Referendum Continues

The Journal referendum to test
informally the strength of the two
candidates for the state senate is
proceeding somewhat more slowly
than was hoped in view OF the
short time to elapse before the
primary.
Owing to this fact and to the
Importance of securing a result
that shall be truly representative
of the wish of republican voters
OF the county, the vote will be
continued until next Tuesday, May
25th. Every republican reader who
has choice, as all should have,
is urgently invited to fill out the
ballot below or any similar COM
munication and send in at the ear
hest possible moment. The article
in our Weather Eye Department
this week shows the need of quick
action if the will of Audubon
County republicans is to have any
influence in the choice OF a can
didate for this high office.

OUR WEATHER EYE
The Lesson of History

The lesson of history is that by
some means or other Audubon
County is usually deprived of her
rightful privilege of choosing for
approximately one-third of the
time the state senator for the Au-
dubon-Guthrie-D Dallas district. Du-
ring the past quarter of century,
the office has been held by an Au-
dubon County man just two years.
Below are given the names of our
state senators during that period:
lS95--96; A. G. Hotchkiss,
Dallas.
lss7--9s; A. c. Hotchkiss,
Dallas.
$4,000; F. M. Hopkins, Guth-
rie.
l9ol--o2;; F. M. Hopkins again.
10000; F. M. Hopkins again.
1905--06; F. NJ. Hopkins again.
l9O7--OS; F. M. Hopkins again.
l9O9--lO; George Cosson, Aud
ubon.
l9ll--l2; A. M. NlcColl, Dallas.
19l3--l4; A. NJ. McColl again.
l915--16; j. w. Foster, Guthrie.
l9l7--lS; j. w. Foster again.
10000; j. W. Foster again.
A review of the entire period
makes it clear that Audubon Coun-
! tvs weakness in the past has lain
In her failure to unite solidly upon
a candidate to be presented to the
other counties of the district. They
on the other hand, have centered
upon candidate and presented a
solid front; and by the strength
that comes from union, they have
won again and again when the
office should rightfully have come
| to Audubon County.
i And this year again Audubon
4 County presents a divided front
with the primary only eighteen
| days away. Moreover, no means
are provided by law for getting to-
| gether until it is too late to accom-
plish the desired end. For if we
must wait until the primary to find
out whom Audubon County wants
1 for state senator, then our sister
counties cannot be guided by our
choice as they are more than will
ing to be this year.
Our Weather Eye tells US that
the will of Audubon County repub-
llcans is in a fair way to be defeat
ed unless they shall have registered
a clear and unmistable choice with
in the next fo0r or FIVE days; and
that all republicans who have not
already should record their prefer
ence without fail within that time
in the referendum which the Jour
nal is conducting.

Paul II. King headed the Newberry

Paul II. King headed the Newberry
campaign in Michigan. The Govern
ment claimed that Senator Newberry
and Frederick Cody Matched the al
legged plot TO corrupt the 1918 elections
in Michigan while they resided in New
York.
New'berry worked direct through
King in carrying out the details of
the campaign, the Government oon-
tended. The case hinged on whether
or not Senator Newberry caused TO
be expended" an amount in excess of
the sum allowed by the Michigan
statutes in procuring his election.
This amount is 33,750.
The defense contended that New
berry had nothing to do with the
spending Of the large sum of money,
that he did not contribute one cent
To the campaign fund and was not
informed Of the huge amounts spent.
A Grand Jury summoned in the
autumn OF 1919 returned indictments
accusing 1856 men Of conspiracy to
violate the Federal statutes BY spend
ing an excessive amount of money in
the campaign A conspiracy to de-
fraud the whole State Of Michigan by
using the mails in the alleged fraud
ulent election scheme was also
charged.
These were the two main accusa-
tions which went before the jury.
Four other indictments were either
quafshed or combined with these two
principal charges. The trial covered
a period Of eight weeks.
When the case reached the jury's
hands only eighty-five defendants
were involved. Ten pleaded nolo
contendre the Government failed to
sustain its charges against thirty
eight others and they were dismissed.
One man WAS not apprehended and
another was too al to stand trial
The investigation and trial cost the
Government and the defendants a
huge sum, estimated by court at
tached at Approximately $500, 900.
