ITO divert attention from the fact
that the film was a NeN-berry adver-
tisement and render it more mislead-

BID MADE FOR APPROVAL OF
ROOSEVELT.
Mr Daley said the film was distri-
buted in Michigan, advertised by
Newberry agents posing as theatrical
advance men. but that patrons Of
the moving picture houses over the
State paid the regular price Of adm's-
sion to see this film"
The prosecutor read telegram
which he said was sent in September,
1918. to Col. Theodore Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay, bidding for his approval
| Of the Newberry candidacy.
The telegram stated that Sli6,eOO
had been contributed 10 the campaign
by many subscribers, but according
to the Prosecutor, the campaign
| statement of the committee showed
| that five contributors alone gave
! S169, 900, and named John s. New
berry, a defendant and brother OF
the Senator; Mrs. Henry b. JOY
sister. and her husband, and Victor
Barnes and Lyman b. Smith Of the
American Book Company.
How the Government charges
the money was scattered was de-
seribed in detail by Mr.. Daley.
He said il went for automobiles
and halls, work at the polls, votes,
banquets, liquor, cigars and flow
ers. He charged that some Gus
todians Of money used It 20 pay
personal debts. A $50 bin was
placed in a book SO that It could
be found by one citizen and a
banker was given $500 for his
influence, the Prosecutor charged.
CHARGES CHURCH GIFT TO AID
SENATOR'S CANDIDACY.
He said Senator Newberry made
personal subscription to a church to
further his candidacy.
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 con-
clusion that the defendant, James w.
Helme. would be a suitable opponent
TO Mr. Newberry in the election, and
hired the defendant, William Nickel,
to induce Mr Heime TO become a can
didate for the nomination OF United
States Senator on the Democratic
ticket"
Mr. Daley charged that Nickel
was later told by Charles Floyd that
Samuel O'Den, a defendant, had paid
IHelms 5000 to enter the race, Mt
IDsiley said the Eewberry organisa-
ton got up the petitions by which
Mr.. Helme's name was placed on the
Democratic ticket, managed his cam
paign and paid Helme a weekly
lsalary."
while these things were transpir-
ing in Michigan there was constant
communication with Mr.. Newberry in
New York" said Mr. DALEY.
Mr.. bailey asserted that on the
day when the report OF receipts and
expenditures was to be filed, the
books failed to balanoa by about
$40 900 and that Blair began tc
scramble to procure the money and
succeeded in getting 1t within a few
days"
He said the evidence would show
that neither the report Of the com
/ lmittee nor their books gave n true
account OF the receipts and eXpendi'
lures. that county chairmen and sec
retaries who received from $3.50 Il
81 200 were asked to make reports
showing that they received from tl5i
TO 5000" and that no mention wa
made OF the amounts expended 7
behalf Of James w Helme."
