular Intervals, to practically every registered Republican voter in the state. The postage charge on. this item alone la very material, while the cost of print ing; and paper, under present conditions and prices, undoubtedly amounts to a goodly sum with each batch of circulars sent out i a ..; -rf-'r-T ' ' In Mr. Stanfield'a case, too. as in the other the country press la being: largely used, but Mr. Stanfield does not look with favor upon reading matter run, as the law requires, with the notice at tached that it Is advertising matter. He la willing to pay the rates charged, provided the notice required by the cor rupt practices act is omitted. Says "Paid Adv."' Spoils Tales "I fully appreciate the position In which you and all newspapers may be placed through the Importuning of can didates for free publicity." Mr, Stanfield states in a recent , letter written to the editor of a state paper. "For myself," he' continues, "I do not ask any4 free publicity but, as you know, any and all reading matter such as the - platform which I send you which has the appear ance - of news and to which Is tacked the words 'paid adv.' when printed is of no value whatever to the candidate. "In fact, these two little words rob it of all its value and rather tend to give it an adverse value. , Many publish ers refuse to print news of that charac ter for which they ought to receive pay unless they are allowed - to stick 1 these two little words at the bottom of it. Explains Hit Ttew of Matter, "I will tell you Just how I feel about it. I am perfectly willing to pay for it if those two words are not inserted at the -bottom. I am confident the law dftl not contemplate anything of this kind. As you will notice, I hava already forwarded- you an -advertisement to be run as such, - It la my intention, as you know, to make good use of the advertis ing columns of the paper. I believe you can readily, understand my position from the above statement. For any publicity or advertising you give me, bill will be paid promptly, on receipt." , Mr. Stanfield, under the corrupt prac tices, act, may lawfully spend $1125 In campaign ; expenditures to secure the senatorial nomination. This amount must Include all expenditures of every kindr except the cost of printing" to be paid the state for any material fur nished by him for 'publication In the voters pamphlet. At the present appar ent rate of disbursements this sum, if not already exceeded, will be far over matched by the time the primary elec tion day la reached. Hindenburg Drinks Heavily , Says Woman New York. March 6. (U. P.) Field Marshal von Hindenburg drinks beer, wine and whiskey "until he is purple In the face." Mme.
