 CAMPAICN RELATED
Man Who Thought He was
 Running Tells of Plans

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb 10.-, Chase s. Osborn testified in the New berry elections conspiracy trial in federal court here today. He told the jury that he had "once" tried to be governor of Michigan, and "thought" he was a candidate for the United States senate in 1913 when the principal defendant Tru- man H. Newberry defeated him and Henry Ford in the primary.
 The testimony, punctuated with typical phrases, came as, the climax to day which again brought in what the government attorneys sought to bring in testimony to show direct connection of Senator New berry with the campaign.
 Although the defense claimed it. was ready for Osborn" his cross examination was deferred. James O.. Murfin, defense counsel, told the court that two of the defendants mentioned in the testimony were in
 Detroit and that Constantin A. Dan iels, Grand Rapids politician, whose name came into the story was absent from home. He asked delay until
 he could communicate with these
 men.
 MT. Osborn said Daniels told him
 that Mark T. Mckee, law partner of
 Paul King, manager of the Newberry
 campaign, had possibilities of an
 organization which could deliver the
 senatorship for $15O,OO0. Mckee is
 convalescing at Detroit from an at l tack of pneumonia. l The former governor, next told of I conversation with Milton Oakman
 a Detroit political leader, who is
 also i'll there. He said he told Oak man to "make it cost them what you
 are worth." Edward o. Mclean of Milwaukee former publisher of a paper at Lud- : ington, Michigan, was assured in g ], campaign chat that Governor Osborn "could not blame him for going witt the gang" , Hannibal Hopkins, head of tht Newberry publicity bureau was toie
 he was making financial sewer oi
 himself"
 Paul King in a Fourth of July con yersation was told to "drag out New berry and I'll take care of Ford.p thi' remark coming in response to King suggestion that Osborn quit the cam paign so Ford could be defeated. The governments testimony as t' Senator Newberry's knowledge O @ campaign affairs came in the form o
 numerous telegrams exchanged be 7 tween his naval office in New Yorl and Detroit campaign headauarter F and also by records of the Biltmor 7 hotel in New York. These latte e read by Arthur A. Butterworth, al q accountant, showed numerous visit f of Newberry campaigners, the bill
 for many having been charged to tn ,, candidate.

BOrah and Knox Stage Attack Despite Sche-

FORMAL CONSIDERA1I
 IS SET FOR MONDAY
Hitchcock Argues Ratification is Only Way United States can Effect Justice Through Rep-
 arations Body

Washington, Feb. 10-Debate on the peace treaty was revived today in the senate altho leaders technical lX had laid the pact aside for an other week.
 1rreconcilable opponents of ratifi cation who yesterday voted against resuming consideration t oda brought the subject to the senate floor. Senator's Borah of Idaho, and Knox of Pennsylvania, both republi cans, denounced the treaty's economic clauses as "cruel" and murderous," in it's effect on the conquered peo- pies and in the less direct conse- quences on the world.
 Senator Borah also assailed Her bert Hoover's stand on the treaty and called on him to reply to the list of questions which have been put by the Idaho senators to several republican and democratic candidates for the presidency.
 The debate was preceded by com pletion of the parliamentary steps necessary to restore the treaty to a status making formal considera- tion possible, the foreign relations committee reporting the pact back to the senate with the republican reservations framed at the last ses- sion. The committees action, taken under instructions voted yesterday was entirely perfunctory and with out discussion or record vote.
 Notice that formal. consideration would be requested Monday was served by Senator Lodge of Massa chusetts, the republican leader, wht said the delay had been agreed on be- cause of the absence of many sena tors on both sides of the chamber
 The announcement of the republi can leader developed no discussion and was in the midst of Legislative business that the treaty later wa: brought to the fore by Senator Borah Both he and Senator Knox declared it would "impoverish" Germany, Aus tria and Hungary and that the re suit would be to destroy the finan cial stability of Europe.
 Senators Hitchcock of Nebraska i the democratic leader. and Sterling republican of South Dakota, replie' briefly declaring the only way tn United States now could throw it influence for stability was by be coming a party to the treaty. i Senator Borah declared Presiden Wilson had held out against som of the proposed exactions from Ger many, but had been overruled b. Premiers Clemenceau and Lloy' George. Afterward the European statesmen, MT. Borah asserted. wer reported to have realized that the. had gone too far, but to have bee1 unable to convince President Wilsol the conference should recede.
 Suggesting that Lloyd George ha' been led to make Impossible exact ions" of Germany by promises give Gin the heat of political campaign, Senator Hitchcock declared the Unit ed States could best exert it's influ ence for alleviation of the peac terms by ratifying the treaty and ac cepting membership of the powerful reparations commission. Withou such representation, he argued. thi country would be powerless to inter cedc.

WINGO SAYS 6, 0,P, DOESN'T KNOW OWN
 MIND ON WAR BILL
Arkansas Congressman De- Clares Party Crucified
 Oklahoma Member

Washington, Feb. 10.-The decision of the caucus of house democrats last night to go on record as opposed to any measure providing compulsory universal military service or training was discussed at length today and tonight by those who attended.
 When the official list of negative votes cast in the caucus became available today it was learned that Representative Hudspeth, Texas, and Wellington, Utah, were among the IT voting against the resolution. Rep resentative Igoe of Missouri was not in the official list, nor was Rep resentative Carter of Oklahoma, who also was included in the unofficial report. In the caucus the Oklahoma member declared his opposition to universal training and also his op- position to the resolution, MT. 1goe in formal statement tonight declar- ed his opposition to universal train ing.
 q am opposed to the passage by congress of compulsory universal military training or service bill fol peace time and so voted in caucus, MT Igoe said. "The press report that I voted against the resolution adopted by the majority of the demo cratic caucus is incorrect"
 I Enactment of universal training | legislation was opposed by Senator Pomerene democrat, of Ohio in { 1 statement tonight in which he ex pressed the belief that it would b. unwise at this time owing to th' country's financial condition. Th' Ohio Senator, who has been mention ed as democratic candidate fo president, said he believed in limit ed amount of military training, bu that it was "quite different propo sition to say that all young men mus have it."
 e'To adopt the policy of militar. training now" he said, would b. unwise even if the people wanted i and I doubt this."
 |. Representative Tincher, republican Kansas, commenting on a speech to day in the hiuse, on the action o the democratic caucus, said demo cratic representatives should be con graduated for their upright stand i throwing off the yoke of universa training. and declaring themselve : "in favor of the wishes of the Amer
 ican people" 1 "Such action has prevented tn : Prussianizing of the American arm and the young men of America" h
 added.
 Representative Wingo, democra
 of Arkansas, declared nobody know
 where the republicans stand on uni
 versal training" and that the reput
 licans themselves did not kno' whether they were following Floo Leader Mondell, an opponent of uni
 versal training or Chairman Kahn c the military committee, a support l CT.
 v Referring to the action of Repro l sentative Harreld of Oklahoma, wh { withdrew his acceptance of vacar ] cy on the military committee, M :. Wingo declared the Oklahoma repul : lican was "crucified so the repul
 licans might have their little gam : of militarism." Harreld's resign. : tion, according to Wingo, was du e to sthe sutocratic orders of the r
 publican steering committee" whic
 was challenged as untrue by Repr'
 sentative Madden of Illinois, a men
 Der of the steering committee.

URGED
 AS REMEDY FOR 7HE: EXCHANGE SITUATION
Senator Thomas Charges That Commercial Chaos
 Threatens

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Declaring that foreign exchange had become the "sinister international problem" within the last six months and un- less adjusted soon Commercial cha os" would overwhelm International trade, Senator Thomas, democrat, of Colorado, urged in a speech today the re establishment of the old ratio be- tween gold and silver and the crea- tion of international bi-metalism.
 "The time has come," he said, "when America should take the ini- tiative and renew it's proposal of 1897 for the establishment of parity be- tween the ancient monetary met als, whose relative values now os- cillate between 15 1-2 and 15 to l."
 Europe, bereft of gold, and burden ed with an enormous debt, Senator Thomas declared, faces the problem of establishing the reconstructing her foreign trade and would welcome any system of international stabili- zation of silver and gold value that could be accomplished without en- dangering the financial structure of international commerce or credit The slow but steady rise in the value of silver during the war in spite of efforts to prevent it more than re- stored the old equilibrium between gold and silver, he said, until today gold is the cheaper metal and it. rather than silver. needs the steady ing influence of an international agreement.
 Too Much Paper.
 The "whirligig of time," he declar- ed, "had made applicable to gold to- day the same arguments that were used against silver in 1896 and '97 Senator Thomas declared that "events have confounded the conten. tions of the advocates of gold stand ard supremacy, justified the argu. ments of the defenders of silver anc confirmed the wisdom of the theory of bi-metalism."
 The United States cannot coin sil yer dollars today except at a loss Senator Thomas said, and the condi
 tion will soon apply as well to frac 1 tional currency. On such basis, h' declared, the coins will go to thu
 melting pot as fast as they are mad and inevitably precipitate thruou 1 the world a famine in fractional cur
 rency unless the, ratio be adjusted
 by international agreement.
 The volume of paper money in tn world is out of all proportion to th value of specie, he said. and in thi condition lies the seat of the interna
 ticnal exchange crisis. At the be
 ginning of the world war, the tota paper money of 30 principal nation of the world amounted to about sev en billion dollars, he declared, and il December. 1919, it had increased t more than forty billion dollars whil the gold reserves of the same coun tries had remained practically sta
 ticnary at around seven billion dol
 lars.
 "We may, indeed we must" Sena
 tor Thomas added, "lend our credi
 to those whose trade we need, bu i've cannot, save by mutual agreemen , for the fixity's of exchanges, remoy the gambling element from interns : tional trade stimulate internationi 7 confidence in modern currency sv'
 tems, make the problem of deflatio
 comparatively easy and re-establs 8 the regime of saner and more d. o pendable monetary medium"
