< The rule or the people Is
gone" Senator Kenyon said, II the
senate "justifies the expenditure
Of hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars to secure seat here"
ALL Laws Violated.
While the federal act limfs.ng
campaign expenditures have been
declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court in the Newberry
case, the senator declared, it was
in effect at that time, and SO, ze
added, I'VE find the common laws,
the federal statute and the state
statutes all violated, the latter
openly, notoriously So" The
record shows an expenditure of at
least $263, ,000," Senator Kenyon
said, adding that the plain in
ference from the testimony is that
a much larger sum was expended"
''If the record showed the ex-
penditure of a million dollars for
Newberry," Senator Kenyon con-
tinued, Il believe the senate still
would seat him.
Lobbying Charged.
1.-The social lobby has been ac-
tive in this case and the social lob-
by is effective. No argument here
is going to change any votes. The
matter is pushed at time when
the country can know but little
about it. If Mr.. Newberry were
a democrat he would be promptly
voted out under this record. Some
of the democrats would be found
stoutly defending him.
"a large part of the press was
in the Newberry cam
paign. At least $4,000 was spent
for publicity purposes. Two hun
dred and one papers were secured.
"Mr. Ford is brought in as a
smoke screen in the matter. Ford
will not secure this seat. If Ford
ever said the things that have
been charged he said about the
soldiers he should not a
seat in this body. want to know
the truth about this before | form
an opinion, as l doubt if he ever
said the things that have been
charged.
II realize that the stage is COM
pletely set for this performance.
The senate today does not stand
any too well with the people OF
the United States. When the
brand of approval was put upon
The Stephenson campaign In Wis
consin the senate suffered in the
opinion of the country. When the
brand Of approval Of the Newberry
campaign is now placed by the SEN
ate upon his seat it will suffer still
more. The price of senatorial
seats has been going up and It
Keeps going up it viii surely
each the 100000 mark in the
lext ten years"
Asserting the pending action of
he senate will not be the last of
he Newberry case" Senator Ken
ron declared "the day is coming
yhen it will be heard in another
.ourt-the court Of the great
American people"

THREATEN
NAVY CUT
PROGRAM
French Request For
Permission To Build
Ten Dreadnaughts Is
Serious Blow

Washington, Dec. 1c.--(By As
sociated Press. = The French
delegation has presented propos-
al for SO great an increase in the
strength of the French navy that
the British declare such a pro-
gram, if carried out, would upset
the whole plan for a 5-5-3 naval
reduction.
Although not yet entirely re-
vealed, the British understand
that the French plan provides for
the construction of ten 35, 900
ton superdreadnaughts in the fen
years subsequent to 1925. These
vessels of a type similar to the
American battleship Maryland,
would give France a capital ship
tonnage of 100000, as against
315, for Japan and a prepon-
derance of new ''post -Jutland"
type craft over all nations.
Italy Wants More.
Italy, although indicating dis
approval of such building pro-
gram, is said to have told the arms
conference that if France con-
structs ten such ships, Italy must
carry out similar building pro-
gram.
The combined French and Ital-
ian fleets thus would be some 20c,-
900 tons stronger than the Brit
ish or the American allotments
under the revised figures agreed
on yesterday by the big three.
