for United States Senator that Michigan
may avoid political scandal which the
Lieutenant Governor believes will follow
the primary in the event Of MIR New

While the Lieutenant Governor does
not charge that Mr. Newberry personally
has violated the primary law, he says the
people Of the State believe that money
has been used too lavishly by those who
are conducting the Ncwberry campaign.
Should you be successful at the polls, =
says the letter, you must expect a
legislative investigation that would be
demanded by an indignant populace.
