moans represent tho entire amount
of monoy expended in the campaign,'
it1 was stated in Sonator Kenyon'B
report. ''The funds collected, of course
Wero not used exclusively in . the
presidential campaign. They wore
usod likewise in the election of
sonafors and congressmen and state
officials.' "
: This disbursements of the Repub

time of the Chicago convention, un
til tin close of the campaign,, were
givon as $5,319,729.31; those of the
Democratic national committee $1,
318,274.02. Tho Republican congressional com
mittee was credited with an expendi
ture, $359,959.05; the Democratic
congressional committee, $24,498.05;
the Republican Boenatorlal commit
tee $320,980.29; the Democratic
senatorial committee, $6,675.
IJ. was stated there was also a
loan of $306,233.50 to the Republi
can congressional committee a major
portion of which was paid back, and
another loan of $100,000 to the Re
publican senatorial committoe, which

w Tho fifteen men who in the pro

cipal aspirants for either the Repub
lican or Democratic nomination for
president had a total of $2,980,033
expended in their interests, it was re
ported by Senator Kenyon.
Of this amount $1,773,303 was
credited to Gen. Leonard Wood;
$414,984 to Governor Frank O. Low
den; $194,393 to Senator Hiram W.
Johnson; ""$173,542 to Herbert

James W. Gerard and $12,900 to
Governor Edwards, in the scramble
for the Democratic nomination for

"Naturally the members of the
Committee discussed remedies, to limit
the amount of campaign expendi
tures, for they feel that the expendi
tures of these vast sums 13 a present
and growing menace to the nation "
the report stated.
"We recognize there are constitu
tional difficulties involved in the pas
sago of laws to regulate expenditures
in presidential campaigns, but are of
the opinion that the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections should
in tho next congress take up tho
question of remedial legislation and
U a constitutional amendment should
bo necessary that the proper steps
Should be taken to submit the same
to the people, as provided by the
constitution.
"The subject is of such importance
that the next congress should civo
early attention thereto."
TROUBLES SPARE NOT RICHES
Almost everybody thinks that the
possession of a million dollars would
make them perfectly happy and that
the only reia-oJ; rhv w,.i :".
would be that they could hot live on
earth eternally. Yet, in 1920, thirty
six millionaires committed suicide.
In the same year, seventy-five presi
dents and managers of big concerns
ended. their lives.
Wealth cannot be depended upon
tobanlsh trouble. Woes and had
health follow riches just as surely
as they pursue povorty. Wealth may
aid in warding off some troubles and
monoy may - take one where health
will bo improved, but most rich per
sons have the same things to contend
with that frice poorer ones.
Few wealthy persons are con
tented. Their business is a constant
annoyance or- they lack the capacity
to use their money to attain the
greatest possible personal comfort.
The greater proportion of real hap
piness in the world is among tho$
of moderate means tho man with
a family and a little homo. These
men ordinarily have their life's work
arranged with the minimum of dan
ger of loss of their accumulations.
They are modest in their desires and
are seldom &erIoftslJr disappointed
