Total contributions were placed at $24,174,223. The Republican Party spent $14,941,142 and received $16,476,039 in contributions. The Democratic Party spend $6,095.357 and received $6,284,463 in contributions. Experts for the committee estimated that a total of $35,000,000 to $40,000,000 was spent with the expenditures of local committees taken into account. While the reports of the Democratic and Republican national committees indicated that they technically kept within the $3,000,000 limit set by the Hatch Act, the money actually spent for the national tickets of both parties was far in excess of that limitation. This was due to the assumption by State committees of obligations hitherto met by the national committees. Expenditures through national and State committees were compiled as follows: Democratic-National National committee. Other committees Subtotal $2,438,091.88 .$2,995,139.48 Democratic-States State committees Subtotal Republican-National National committee Subtotal Republican-States State committees Subtotal $2,785,659.82 314,558.19 $3,100,218.31 $6,095,357.79 $2,242,742.47 1,355.604.8 1,476,563.33 $5,074,909.88 $9,111,332.18 754,900.81 $9,866,232.99 $14,941,142.87 The total of $22,740,313 included expenditures by Senatorial committees of $1,139,401, other political parties committees in States. $19,909.25; National Communist party, $89,548.26, and miscellaneous committees, $454,954.10.

Congress Has Power to Regulate State Primaries for U. S. Posts The United States Supreme Court ruled (May 26, 1941) that the Government's power to regulate elections covers Congressional primaries in the States. Justice Harlan F. Stone delivered the 4-to-3 decision, involving a question described by the Justice Department as of "paramount public importance." Justices William O. Douglas, Hugo L.. Black and Frank Murphy dissented and Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes did not participate. Justice Stone asserted that "we think that the He authority of Congress includes the authority to regulate primary elections when, as in this case, they are a step in the exercise of the people of their choice of Representatives in Congress." explained that this question had not been passed on specifically in any previous decisions of the Supreme Court, including litigation involving former Senator Truman H. Newberry of Michigan in which primary campaign expenditures were involved and a decision in favor of Newberry was handed down in 1921. |
