MONEY MAIN TOPIC
 ]. AT NEWBERRY TRIAL
Testimony During Entire Session Relates Only to
 Money Expended
sv A,,eeI,,,d pr,,.

Grand Rapids. Mich. February 5--Dol- , lars. formed the main topic of the New berry election conspiracy trial today. Beginning with the testimony of Allan K. Moore. defendant, who pleaded no ccntest,' and continuing right up to ad- journment, the testimony related to money said to have been expended, re- ceived or deposited and checked against. and to cash kept in deposit vaults in De- troit, or handed out in the Grand Rapids offices from which the western Michigan campaign was directed.
 Bank officials were on the stand to identify deposit slips, ledger entries and voucher checks, and guardians of the master key Of a Detroit safety deposit vault told of visits to that institution Dy certain defendants.
 At one stage of the proceedings, Judge Clarence W. Sessions interrupted the reading of long list of deposits and withdrawals with the remark that the jury "could not possibly carry all those figures in their heads
 With the copsent, of. the defense att torneys he ordered the accounts "consd- cred as read
 The prosecution reckoned tonight that it had shown thus far in the case that more than s200,ooo had ben handled in the campaign.
 This was compared with the $3750 which Judge Sessions has ruled was the limit of campaign expenses allowed by law for tine 1918 senatorial campaign. The de- fense has indicated it will combat this point oni the ground that the statutes refer solely to a candidates personal contribution or expenditures
 HANDLED s3,5oo
 Moore testified that he had received or handled approximately $300 in his work as field agent in the campaign
 The testimony of Grand Rapids bank cashier gave the total deposits in the account of Charles Floyd, in charge Of Grand apids headquarters, as $l1, 80. De- troit bankers testified that sooSs was de- posted in the account of Paul Fl. King, chairman" and that the account of the Truman Fl. Newberry senatorial commit tee showed total deposits of sl7s.s57.
 Tn addition it was brought out that Frank w Blair, president of the Union Trust Company of Detroit. and treas urer of the Newberry campaign, handled S7S 956 through his bank. The insfltu- ton s records showed that all this money had been checked against in favor of the Truman Fl Newherry senatorial commit tee account in the< other bank
 While on the subject Of the commit tee account. Judge w H. Eichorn, for the government, had Albert R. Moore Of the Common wealth Federal Savings Bank of Detroit read records showing deposits og 5000 each on August 2 and August 2s of the campaign year. Later With Jchn Y. Stalker, vice president of the Urion Trust Company. on the stand, he adduced testimony that the latter instl- tution's records indicated transfer or NV,-' eco to the other account on each of those days. there being four checks of 500 eac ch drawn On those dates.

REPORT UNCONFIRMED

Some senators believe tha. the re- ported letter from the President to Sen g tor Hitchcock may be laid before the democratic conference Saturday and may have an important bearing on the trend, of the treaty fight. In demo cratic quarters. however, there was no confirmation of the report and the White House remained silent regarding the Presidents probable course.
 Tn discussing the lettsr of viscount Grey Senator Hitchcock revealed that he had talked over the question of res ervations with the British statesman before the iatter's departure from this country The senator said that most of the conversation related, however. to the reservation regarding voting power in the league, viscount Grey indicating that 1t would be acceptable to London but would be expected to bring strong protests from the colonial govern ments.
 Lord Grey was very careful in his conversations concerning the treaty and all proposed reservations while in athis country" Senator Hitchcock added. 1"Ie said the only reservation which Sconcerned his country directly was that which declared that the United States would not be bound by any decisicn or election in which the colonies cast sep arate. votes. This reservation did not affect The mother country but he thought the colonies might strongly object at having their voting right thus attacked"

SMITHS MESSAGE

Do not forget the time honored dem ocratlc doctrine that the government is most effective which governs the least This precept of democratic faith in the recent past has been grieviously and willfully sinned against when, in the name of democracy. there was imposed upon 100000, 900 free people, witbout asking their direct consent. a restrie- tion to their personal liberty which Prussia in her palmiest days never dreamed of"
 The name of Admiral Sims was intro duced by John NJ. Richie. the toast master at the conclusion of Secretary Daniels address.
 The secretary had dwelt upon the great service performed by the North Sea mine barrage in putting an end to the German submarine menace and, in cidentally credited President Wilson with being the first high American official to conceive the idea. Mir Richie, before calling upon Governor Edwards as the next speaker, said
 Secretary Daniels spoke of the great barrage laid across the North Sea. I have just received a memoran- dunn which shows that the only Ameri can officer who opposed the laying Of that barrage was Admiral Sims"

WOULD DESTROY DEMOCRACY


 If the federal government" he con- tinued may subvert the doctrines Of state rights and, without commis sion or mandate from the people, ente upon our firesdes and into our home with the bureaucratic system of fiGe holders and overlordships, the theory of our constitutional government and all the rights incident to home ruie and local state government are de stroyed. Under such a system tho n- destructible union of indestructt ttble states becomes myth and we have the necessary alternative of a great supes power at Washington imposing It's will upon us in the direction of our habits our manners, our tastes and our locli customs. until nothing is left of the in- dependent state of our fathers but the name.
 ITO mo this situation is political sacrilege and I purpose to carry the fight to San Francisco regardless of what any man or set of men may per sonally think, so as to bring abou. 3 popular restatement of tbs doctrine 9i state rights and popular local home rule upon which our fathers founded this governmental

WILL OFFER RESERVATION

When the committee reports, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the republican leader will move the adoption of res ervations which are yet to be decided on by the republican senators. He may present the original republican reser- vations adopted at the last session of Congress, but some of his advisers want him to submit in their place ths modified draft as far as 1t was>agreed on by the disrupted bipartisan com promise committee. On the democratic side. it is said the procedure will not be determined until the plan of the re. publicans Is revealed, although some points may be settled at Saturdays meeting. The reservations of the com promise committee, it is expected. will in any case form the basis of the dem ocratic programme.
 Unless all present indications fail. the treaty discussion will begin without any limitation on debate. The question of q modified cloture was taken up to- day at a meeting of the rules commit tee. but the only action was reference of the whole subject to subcommit- tee which does not expect to act until after consideration of the treaty is well under way If the debate runs away fwith the leaders, however. it is be- 'Iieved that some effort will be made later to get q cloturc.

 Daniels Main Speaker
By Associated Press

New York, February 5.--Prohibitioh and the sims-Danieis controversy were injected into the testimonial dinner given here to Homer S. Cummings chairman of the democratic national committee. at which Secretary Daniels was the principal speaker. One thousand invitations had been issued to the ban auet which was attended by prominent democrats from all parts of the coun- try. The prohibition issue was brought into the proceedings by Governors Ed wards of New Jersey and Smith of New York and was greeted with obviously mingled feelings by the diners. Cover nor Edwards was not on the officia list of speakers and was called upoh unexpectedly after Secretary Daniels had cohcluded his address. Earlier in the evening the New Jersey executive had been given striking ovation when he entered the dining hall and thore was even greater demonstration when he arose to speak.
 Governor Edwards declared that a great issue had emerged from the pa st, the issue of state rights and personal liberty He asserted that this issue must be decided by the people next No Vember

there were apparently very few
minds that had not already been
made up before the Legislature
riet.
No indication has been given
through indisputable channels as
TO whether a majority OF the peo-
pie Of Maryland are in favor OF
woman suffrage or against it.
Probably more than one Of the
Legislators as he cast his vote on
the resolution last tuesday stood
in the same position as Delegate
Coblentz Of Frederick County
Mr.. Coblents said that he was
personally in favor OF suffrage
but that the sentiment OF his
county was against it. Here is
room for an interesting question.
but one Of academic moment only
Just now. Burke. i'll his speech
to the electors Of Bristol. laid
down a principle Of representa-
tion which Lamar adhered to in
refusing. as a United States Sen
ator. to vote for free silver. al
though the people Of his State.
through the Legislature Of Mis-
issippi. ordered him to do so.
a stickler for the old precedents
Of representative government
might have insisted that his own
view was the correct one; al
though under the modern theory
and practice Of popular govern
men; Mr. Coblentz IS right. The
initiative. the referendum and the
recall are the means by which
the majority can enforce its will
il legislation. and they came into
being only in the last decade.
The Maryland General Assem-
bly, has given a notable demon
stration OF fidelity to principle
aad adherence to conscientious
viewpoint. but, as a matter Of
reality, It is a case Of another
Mrs. Darlington facing the ocean
with a broom. The tendencies OF
the times toward emancipation in
every phase OF civic life are irres-
Siblc. and sooner or later the
qualifications for suffrage will be
dealt with on the basis OF citizen
ship. irrespective of sex. For it
IS to be borne in mind that the
Federal Amendment in question
does not Of itself confer suffrage
on anybody, but puts all citizens
of the country.-and women are
citizens under the Constitution
on parity in this regard. In
ether words. it removes the dis
elimination against sex in the
matter Of suffrage The signs are
unnistakablc that the day is not
far off when an equal basis of
suffrage viii be the law of the
land.
