Campaign Finance in the Presidential Election of 19401

Louise Overacker

American Political Science Review, 1941, vol. 35, issue 4, 701-727

Abstract: Important changes in the regulations governing receipts and expenditures of party committees, enacted in the summer of 1940, make a study of the financing of the presidential election of that year particularly interesting and significant. “Hatch Act II,” designed primarily to extend to certain state and local employees limitations upon political activities already imposed upon federal office-holders by “Hatch Act I,” introduced a number of radical changes in the rules governing the collection of campaign funds.
