LET"THAE INVESTIGATION Be 81 COMPLETE

'"The general public may not realize that the proceedings IS
the Truman H. Newberrys case are,stos say the least, unusual.
The remarkable part Of the whole affair is the fact that the
case is brought by the Federal government. The rule here
tofore has been for the contestants to fight the matter out and
then for the Senate committee to base its findings In an invest
igation of it's own. But in Senator Newberrys case, the Senate
investigation will wait until the case is decided in court. -
EITHER a decided attempt has been made to conceal the fact
that the same charge was made against Ford that was. made
against Newberry, or else that fact has been forgotten. New
ertheless such is the case and while the federal agents are work
ing night and day, against Newberry they have paid no atten-
ton whatever to the charges against Ford. The charge in both
cases was expanding more money than the federal statute per-
mits.. !.
tThe suggestion which naturally arises is this: a new form
of political corruption where the party in power with the mas
sive machinery at beck and call turns that power and wealth
against an enemy and at the same time ignores all charges
will be remembered that Henry 'Ford's candidacy was an
nounced at the request of President Wilson and everything
within power was done by the administration to elect the
the Detroit manufacturer. While Ford had been an advocate
of pacifsm and while he talked against the war and while his
son was exempted from service Truman H. Newberry was
serving his countryiq its hour of need;andshis two sons were in
the thick of the fight. ~ " 5%s~
"The defeat of Ford was undoubtedably a severe blow to Mr..
Wilson and a great disappointment to his followers. It meant
the control of the Senate. In order apparently to wreak VEN
geance, a disappointed administration now attempts to use
the Federal government to bring about the desired results.
The people can demand justice, and justice will be demanded.
If one must be tried, let both contestants be tried.
"Let US have. the story of the Ford machine and the millions
spent for his election. Let us have the story of the influence
brought to bear from the White House and every other source
of the Federal government. If there is to be a fight on the is

Congress has said that it awaited the action of The Ameri-
