NXITTH al due respect TO the Supreme court it
wv must be said that the decision in the Newberry
case 10 tie effect that while congress has power to
regulate regular elections for congress it has con-
troll over elections is an instance illegal hair
splitting The results Of which will be rejected by the
common sense Of the public. To say that congress
has no control over the machinery by which candi-
dates for representative and senator are chosen to
say that congress without power to control the seec-
tion Of men sent either house from about half the
states Of the union except by the cumbersome method
set forth in the Fifth section Of Article one, which
provides that each house shall be the judge Of the
elections, returns and qualifications Of its own mem-
bers.
The position taken by the court certainly must
have been a great surprise to the men who were in
the congress that passed the act Of June Is, 1910
under which the prosecution in the Michigan election
cases was undertaken. for Section Of the act says
specifically that the word candidate as used in the
ACT includes all persons whose names are presented
for nomination for representative OF senator in the
congress Of the United States at any primary election
OF nominating convention" The Department Of
Justice and lawyers generally assumed that this meant
lust whattsaid If that is not good law under the
Fourth secton Of Article one. which declares that
The time place and manner of holding elections for
senators and Representatives shall be prescribed in each
state legislature thereof; but the congress may

Impressions Of Charleston until 50
years after that date. Charleston
had a population OF $50 at that

THE houses were mostly con

frame buildings, and, in the back

The principal. on Front street, some
50 feet in width, was laid out on the
beautiful bluff bank OF Kanawha
river, which has an elevation Of 80

the sloping bank between this street

or structures OF any kind and It

HERE IS one thing about The Newbery case
decision upon which the entire Supreme court
bench agreed. and that was that Senator Newbeny
was Improperly convicted in The lower court Chief
Justice White. who eissented from the majority de-
eision that congress incompetent to prescribe regr
ladons for primary elections said specifically that the
act under which the Michigan cases were prosecuted
had been grossly misconstded
his unanimiy on the part Of the high court wipes
out pet contention Of the Democratic party that Re
publican control Of the senate during the final phase
of The Wilson administration, which control prevented
President Wilson from ammiag the Versailles treaty
down the neck Of the senate was obtained BY fraud.
Senator Newberry vote was needed TO give the Re-
publcans control Of the senate, but the decision Of The
Supreme court makes il clear that this vote was Just
as honest and as clean any vote on the Democratic
side Of the chamber Doubtless this turn Of the matter
will give srea. pain to lot Of folks who have been
diligently trying to. set Up a myth that Woodrow
Wilson was the victim Of great political fraud, but
as far as Wilson's standing with posteity is concerned
it's better to have the record on this point cleared up
now than later.
