There is some testimony tending to show that other postmast and friends of Senator Cameron procured advertising in his aid, cost of which was not reported to the latter or to his campaign co mittee, nor included in any report submitted to the State of Arizo or to any official or organization in the counties in which the expen tures were incurred, or to the Senate of the United States. It is not clear from the exhibits and the testimony whether t amount intended to be reported, as having been received by t Cameron campaign committee, was $14,811 or $19,811. This co mittee is inclined to believe that the witnesses intended to conv the meaning that the total amount received by the Cameron car paign committee was $14,811. Of this amount $7,500 were co tributed by the Republican National Senatorial Committee. The is some dubiety as to whether $5,000 of this amount is included the $14,811. If not, then, as stated, the total receipts of the Camero campaign committee would be $19,811. However, the record shows that there were other contribution made in the interest of Senator Cameron's candidacy which th campaign committee did not report. Among them was a contribu tion made by Mr. Cleve W. Van Dyke, head of the Southern Arizon Publishing Co., which publishes a number of newspapers in severa towns in Arizona. Mr. Van Dyke caused special editions of his papers to be issued devoted to advocating the election of Senator Cameron and Gov. George W. P. Hunt. The record is not clear as to what the cost of these editions was, or what value they were to either Senator Cameron or Governor Hunt. The action of Mr. Van Dyke was not requested by either of the candidates. More advertising space in the issues was given to Senator Cameron than to Governor Hunt. Mr. Van Dyke stated that there were four special editions with an aggregate of 56,200 copies. They were charged to him by the publishing company at the rate of 3 cents per copy, making a total of $1,686. The committee accepts the statement of Mr. Van Dyke that the advertisements in his papers in behalf of Senator Cameron and Governor Hunt cost him $1,686. No part of this amount was reported by Senator Cameron or his campaign committee, or the Republican State committee, or Governor Hunt, or the Democratic State committee. There is not sufficient evidence to determine what part of this amount, if it is to be allocated to the two candidates, should be regarded as a contribution to, or a disbursement by, either of the candidates or either of the political parties. If the costs of these advertisements, which were met by Mr. Van Dyke, are to be regarded as contributions to the two candidates, then Senator Cameron, or his campaign committee, should be charged with at least 50 per cent of the $1,686, or $843, and Governor Hunt, or the Democratic State committee, the remainder. And, of course, in reporting disbursements, the entire amount should be regarded, and so reported, as disbursements for advertising. The receipts and contributions in behalf of Senator Cameron, exclusive of the expenditures of the Republican State committee which were made for the entire ticket, including Senator Cameron, as shown by the testimony, are as follows: Personal expenditures of Senator Cameron, report filed with committee, as Exhibit 15, and subsequently with Secretary of the Senate, prior to election... Personal expenditures of Senator Cameron, report filed with Secretary John R. Towles, personal contributions. Receipts of Cameron campaign committee_.. Contributions by Cleve W. Van Dyke, consisting of advertisements in newspapers, in favor of Senator Cameron. Deficit, as stated by Hoval A. Smith in his final report to the Secretary of the Senate__ Total. $1, 450. 01 532.50 1, 360. 65 595.00 14, 811. 00 843.00 3, 500. 00 23, 092. 16 If there were added to this amount the sum of $5,000 herein before referred to, then the total amount would be $28,092.16. But the committee believes the witnesses intended to state that the entire receipts were $23,092.16 and not $28,092.16. Mr. Hoval A. Smith filed with the Secretary of the Senate a report, sworn to on the 31st day of October, 1926, showing various receipts and disbursements by the committee; and under date of November 24, 1926, he transmitted to the Secretary of the Senate what he called "a final itemized report of the receipts and expenditures of the Cameron campaign committee." In this report he states that the deficit "for all miscellaneous expenses figured at $3,500." This amount should be added to the list of expenditures in behalf of Senator Cameron and is included in the above statement. Mr. W. W. Pickrell, secretary of the State Republican committee, testified that up to and including the 31st of October, 1926, contributions amounting to $10,354.15 had been received by the committee, and that it had expended in the campaign for the election of the State ticket, including the candidate for United States Senator and the candidate for Congress, the sum of $9,775.63. The statement presented by Mr. Pickrell consists of nine sheets, and is noted in the testimony as Exhibit No. 5. Some of the contributions were made by persons interested in copper mining-$1,000 being contributed by a mining man residing in California who is interested in copper mines in Arizona. The committee classified the expenditures made by the State Republican committee as follows: It will be noted that the total submitted in Exhibit No. 5, which is the statement of the State Republican committee, is $9,775.63, while the total of the analysis of the statement made by the committee is $9,694.63. Mr. Pickrell's statement shows an error of $81 in adding up expenditures. Mr. Pickrell also testified that there were some unpaid bills, but he believed that $1,000 would cover them. In that event, using the corrected figures of the committee, there would be a deficit of $340.48, 12 SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES assuming that there were no further expenditures after he gave testimony on the 31st of October, and the total disbursements of State Republican committee would be $10,694.63. As stated, no mention in the testimony was at any time made specting the Republican gubernatorial candidate and therefore the is no record of his expenditures, except the statement which he hi self submitted to the proper authorities. In a statement of receipts and expenditures up to and includi October 20, 1926, filed with the Clerk of the House of Representativ Judge Otis Baughn lists the following contributions: Sept. 30, 1926. Col. R. Campbell, Phoenix, Ariz.... Oct. 10, 1926. Republican National Committee, Headquarters, Chicago $6 50 1, 65 And in a final statement, filed with the Clerk of the House o Representatives on November 27, 1926, the amount of contribution is the same, there being no increase listed. EXPENDITURES OF DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES In the primary contest, Congressman Carl Hayden expended $615.99. Of this amount, $517.30 was paid to various newspapers in the State for printing a card announcing his candidacy for the Senate, and the remainder was spent for postage stamps, envelopes, multigraphing, addressing, and for telegrams. No expenditures were made in his behalf by any person, party, or organization. Mr. Hayden, as shown by the record, which includes returns made by him to the Secretary of the Senate, received the following contributions: Oct. 9, 1926. C. Eagan, Phoenix, Ariz. Oct. 16, 1926. Arthur T. Mullen, Omaha, Nebr... $25.00 25.00 Oct. 16, 1926. Democratic senatorial campaign committee, Washing ton, D. C... 1,000. 00 Oct. 22, 1926. S. P. Applewhite. Douglas, Ariz 500.00 Oct. 23, 1926. Democratic senatorial campaign committee, Washing ton, D. C... 1,500. 00 Approximately 60,000 copies of a special edition of Labor were sent from Washington, D. C., to Arizona without expense to Mr. Hayden, and he credits the same to contributions_. Total... 474. 15 4, 074. 15 It will be noted that of this total $2,500 was contributed to his campaign by the Democratic campaign committee with headquarters at Washington, D. C., and that contributions by individuals amounted to $1,100. The special edition of Labor, listed as a contribution valued at $474.15, was distributed by the publishers among the voters of Arizona without any expense to Mr. Hayden. In his general election campaign, Mr. Hayden expended a total of $8,378.02, distributed as follows: Contributed to Democratic State senatorial committee.. Advertising and publicity. Miscellaneous__ Total_ $2,800.00 4, 602. 00 976. 02 8, 378. 02 The sum of $976.02, in the above statement, was expended for hotel and travel expenses, telegraph and telephone tolls, stamps, envelopes, prints, auto hire, stenographic work, office expenses, clerk hire, office equipment, rental of typewriters, electrical equipment for radio music, and miscellaneous items. Gov. George W. P. Hunt contributed $325 to the State Democratic committee for the general election. So far as the record shows, he expended no further amount except for his personal traveling expenses. He testified, however, that he expected to contribute to meet any deficit at the end of the campaign, which, at the time the governor testified, amounted to $700. In the record it is shown that Mr. Cleve W. Van Dyke, who is the head of the Southern Arizona Publishing Co., published special editions of his paper advocating the election of Governor Hunt and Senator Cameron, neither of whom solicited advertising of this nature from him. As stated, when presenting in this report the expenditures of Senator Cameron according to the record, Mr. Van Dyke made the statement that the total cost of this advertising amounted to $1,686. If this cost is to be regarded as a contribution to the two condidates, then Governor Hunt or the Democratic State committee might properly be charged with 50 per cent or $843. The "Ellinwood-for-Governor Club" expended a considerable sum of money, almost wholly for advertising and publicity purposes. The committee is unable to state the amount expended by this club. Mr. E. E. Ellinwood made no contribution to the club and expended only $922 in his primary contest. Undoubtedly, the "Ellinwood-for-Governor Club" expended a considerable sum. Mr. James S. Douglas, of Douglas, Ariz., testified that he contributed more than $35,000 in aid of the nomination of Mr. Ellinwood. Those who collected the funds expended by this club refused to produce the books showing the receipts and disbursements, and also refused to testify as to the amount received and expended, contending that the "Ellinwood-for-Governor Club" was organized only to secure the nomination of Ellinwood in the primaries; that all the money collected by the club was expended in the primary contest and that upon the defeat of Mr. Ellinwood by Governor Hunt in the primary the club dissolved. Those who had charge of the club and the collection and disbursement of its funds testified that the club had no connection whatever with any other candidate in the primary election, and gave no support or aid, directly or indirectly, financially or otherwise, to any senatorial candidate or to any candidate except Mr. E. É. Ellinwood. The record supports these contentions. There is nothing in the record to show the receipts or disbursements of Mr. J. J. Cox, who was also a gubernatorial candidate in the primaries. Mr. Lewis W. Douglas, who was successful in the primary contest, filed a statement with the secretary of the state of Arizona, as required by law. This report shows that he expended the sum of $1,559.24. The committee was unable to ascertain the amount expended by the club ogranized in behalf of Mr. Douglas. Those possessing the information refused to testify as to the receipts or disbursements, basing their refusal upon the ground that the committee had no authority to inquire into primary elections or into the primary contests of candidates for Congress. There is testimony, however, that his father, James W. Douglas, of Douglas, Ariz., made a contribution of $15,000 to his primary campaign, and the inference from the testimony is irresistable that other money was spent in the primary contest in behalf of Mr. L. W. Douglas. It is quite clear, however, that any expenditures made for and in behalf of Mr. Douglas in his primary contest were made exclusively in behalf of his candidacy and did not inure in any way to the benefit or advantage of any candidates, including senatorial candidates, whose names were before the people in the primary or general election. According to his "Statement of receipts and expenditures of candidate for election as Representative in Congress," filed with the Clerk of the House on November 13, 1926, Mr. Lewis W. Douglas received no contributions and expended in the general election the sum of $1,559.24, which was distributed over payments for publicity, stenographic hire, office overhead, and personal expenses. Two contributions, totaling $1,000, were paid to the Democratic State central committee out of the total expenditures listed in the above statement. The record shows that the Democratic State Central Committee received in "donations" and "contributions" the sum of $16,960, which is the amount given in the final report of the Democratic State central committee, sworn to on December 3, 1926. This amount was contributed by various persons, including $2,800 by Carl Hayden. The Democratic National Committee contributed $1,000 and Lewis W. Douglas, Democratic candidate for Congress, contributed $1,000. The Democratic State central committee borrowed $1,000 from E. A. Tovrea and $9,000 from the First National Bank of Arizona, which is included in the above-mentioned sworn statement, making the actual cash receipts $26,960. The total disbursements of the Democratic State central committee amounted to $26,636.84, leaving a balance on hand of $323.16. There remains, however, an obligation of $10,000, resulting from the loans made by the First National Bank of Arizona and Mr. E. A. Tovrea. The disbursements of the committee were largely for advertising in the numerous papers published in the State, the total cost of which was $19,253.27. For traveling expenses the committee expended $1,211.20; salaries of employees in State headquarters, $1,300.50; express and postage, $1,901.87; and rent and miscellaneous items, $2,970. MISCELLANEOUS THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE OF AMERICA The Anti-Saloon League of America maintained headquarters and an office force in Arizona and sent speakers to various parts of the State. It nominated no candidates and the record is not clear as to just what its mission was. Mr. R. E. Farley was in charge of the organization. The wet and dry question was not an issue in the campaign, nor was there any proposal to repeal or modify the eighteenth amendment or the Volstead Act. The local organization received from the Anti-Saloon League of America the sum of $750 and from private individuals the sum of $35. Up to November 1, 1926, it expended the entire amount.
