MICH|CAN'S POLITICIANS
-. FEAR THE NEWbERRY QUIZ
Grand Jury Goes Deeper
Than Spending of $780,
600 to Elect Millionaire
To u. S. Senate.

Grand RS pids, Mich. Nov. s.
Can S1I6.000 be spent legitimateIy
in the election of a United States
Senator In Michigan?
Look for the answer in the fnd-
ings of the United States grand jury
Investigating the election of Tru-
man II. Newberry.
But what is bothering some of the
politicians most Is the rumor that
the investigation involves a lot
more than the question whether
Newberry was legally elected-the
rumor that ii is spreading a net far
and wide to pick UP any corrup'
practice and any corrupt political
practitioner it may find.
The grand jury Is uncovering
inside politics" in Michigan in
manner that reaches down to the
smallest ward heeler and township
worker.
Witnesses by the score have been
subpoenaed from far corners of the
State
Newberry. multimillionaire. was
elected to the United States Senate
last fall after an exciting contest
against Henry Ford. also a multi
millionaire. Newberry's campaign
was adroitly conducted. That II
was expensive is cheerfully admit
ted by Mr.. ,Newberry and his politi-
cal managers. The latter told the
public ip an itemIzed statement
given out after the election that
the campaign had cost $4,000.
The election laws limit a United
State Senatorial candidate to S1O.-
900 for his personal campaign ex-
penses. and Newberry contends that
he kept within this amount. the
larger sum being spent by his
friends and relatives.
Frank c. Daley and II. Dale
Seuter special assistants to Attor-
ney General Palmer. are conducting
the inquiry.
Thirty secret service operatives
are assisting Daley. and It is un-
derstood that many OF them have
been working in Michigan for
months.
Spectators are barred from the
vicinity Of the courtroom and there
is an air of mystery over the entire
affair-an air that is expected to be
maintained until the grand jury
finishes it's work and either pre-
sents a list of indictments that will
create the greatest political up
heaval in the history of the State,
or finds that Truman II. Newberry
was legitimately elected by/unques-
tionably legitimate methods.
The grand jury inquiry is backed
by the Federal law that went into
effect on October 16. 1918. placing
prosecutions for the corrupt use OF
money in elections in Federal
hands Under this statute the gov
ernment can cause the arrest of any
person VINO bought a vote. sold
vote or conspircd to buy or sell
vote. The law went into effect just
two weeks before the election was
held in which Newberry was made
Senator.
