TELLS WHOLE STORY OF NEW
BERRY SCANDAL.

The summarized story of the New
berry, scandal fills the entire number
of the current issue of the Search
light, the independent monthly pub
lished in Washington. 1t gives the
main facts of the case from the be-
ginning, reviewing the main features
of the trial of the case before the
Senate, in which it says Newberry
was saved" and the Senate dis
graced." Among other things it
analyses the vote of each individual
Senator record worth preserving
by every voter.
"Newberryism Means Death To
Democracy" is the title of power
full editorial by Lynn Haines, the
editor. The main features of the
Senate debate are recorded, includ-
ing the main points made in the
great speeches of the Democratic
Senators, Walsh of Montana, Pom
creme, Reed, Hitchcock, King, AS
hurst, Robinson, Mcclellan, Tram
NELL Jones of New Mexico, Caraway
and others, with special reference
to- the splendid tactical speeches of
lio1in. Harrison and Trammell, who
We're in first line position in the de-
bate; also the damaging speeches to
Newberry made by the Republican
Progressives, Borah, Norris, Ken
yon, La Toilette, and Jones of Wash
ington. There are liberal extracts
from many of these speeches.
The manner of the defense of
Newberry by the reactionaries is
told, and the infamous Willis reso-
luton which said that the manner
of Newberry's election was "dan-
gerous to the perpetuity of free
government" but provided for seat
ing the beneficiary, is thoroughly
dissected
1t is a wonderful and comprehen-
sive story of the greatest and most
infamous political scandal in the
history of the United States. 1t
ought to be in the hands of every
man and women voter in this coun-
try, because when the honest and
decent people of this country know
the sordid and degrading facts, it
may be assumed that they will do
all that is necessary to, reverse the
verdict of the Senate majority and
r" tore the honor of the Senate and
the country by declaring that seats
in Q United States Senate shall not
- up for sale.

Foreign Advertising Representative
THE AMERlCANP PRESS association
SENATOR KENYON'S APPOINT
MENT.

President Harding's most effec-
tive move so far against the agricul-
tural bloc was his appointment OF
Senator William S. Kenyon (Rep.,
Iowa), the leader of the bloc, to a
Federal circuit judgeship, thus taxi
ing the "Ken" out of the ''Ken-Cap-
Khan" as Senator Pat Harrison wit
tily put it. In point of ability high
character and public service render
ed Senator Kenyon measures up
fully to the appointment, but there
are other phases of the matter upon
which public opinion will not be so
we'll agreed.
From the viewpoint of reactionary
Old Guard politics, the President
can be credited with piece of ad-
r0it strategy in his efforts to destroy
the agricultural bloc by Turing away
it's leader with the one prize upon
which it was known his ambition
was set. 1t is serious, but not an
irreparable loss to the agricultural
bloc. There are many leaders in
that determined group of men
Their greatest danger now is that
others may not be any more proof
against temptation to leave theil
famer constituency in the lurch
than was Senator Kenyon, and the
President has many attractive Offices
yet to be filled.
A crisis exists in the agricultural
industry, but this is not the crisis
with which President Harding Is
dealing; his concern is about the
crisis which exists in the Republican
party. The strength of the agricul-
tural bloc has developed to point
where that group, standing together.
can control legislation by working
in harmony with the Democrats.
All the indicated policies of the
Harding administration are that
legislation shall be controlled by
the reactionary group, coming from
that section described by Congress
man Madden, Republican Chairman
Of the House Appropriations Com
mittee, as north of the Ohio River
and east of the Mississippi"
For the reactionary block to tri
umph it is necessary to destroy the
agricultural bloc or weaken it to a
point of ineffectiveness.
Senator Kenyon's appointment is
aimed directly at the agricultural in
terests as we'll as at the insurgeni
Republicans themselves. The Sen
ator had given notice that he woulo
speak on the Newberry case in al
his public addresses. AS a spokes.
man of the Progressives, as 3
scourge of the reactionaries, as an
eloquent voice of the agricultural
interests, he has been and would
have continued to be one of the mos
powerful influences in the land
Federal judges do not make public
speeches on the Newberry case or
-reactionaries or on any of the sub
jects of legislation which the sagri
cultural interests are demanding

silenced

The undersigned Railroad Com

your honorable body to act favor
ably on Senate Bill No. "a intro
duced by Hon. Walter Mitchell
which repeats the so-called full
crew law enacted in 1908. This
burdensome and wholly unneces-
sary law requires railroads to
man all freight trains Of 80 or
more cars with crews Of six men;
viz: | Engineer, / Fireman, ! Con-

crew comprises one more Brake
