THE NEwBERRY CASE.

Since the Spencer subcommittee
evidently has no intention OF hearing
further evidence. there ia no reason
why the Senate COMMITTEES on privi-
| ieges and elections should longer

easc-
1t is almost three years since the
primaries in which the Senator from
Michigan WAS accused OF securing the
nomination through the corrupt use Of
money. II Is two years and seven
months since a contest wns filed in

seats In that body are for sale. Is

II Is admitted that almost s200,0
was spent in the Newberry primary
campaign. Proof has also been. pre-
sented of the expenditure of over
$4,000 more in his interest. For rea-
sons best known to himself. Senator
Newberry has never taken the Wit
ness stand. A number of his political
agents and lieutenants--includ H.
u. Emery. the Office manager. who.
when wanted as a witness. disappear
cd in Canada--have never appeared
to testify before the subcommittee.
Yet more than enough evidence was
presented in the United States Dis
trict Court az Grand Rapids to con-
vict Senator Newberry under the
corrupt-practices act. That the United
States Supreme Court. by to 4, held
the corrupt-Practiees act 70 be un-
constitutional because Congress had
exceeded its powers, In no way clears
Senator Newberry of the charges on
which he was found guilty. 1T leaves
the matter Of the corrupt use of money
in his primary campaign to be dealt
with by the United States Senate
There IL still remains after almost
three years. because of the reluctance
of Senators to do their duty.
When Truman II. Newbcrry was
sworn in as a Senator in 1919, his
presence was Indispensable TO the Re-
puhlicans in the organizations of the
Senate. That political emergency Is
ong past. The Republicans are in Sc
cure control OF the Senate and can
afford to pass on the Newherry case
strickly on its merits. They may now
sindicate the honors Of the Senate
without fear OF embarrassment To the
party.
