DEMOCRATS WILL CARRY NEWBERRY
 CASE ID PEOPLE
Sincere in Fight on Michigan Man, They Admit Party Will Benefit as"Result of
 WhiteWaShing
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age Herald,
 R00 navfdGOn RuiIdfnY.


 Washington, January 14.-(Special) Democrats will carry the Newberry case to the people. All strategists < interested in the success of the party P in the congressional campaign this year have agreed on the foregoing.
 Democratic Senators were sincere in their belief that Senator Newbery should have been unseated. They felt that he was aware of the heavy expenditure in his behalf. They held also that even if he had been unaware he should have been un- seated on the ground that no commit tee has the right, moral or legal, to purchase a seat in the Senate and donate it to an individual.
 They were sincere in their stand. But all of them admit that from political standpoint, the democratic party was benefited when the repub- llcans succeeded in whitewashlng the Michigan Senator.
 Why He Was Seated
 There seems to be no question in the minds of democratic senators in- terviewed but that the republicans were moved to stand by Newberry because it was lTfs vote which per mitted them in 1918 to organize the Senate.
 Tn that year, the republicans had a majority of two. Had Henry Ford. whom Newberry defeated. come to the Senate, the democrats would have thad as many votes as the repub- licans. Vice President Marshall in the event of the tie, would have cast for the democrats the deciding vote.
 As result of organizing the Sem ate, the republicans came into pos session of patronage valued at more than $1,o00,000 per annum, But that was a small matter. They were en- abled to fill the committee on for efzn relations with senators known to be of the o1d-line republican school, and as such bitter against Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations.
 The propaganda against the league and Wilson which the republicans, by virtue of their majority, were able to send broadcast throughout the country. unquestionably resulted in the defeat of the democratic can didate for the presidency. So 1t was debt, indeed, that the republicans owed Newberry. It was up to them to discharge it. They did.
 Take Case to People
 And now the democrats are going 10 the people. They will illustrate to them how the republicans play politics, how they have lost pride in the greatest lawmaking body in the world" and how they are willing that the rich come to Congress ir- respective of the method
 ( The democratic national commit ytee will send to all the people speeches of democratic Senators against Newberry. The democratic cause is especially strong in that

BACKACHE IS D|SCOURAG|NG
But Not So Bad If You Know How
to Reach the Cause.

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Blackfoot people recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills. Ask your
neighbor!
James Nunley, prop. blacksmith
shop, R. F. D. No. 1, Blackfoot, says:
"Shoeing horses and the other heavy
work, brought on kidney complaint
and my back was SO lame and sore I
could hardly work. The kidney Sc
cretions passed too freely and were
highly colored. Doan's Kidney Pills
were the only remedy to help me and
they relieved me in a short time. I
have great faith in Doan's."

he could see man in the act Of
