RENEW DISCUSSION
Of NEWBERRY CASE
Senator Borah Charges That
Dodging of Responsibility
Creates Bad Precedent.

Senate action on the contest Of
Henry Ford, democrat. for the SEN
atortal seat of Truman H Newberry,
republican. of Michigan. will deter
mine among other things whether the
Senate will lay down the rule that a
man can select a campaign committee
and then be freed Of responsibility for
its activities, Senator Borah, repub-
lican, Idaho, declared today in renew
ed discussion by the Senate of the
elections case.
Mr.. Borah said that If the Senate
held by its action that Mr.. Newberry
was not responsible for the activities
of his committee. the door would be
opened SO wide for corruption that it
never could be closed again"
Il insist that II a committee cor
rupts an election" Mr.. Borah con-
tinued, its the candidates corrup-
ton unless he openly repudiates 1t
and denounces it"
Newberry Unaware Of Action.
souri,. leading in the fight to declare
Mr.. Newberry a duly elected senator,
contended that testimony given the
investigating committee failed to
disclose that MIR. Newberry was ac-
quainted with the affairs Of the COM
tirely without his knowledge.
He asserted that under circum-
stances the candidate could not be
held legally responsible. and added
that he believed many other senator's
might be embarrassed il they were
aware of all activities carried on in
their behalf by their friends.
Senator Walsh, democrat, of Montana,
who began speaking Saturday, when
he introduced a resolution to declare
the Michigan seat vacant. resumed
discussion of the case, delving into
States decision and other legal phases
Of the question.

cause the railroads opened negotia-
tions with the commission. suggest
ing that a 10 per cent decrease In

er decrease on grain products and
