Huge sums spent to nominate Davis
Washington June 2 Known expenditures of the primary ticket headed by James J. Davis Republican senatoral candidate in Pennsylvania were brought to a total of $366,144 by the senate primary investigating committee today From half a dozen campaign managers the committee estimated the expenses as follows Brown-Davis eastern headquarters 129693 Davis personal 10541 Philadelphia city organization estimated 60000 Pittsburgh city organization 88460 western state headquarters 77450 total 366144 This figure compares with the known total of 338000 spent by Senator Joseph R Grundy opponent of Davis in the recent primary.

There are no other sources of money or expenditures that I have any knowledge of and I had little knowledge of this.
