THE sENATE's INTEGRITY AT
STAKE

In the last Congress Truman H.
Newberry of Michigan constituted the
Republican majority in the Senate. 1t
was his vote which enabled the Repub-
icans to organize the senate, to make
Mr.. Lodge the chairman of the com.
mite on foreign affairs, resulting in
the holding up of the Versailles treaty
and the bedevilment Of the peace of
the world.
In. the present Congess Truman H.
Newberry is an unnecessary, and from
the democratic viewpoint, an undesir-
able member Of a large republican ma
jority in the Senate.
The facts relating to the enormous
expenditures Of money to secure his
election have been made known to the
Senate Committee on privileges and
elections. It is admitted that 100000
was spent, and the conjectural total is
placed as high as 100000. The office
manager Of the Newberry headquar-
tiers in the campaign was last reported
to be somewhere in Canada,' and
the records are reported to have been
destroyed. Senator, ,Newberry's fnan-
cial agent and his brother have admit
ted that they held telephone CONVEX
sations with him about the family bank
balance and the probable cost Of the
campaign.
The supreme court has ruled that con:
gress lacked power to pass the law
under which Senator Newberry was
criminally tried and convicted.
The only body which can now act in
the ,Newberry case in the senate of the
United States. Of course, the repub-
ican party owes Senator ,Newberry a
debt Of gratitude for giving his SEN
atorial party colleagues power to com.
nit their acts of sabotage and wreck
age in the last congress, but whether
or not a republican senate can afford
to pay this debt by retaining a men,
Der whose nomination involved such
outrageous expenditures Of money and
thereby put the seal of its approval Up
on such methods may we'll be doubted.
The senate knows the facts concern
ing the Newberry election as result
of it's own investigation. The issue is
no longer one of Ford VS.. Newberrv or
Democrat VS.. Republican. The integ
rity of the senate is now at stake.

GUNB0ATS TO TAMPIC0
Secretary DENLY Orders |'.4a: Vessels
to. Mexican Port
Authority 70 Use Necessary Power d
Given In Event Of Possible
Disturbances. '7sii n

Washington-Two United States
gunboats, the Sacramento and the
Cleveland, have been ordered 10 Tam
pico as precautionary measure in the
event disorders develop.
Upon the strength Of information
furnished US by the State department
regarding conditions resulting from the
suspension Of shipments OF oil and the
consequent unemployment. the Navy
department has sent two gunboats
there to be ready, for possible disturb
ances requiring their attention." said
Secretary of the Navy DENLY.
THE gunboats have their orders to
station themselves outside the three
mile limit at Tampico and there await
developments" he added. "They have
full authority to take whatever steps
are necessary for the protection Of
American property. 1t is simply pre-
caut1onary measure.
"There are 173 men aboard the Sacra-
mento and PCS aboard the Cleveland,
but they are carrying four and five
inch guns"
Information which prompted the
Navy department to this step came
from the American consul at Tampico,
via the State department. Obviously,
those reports pictured the situation as
a result of the oil companies contro.
versy with the Mexican government
over the 100 per cent export tax. The
companies have protested vigorously.
On June 80 the shipment Of oil was
stopped, presumably as a protest
against the export tax. Reports from
the Mexican fields have it that the un.
employment question is becoming ser.
ious. Feeling is running particularly
high against the American companies,
because Of the general impression that
the Americans are alone in this discon.
tinuance OF operations.

Democratic members made a last as
sault on the resolution. The House
acted Thursday, the vote being 263

Republican Plan Assaiied.
Final debate was principally by Dem
ocratic opponents, who declared that
the Republican plan was futile and
would necessitate separate treaty Of
peace later or ratification Of the treaty
OF Versailles.
For the Republicans, Senator Bran
degee Of Connecticut made the prin-
cipal address, declaring that there
, would not be treaty Of peace" but
probably one or more Of Commerce"
which, he said, would deal with ques-
tions arising out Of the war. Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, Republican
leader, entered the discussion briefly,
mainly to support Senator Brandegee's
contentious. Arguing that q peace
treaty was not necessary to conclude
wars, Mr.. Lodge said that the United
States had negotiated treaties of COM
merce with Great Britain in 1872 and
1915 and also with Spain after the
Spanish war.
