SENATOR KENYON STANDS FOR
GOVERNMENT BIZ MEN RATHER
THAN MONEY.

/ "
THAN MONEY.
The following are extracts from a
report of the recent great speech de-
livered by Senator Kenyon in oppose
ton to the seating of Newberry OF
Michigan:
"The rule of the people is gone,
Senator Kenyon said. II the senate
"justifies the expenditure OF hundreds
of thousands of dollars to secure a
seat here
The record shows an expenditure
of sat least $685., 900" Senator Kenyon
said, adding that "the plain inference
from the testimony is that much
larger sum was expended.
Social Lobby Active
"If the record showed the ex-
penditure of million dollars for
Mr.. .Newberry." Senator Kenyon con-
tinued. II believe the senate still
would seat him, But no senator who
will study his case with an open
mind and forget that he is member
of any political party can do other
wise than arrive at the conclusion
that the statues Of Michigan were
flagrantly violated; that such sums Of
money were spent in the campaign as
to shock public conscience, and that
the election is tainted and fraudulent.
1.-THE social lobby has been active
in this case-and the social lobby is
effective No argument here is going
to change any votes.
II deny that the Newberry case is
any test of republication, deny
that the seven million majority of
the republican party last fall was
vindication OF any such methods.
deny that the day will ever come
when Lorimerism and Stevensonism
and Newberryism will be a test of
republication. The day has not ar
rived when a few gentlemen in the
senate OF the United States can de-
termine what republication is. If
so, God save the republican party"
"A large part of the press of the
state was subsidized in the Newberry
campaign. AT least $4,000 was spent
for publicity purposes. Two hundred
and one papers were secured.
THE record teens with mys-
terry. Original books, records and
nearly all the checks which would
have shown the transactions were
destroyed, lost or stolen. Valuable
records kept In a barn were stolen
at the opportune time; the record
hbounds in nasty specimens Of cor
rupting influence. False returns
were made to county agents. There
was a doctored treasurer's report.
Witnesses have disappeared, New
berry himself did not come before
the committee and explain the charges,
especially the report which he filed
under the law with the secretary Of
the senate.
The price Of senatorial seats has
been going up and II eit keeps going up
It will surely reach the $500, 900 mark
in the next ten years"
Asserting the pending action Of the
senate will not be the last OF the
Newberry case" Senator Kenyon de-
clared "the day ia coming when it
will be heard in another court-the
court OF the great American people. I"

Boxing Gloves on Fighting Cocks.

An English farmer was recently
hailed into court and fined on the
charge of keeping a place for the
purpose Of cock fighting, but he made
the defense that the sport as INDUCED
in at his place was not an offense
within the law, as the birds fought
with boxing gloves instead OF spurs.
