ing, duly sworn to, with the clerk of the court of the county or city in
which he resides, setting forth each sum of money and thing of value,
or any consideration whatever constituted, paid or promised by him
or any one for him, with his knowledge or acquiescence, for the pur-
pose of securing or influencing, or in any way affecting his nomination
to said office. Said statement shall set forth the sum paid as personal
expenses, setting forth fully and in detail the nature, kind and char-
acter of the expense for which the sums were expended. If any

eration promised by him and not paid shall be included. Such state-
ment, when so filed, shall immediately be subject to public inspection
and examination, and shall be and become a public record. No officer
shall receive and file any statement of any candidate unless it is made
in accordance with the requirements of this chapter.
