And the men who have worked with

official positions, including great CAPT
talists in one group and powerful labor
leaders in another, exert power with
in the Democratic party which hum
bier aspirants will do we'll not to I'M
derestimate. The contest is on between
the forces Of radicalism and of con-
seryatism, and Mr. McAdoo already
holds most of the radical elements in
the hollow of his hand. A few ultra
radicals of little political experience
may shout for an independent labor
party, but the old owls of the American
federation Of labor and the railroad
brotherhoods are too wise. They have
worked successfully through one of the
great political parties in the last seven
years and they are not fools enough

not set up ticket of their own to be
Knocked down, but they will adopt the
aetics Of the Anti Saloon league and
secretlv pledge candidates for the ma

cause. This is the game the American
people must watch and defeat. if they
are not to wake up some day, as they
have done once before, and find the

WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-The Dem

to sprinkle among them 4 few outside

They also know that Mr.. McAdoo

and Others
INFRINGEMENT
ON STATE RIGHTS
Attorney Declares Congress Cannot
Limit Expenditures-Frth Grand
Jury Investigation limited BY the
Prosecution

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dee 81
The eonstitutionality of the United
States election laws is questioned in
a demurrer attacking the indictments
against Senator Truman H. Newberry
and 1874 others, filed by Martin W. Lit
Teton, counsel for the respondents. The
demurrer also sets forth that ma ior-
ity of the counts in the indictments do
not constitute offenses against the
United States. it was filed with Unit
ed States District Judge G. W. Ses-
sions. A request for dismissal of
the charges win be argued Jan. 5.
The demurrer holds that not only are
no charges constituted in the indict-
ments, but that the congress Of the
United States had no authority to con-
stitute as crime any of the acts set
forth as offenses in the first five counts
Of the indictment. Through the gem
eral election law of June 25, 1910, it
is asserted that congress attempts TO
deny the right of the people of Michi-
gan to make and enforce laws govern
| ing their own elections and themselves
j Auio toHHfCtlDH tue tidliu IL I3duG
that this act violates the constitution
of the United States by interference
with the sovereign rights of the vari-
GUS states.
Congress. the demurrer adds, is with
out authority to enact laws regulating

general election law also is uneonsti

congress has no authority TO prescribe
qualifications for members OF the house
or senate except as in sections and
Of article of the constitution OF the
United States, which. in effect make.
, congress judge of the qualifications OF
: Tits own members.
, The contention is also submitted tC
the court, as reason for the setting
aside OF the indictments, that congress,
, has no authority to fix the maximum
sum which may be spent by any can
didate IN seeking nomination or elee
ton, and that in fixing this limit n
$4,000 it becomes grossly discriuina
tory as among the IS states.
