for Mr.. Newberry."
Mr.. DALEY told the jury that the sem
ator was then on patriotic Work IN
New York city as A. lieutenant comman-
der in the Navy, adding that the Amerl-
can Book Company was largely con-
trolled by the Barnes family, to which
Mr. Newberry was related by marriage.
Cody Engaged to Hire Manager.
Mr.. Daley said that Cody was COM
missioned to hire a manager for the
campaign and that ]. G. Hayden, Wash
ington correspondent of the Detroit
News, was offered $500 a month. but
refused the position because he did not
want that kind of job" Mr.. DALEY
said solicitation of Hayden ceased sud
denly after the latter had advised Mr..
Newberry mot to conduct barrel
campaign
Mr.. Daley then shifted the scene to
Detroit, where he said in February
there was a conference of Michigan poll
ticians known as Cody men" This con-
ference, he said. selected Paul II. King,
one of the defendants, as manager of
the campaign.
During the campaign" said Mr..
Daley, Mr.. King visited practically
every county in Michigan. He en-
ployed many general agents and paid
out a vast sum OF money.
The prosecutor then sketched the
publicity campaign of the Newberry
organization, charging that they
sought advertising space in every
newspaper and magazine in the
state" He then turned to the use of
moving pictures. saying that Thomas
r. Phillips of Detroit, one of the de-
PENDANTS, was sent to New York to
negotiate for them.
Buys 900 Feet Of s|Old Films"
phillips purchased about 1000 feet
of an old film showing a review OF the
United States Navy" said Mr.. Daley.
'The subtitles were changed so as
to make the pictures applicable to the
propaganda for which they were in
tended. Mr.. Phillips also employed a
moving picture company to take 125
feet of new films.
Mr.. Newberry posed in various at
titudes in the new film. He went
to a battleship located on dry land
in a New York park and stood on the
bridge of the ship and turned slowly
to face the audience while the camera
caught him in this attitude. He next
played that he was paying visit OF
inspection to this battleship.
ITO divert attention from the fact
that the film was a Newberry adver-
risement and render it more mislead-
ing the film terminated with an ap-
peal for enlistments in the Navy"
Says Money Was Scattered
How the government charges the
money was scattered was described in
detail by Mr.. Daley He said it went
for automobiles and balls, workers at
the polls, votes, banQuets, liquor
cigars and flowers. He charged tina;
some custodians OF money used it to
pay personal debts. There was also
he said. a system of gratuities. A $50
bill was placed in book so that ii
could be found by one citizen and q
banker was given $500 for his In
nuence, the prosecutor charged.
THE defendants wasted a great deal
of money in an attempt to control
the nomination of the opposite party.
he continued. They arrived at the
conclusion that the defendant James
w. Helme would be a suitable op-
ponent to Mr.. Newberry in the elec-
tion and hired the defendant William
Nickel, to induce Mr.. HeIme to be-
come a candidate for the nomination
of United States senator on the demo-
cratic ticket.
Mr.. Daley charged that Nickel was
later told by Charles Floyd that
Helme $4,000 to enter the race.
Mr. Daley asserted the evidence
would show that neither the report
of the committee nor it's books gave
a true account of the receipts and ex-
penditures, that county chairmen and
secretaries who received from $3.50 to
$1,000 were asked TO make reports
showing that they received from $3.50
to 5000" and that no mention was
made of the amounts expended in
behalf of James W. Helme."
