Confer At Station
The majority of the delegates ar
rived at the station only a few min

was little time for canvass OF senti-
ment as to the favcrites they will
back at S Francisco. There were
two and three-man conferences
a-plenty.
Senator Norris came in for much
favorable comment because of the
provisions he had made for the COM
fort of the party during the journey.
The cars he obtained were of the lat
est compartment type and were pro-
vided with everything necessary for
business and pleasure on the trip.
Discussing the question as to the
"favorites" among prob BILE candi-
dates who have been mentioned, while
on the train to Harrisburg, Pa, yes

of "militarism' will be raised against
the army reorganization bill when 1t
gets to the floor of congress. it was
evident today Members of the SEN
ate military committee, who have
just decided to favorably report the
measure, believe, however that its
educational, physical culture and In

those who denounce it's universal

Senator Wadsworth said today the
bill will be taken up in the senate
probably next week. 1t provides four

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. 81
Michigan politics went on the oper-
ating table here today.
The inner mysteries Of the states
political history for the last three
years were to be dissected and held
up for public scrutiny with the open
ing before Federal Judge Clarence w.
Sessions Of the trial of United States
Senator Truman II. Newberry and
iS4 of his political cohorts, charged
with corrupting the ballot box.
BY the time the story Of the bitter
contest between Henry Ford and
Newberry for Michigan's seat in the
senate in 1918 is carved out and
kicked around the court room, there
promises to be not even a skeleton
left ,#s
Senator Newberry and all Of those
indicted with him are charged with
conspiracy to corrupt the electorate
of Michigan by the use OF money.
The senator and dozen or more OF
his political chiefs are charged also
with fraud in the filing of the sena-
tors expense account.
The government will submit evi.
dence intended to prove that New
berry's campaign preceding the pri
mary and general elections in 1913
cost between 100000 and $1,000,000.
The money was spent. according to
evidence submitted at the trial, in
obtaining public speakers, advertise
ments in newspapers, and in some
cases in actual vote buying 1t also
is alleged that Newberry filed false
statement of expenses with the sec.
retary Of state, thereby committing
perjury.
Indictment of the senator and his
Won kers followed one of the most
bitter campaigns ever waged in Michi'
gan. In the primaries Newberry was
opposed on the republican side by
Henry Ford. the Detroit automobile
manufacturer. Ford also was a can
didate for the democratic nomination,
having been selected by supporters in
both parties. James w. HelIns, for.
mer state drug and food Inspector,
entered the lists for the democratic
nomination and 1t was alleged that
he was in the employ of the New.
berry interests. who were said to
have sought to split the democratic
and his connection with the cam
paisn was expected to prove nearly
as great a sensation as that Of Sena-
tor Newberry himself.
Among the managers for Newberry
during his campaigns who were in
dicted with him are the following:
John S. Newberry, brother Of the
senator, who. according to a cam
paign statement, gave $4,000 from
the Newberry estate to the campaign
fund
Allan A. Templeton, Detroit manu-
facturer, chairman of the Newberry
campaign committee.
Paul H. King, Detroit attorney. ex-
ecutive secretary Of the committee.
Charles A. Floyd, Detroit, railway
manager.
The list of indicted includes doc
tors, lawyers, politicians, manufac'
turers, retail merchants and several
newspaper men. One country editor

HIGHEST IN HISTORY
During Five Months of Campaign to
Reduce Prices, Middle Men
Have Made Vast
Profits. ... ...

STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.--Middle
men have accumulated vast prohts
during the five months of the govern
ment's campaign to reduce prices OF
necessities, investigation Of two gov.
ernment departments indicated today.
Since the middle of August when
Attorney General Palmer announced
he was going after the price goug-
ers" reports show that:
Prices paid farmers for principal
crops decreased from 3.4 to 81 per
cent each month, according to the
agriculture department and
Prices paid by consumers Increased
continuously until they reached the
highest point in history in December,
according to the labor department.
These reports seem to indicate that
middiemen are buying cheaper than
ever before, but receiving the highest
prices in history.
According to the agriculture depart
ment the level of prices paid produc-
ers of the principal crops at the farm
decreased like this:
Three and four-tenths per cent in
August 81 per cent in September;
81 per cent in October. and AT per
cent in Novemb ber. Part Of this is due
to a seasonalble falling off in demand,
agriculture department officials say.
But over a ten year period the aver
age decreases due to seasonaDie de-
mand were only IL per cent in Aug
ust; 2 per cent in September; 3.6 per
cent in October, and 3.6 per cent In
Nov ember.
Prices paid farmers for meat pro-
ducing animals also have decreased
in the last five months in greater pro-
portion than the average seasonable
decreases for the ten year period. In
the month ending Aug. 1919, prices
decreased 3 per cent as compared
with a customary increase of Is per
cent for the ten year average; in Sep
tember, 1919 1876 per cent decrease
as compared with a customary in
cerase of 2.6 per cent; in October 81
per cent decrease as compared with a
seasonable decrease of 3S per cent
decrease for the ten year average.
The history of the increase in prices
paid by producers for twenty-five ar
ticles Is shown by the labor depart
nent index numbers as beginning in
In that month the index
figure of prices of principal COM
modities was 1SS. In October it re-
NAMED the same but in November 1t
jumped to 1872 and in December had
raised itself to 1877. Thus from Sep
tcmber to December the index figure
increased nine points. What this
means is seen in the labor depart
ment's report from November IS to
Dac TX which shows that retail
prices increas ed as follows
Cabbage, SO per cent; onions. II per
