at s22 Colorado Building. In that
room there is q manager, Mr.. e. w.
Mayo; an assistant, Mr.. Kellock; one
clerk, or Office boy he might be called,
and one stenographer. At the same
time one of the reasons we rented
that room for the Domestic Sugar
Producers Association was that there
were two Office adjoining and that
Mr.. Mead and Mr.. Paxton were al
ready upon the ground, and Gov. Car
ter had telegraphed. asking that
should hire him an Office. and so
the Hawaiians, except myself, have
two adjoining Offices to the Domestic
Sugar Producers Association. There
are three Offices there.

Mr.. Ballou. In connection with the

Mr.. Ballou. About year ago last

and requested Hawaii to contribute to
that campaign.
Senator Walsh. How much did you
put into it?
Mr.. Ballou. We began to contribute
at the rate of $4,000 month, and
contributed that way for five months.

part of that campaign ourselves and
carried 1t on by direct disbursements
