VALIDITY OF FEDE RAJ
ELECTION LAW ATTACKED
IN f FO RT TO QUA S \
NEWBERRY INDICTMENTS

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 29.-Con-
stitutionality of the United States cleo
ton laws was questioned in demur-
rer attacking the indictments against
Senator Truman II. Newberry and 1874
others. filed today by Martin w. Lit
Teton, counsel for the respondents.
The demurrer also sets forth that a
ma ajority of the counts in the indict.
ments do not constitute offenses against
the United States.
The demurrer was filed with United
States District Judge c. w Sessions.
Request for dismissal % the charges
will be argued January 8.
The demurrer holds that not only are
no charges constituted in the indct-
ments, but the congress of the United
States had not authority to constitute
as crime any OF the acts set forth
as offensive in the first FIVE counts
of the indictment. Through the general
election law of June 25. 1910. it is
claimed congress attempts to deny the
right of the people Of Michigan, to
make and enforce laws governing their
own elections and themselves.
In this connection the claim is made
that this act violates the constitution of
the United states by interfering with
the sovereign rights of the various
states
Congress the demurrer adds, is with
out authority TO enact laws regulating
the acts and conduct of citizens in any
states who may become candidates in
nominating conventions, in primary
elections or in a general election. The
general election law is also constitu'
tional, it adds for the reason that con-
gress has no authority to prescribe
qualifications for members Of the
house or senate except as in sections
and 3 Of article one of the constitu-
ton of the United States, which, in ef'
feet makes congress judge of the quail
ifications of its own members.
The claim also is submitted to the
court as reason for setting aside
of the indictments. that congress has
no authority to fix the maximum sum
which may be spent by any candidate
in seeking nomination or election ana
that in fixing this limit at $4,000, II he
comes grossly discriminatory as among
the 4S states.

DEMOC RATIO SENATORS
DEV|S|NG MEANS FOR A
PEACE PACT COMPROMISE

Washington, Dec. 29.-The group Of
democratic senators working for n
peace treaty compromise, centered
their attention compromise. centered
have been accepted by the mild reser.
walton republicans, and by number
of democrats for ratification with three
notifications in the fourteen reserva-
tions approved by the senate majority.
at the last session.
The three changes, which some sen
ators believed would make the reser-
vations acceptable to two-thWds, deal
with the preamble declaration that the
qualifications must be acquiesced in
by the other powers. with article ten
and with Shantung.
The mild group believe that Sena-
tor Lodge, the republican leader, will
be willing to make these changes and
that Senator Hitchcock, leader Of the
democrats, also will be satisfied with
them. II was said however, that
neither of the party heads in the sen
ate had yet expressed u final opin-
ion.
Under the new preamble suggested,
the senate reservations would Dc
guarded as accepted by the other part
les to the treaty unless specific objec'
tiun were made within Il limited time.
The wording Of the article ten reser'
vation would be changed 80 as to elm
nate the language which President
Wilson said he would regard as re-
lection of the treaty. and to substitute
an affirmative declaration that the ar
ticle's objections are accepted with the
understanding that future congresses
shall be at liberty to decide questions
OF peace and war. Language which
some senators have regarded as often
siVe to other powers would be mod
fled in the Shantupg reservation.
Although compromise talk on this
and other modification plans continues
among the senators remaining, there
are so many absent that no concrete
action is expected until the senate re-
assemblies next Monday.
