ARE SENATE SEATS FOR SALE?

In it's disposition of Henry
Ford's contest of the election of
Truman H. Newberry, of Michi-
gan, the United States Senate
has an opportunity as plain as its
duty to decide whether large and
lavish, if not reprehensible, ex-
penditure of money is enough to
give title to a seat in that branch
of congress; whether violations
Of the law--such as are charged
are to be condoned by body
whose function it is to frame
laws.
There is no denial that Mr..
Newberry's apparant plurality
at the polls was obtained by the
use of very large sums of money.
The law limits the personal ex-
penditures by or on behalf of
senatorial candidates to $40, 1000.
1t is admitted that there was an
outlay of $l7S,000 in Mr.. New
berry's primary campaign alone.
There is evidence for the pre-
sumption that an even bigger
amount was used in furthering
his election.
Mr.. Ford has a right to de-
mand from the senate guar
antee that a candidate who re-
spects and obeys the laws shall
not be defeated by an opponent
in whose interest the law is
ignored and violated. There is,
obviously, involved in this con-
test a more important considera-
tion than Mr.. Ford's political
fortunes. There is the question
whether such brazen attempts to
influence elections by unlawful
use of money are to be rewarded
by membership in "the greatest
deiberative body in the world"
whether ballots or slush funds
are to determine who shall hold
public office.
At this moment the democratic
membership IN the senate is two
fewer than the republican mem
bership, With Mr.. Ford in and
Mr.. Newberry out the numerical
strength of the parties would be
equal. If, instead of majority,
the republicans had but a parity

gress, legislation upon the mo-
mentous internal problems that
must soon be solved might easily

characterized the democratic con-
crosses of the last eight years;

Ford. who furnishes evidence
that he was beaten by illegal
means and methods, it will be of

must have some thought of pre-
venting a taint upon its mem

REPUBLICANS RESPONSIBLE.

Republicans wanted office and
sought power. but apparently
they are unwilling to accept and
discharge responsibilities. This
fact is made abundantly manifest
to all who read the pleas and
plants that have come from re-
publican leadership in congress
following the presidents latest
message. As a minority in the
last congress, the same republi-
cans were persistent but not al
ways consistent--c critics of Presi-
dent Wilson's failure to recon-
mend tasks and courses of legis-
lation. AS a majority in the
present congress they begin their
careers as critics of his proposals
for the very enactments they
previously demanded.
These leaders of a majority
that has taken control of con-
gress expect the president to re-
tain the initiative and account
abilityifor all that is done by way
of passing new or recalling old
laws. They seek to continue
their role of critics of his per-
formances instead of being them
selves performers. They have
walled for six years that the
president has usurped and ex-
ercised autocratic authority in
the legislative as well as the ex-
ecutive branch of the govern
ment. They have called on the
people to end his sway by elect
ing them. Yet, at the. moment
when power is in their keeping.
they decry the president for ex-
acting of them the duties that
go with their dominance.
1t was charged that the presi-
dent had failed to offer any sug-
gestions for the disposition of
the railroads, the telephones and
telegraphs. 1t was lamented that
he had no plans for reducing tax
alton. 1t was asserted that he
was without ideas for reconstruc-
ton. They were indignant alike
at his actions and his omissions.
But now that he has submitted
to them program which con-
templates remedies for all the
conditions that war has begotten.
this republican majority is loud
voice of protest and denunciation.
President Wilson has recon-
mended the return of the rail
roads and the other utilities that
the government diverted to its
control under the exigences of
war. He has given them specifica-
tions as to the lowering and aboli-
tion of taxes. He has presented
theneed and the outline for indus
trial reforms. Heshows the way
to make constructive changes in
the tariffs. He has requested
assistance TO our foreign COM
merce- which will be a help to
our domestic business. He has
recommended provisions in be-
half of soldiers and sailors and
has referred congress to plan
already evolved.

sage that has ever gone to con
gress," says Senator New, o.
