DEMOCRATS AND ANTI-NEW-
BERRY ELEMENT AMONG
G.. o. p. TO PRESS FIGHT

/ WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-Demo-
cratic leaders were engaged today in
devising ways and means for keeping
| the Newbeny case alive as an issue
for the approaching congressional
campaign. AT the same Tune, anti
Newberry Republicans were reported
TO be planning an organized movement
To carry the tght into the primaries in
an effort to block the denomination of
Newberry supporters who are up for
reelection this year.
II would not be surprising il Demo
Gratis We're 10 introduce a resolution
within the next few days to reopen
The Newberry case for further inVes-
tigation. In view of the vote yes
terday, they hardly expect to obtain
the adoption of such resolution, but
they think il will furnish them with
a vehicle for much political ammu-
milton concerning the Newberry case
during the remainder of the present
session Of congress.
Ii the Newberry contest becomes an
issue of the coming election, the cam
paign will be waged with particular
intensity in nine states. Senator
Townsend of Michigan, Senator Frel-
inghuysen of New Jersey, Senator
Lodge Of Massachusetts, Senator Me-
Cumber of North Dakota, Senator
Kellogg of Minnesota, Senator New
of Indiana, Senator France of Mary
land and Senator Calder of New York
all voted for Newberry and all are up
for reelection this year.
The defeat of three of these scna-
tors would give the anti-Newberry
group control of the senate provided
they hold all their strength in the
coming election.
II Is likely, therefore, that the cues
ion whether any serious effort is made
to reopen the Newberry case will de-
pend largely upon the outcome of the
election. The Democrats are deter
mined to give the case no rest |
throughout the campaign and if they |
ut down the Republican margin by |
.hree or more votes, they will likely |
make an energetic effort to bring the |
question of ousting Newberry to an
other vote in the senate at the next |
session.
Senator Willis of Ohio, author of |
he compromise which is credited with |
saving the political skin of Senator
Newberry, issued statement today |
denying that President Harding had |
any hand in framing his amendment. |
senator Willis introduced the compro-
Mise amendment after a conference
With President Harding concerning
he Newbcrry case, but he said today: |
THE president had no more idea
hat ! was going to introduce my
than you had. He never
.uggested anything of the kind. In
Iced, | do not think it would have
net with his approval
Stanley Attacks Senate Action.
CHICAGO, Jan. t3.-The senate
csolution seating Thurman IL. New
Jerry was attacked in an address to-
lay by Senator A. o. Stanley of Ken
ucky as 'the latest example of
iardingesque wobbling."
I'VE are told" said Senator Stan
cy, that the president was the real
luthor of this anomalous resolution
ust passed by the senate, at once
Iamning and saving the senator from
diehigan. We can feel some SYM
'athy, | suppose, for an Administered
ION which comes To the rescue of one
Who has saved its bacon in time of
iireat need. The league Of nations
vas repudiated through the organi-
alton OF the senate and not through
IS conversion, and the senate was or
,anized by one vote--a vote that was
,nt on bail.
