Will there be wholesale fining, im-
prisonment, and disqualification of
candidates in the primary election us
a result of failure to file expense
certificates according to the provis-
ions of sections 28 and 38 of the pri-
mary election law?
Up until noon yesterday only 17 out
of 84 candidates had filed tile ex-
pense certificate. These certificates
must be in by the 14th.
Section 28 states in substance that
any nominee failing to file tbe re-
port shall have Ills certificate with-
held by the election board and that
any candidate not receiving the nom-
ination who falls to file tho report
shall be fined not less than $25 nor
more than $500.
Section 38 in the first sentence
states that it Is the duty of all can-
didates to file reports and then in
the same section lays a penalty of
a fine of not less than $50 and not
more than $11,000 and Imprisonment
of not less than three nor more than
12 months in the county jail.
"I can not say what the election
board will do because until the 14th
there will be no violations of the
law, said Secretary 11. S. Levy of
the election board today. "I can say
though that any candidate is liable
to go to jail if his expense account
is not In."
