KENYON MAKES
PEPFUL SPEECH
Republican Senator Airs
Views on Newberry
Election Case

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-DeelsE;.
ing ias tie motley spent in Senator
tNewbcrry's campaign for election
to the senate from Michigan re
gurdless Of any statutes" shows
! the entire election to be tainted"
Senator Kenyon, republican Of
Iowa, asserted in a speech in the
senate today on the Ford-Newher-
ry election contest tnat II that
body voted to seat the Michigan
senator 1t would be Undermining
the foundations Of this govern
ment." The rule Of the people Is
gone Senator Kenyon said, If the
senate approves Of spending Of hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars to se'
cure seat here"
While the federal act limiting
campaign expenditures has been
! declared unconstitutional by the
house, since the Newberry cam.
paIgn the senator declared It was
in effect at that time, and SO. he
added, "we find the common law,
the federal statute and the state
statutes all violated, the latter
openly, notoriously So" the rec
ords show expenditures Of at least
$26S,000, the senator said, adding
that the plain inference from tho
! testimony is that a much larger
sum was expended.
III the record showed the exper.
diture OF a million dollars for Mr..
Newberry," Senator Kenyon con
tinued, "I believe the senate stiil
would seat him. But no senator
who will study this case with an
open mind and forget that he Is q
member of any political party can
do otherwise than arrive at the
conclusion that the statutes OF
Michigan were flagrantly violated;
that such sums Of money were
spent in the campaign as to shock
public conscience, and that the
election Is tainted and fraudulent.
1.-THE social lobby has been active
in this case-and the social lobby
is effective. No argument here Is
going to change any votes"
"The matter Is pushed at a time
when the country can know but
little about It. II Mr.. Newberrv
were a Democrat he would be Vo.,
ed out under this record. Some of
the Democrats would be found
stoutly defending him, 1t is un'
fortunate that on any question OF
public morality there should be a
dividing line Of politics in the
chamber.
~ deny that the Newberry case
Is any test OF republicanism.
deny that the seven million major.
ity OF the Republican party last
fall was vindication OF any such
methods. deny that the day will
ever come when Lomerism and
Stephensonism and Newberryism
Will be test OF Republicanism,
The day has not yet arrived when
few gentlemen In the senate OF
the United States can determine
what Repu blicanlsm is. II so, God
save the Republican party"
The Iowa senator declared it was
"nonsense TO say that Senator
Newberry knew nothing about the
campaign" adding that "the rec.
ord fairly teemed with evidence
showing that Mr.. Newberry was
the active manager there OF and the
guiding genius"
1.-THE people OF the country do
not endorse the large expendi-
turc Of money in campaigns. Last
year the Republicans did not dare
