Get Newberry Issue Clear

The Newberry scandal Is growing day by day
That il is hurting shown by the distribution by the
defense of Newbery written by Secretary OF State
Hughes who was Newberrys lawyer when the u y SUI

court
At the time the senate voted to seat Newberry IL was
impossible whip a majority into line on sraight-out
vote II only after Senator Willis OF Ohio had disi
fected the mess that the senate holding its could
swallow the dose.
What Ex-Attorney Hughes says and what the sem
ate republicans said Tin the Willis amendment when
Newberry was seated should be read together at this
time
Mr. Hughes says:
sThe plain fact is that Senator Newberry was
wrongly and most unjustly convicted. and his eonvic-
ton was aside Endeavor TO establish violation
Of law on the part Of Senator Newberry completely
failed, and accordingly he stood a senator duly
elected by the state of Michigan and entitled to his
seat in the senate
Mr. Willis resolution as adopted by the senate said:
"The expenditure of such excessive sums In behalf
of candidate either with without his knowledge
and consent being contrary TO sound public policy,
harmful to the honor and dignity of the senate. and
dangerous to the perpetuity of a free government,
such excessive expenditures hereby severely con-
demned and disapproyed
The "Newberry issue this time Is not whether New
berry should be in the pententay in the senate The
issue is whether Newberrys presence in the senate vo-
htes the honor and the dignity of the senate. The

The charges were submitted to the
President, who sent them TO MIR. Work
for reply. His statement Is in the form
OF a letter to the President.
Although there is nothing in the law

Mr. Work points out that the President

made by the Postmaster-General for
recommendation to the President. who.

ITO say that there is no politics In

THE difference between the so-called

DEMOCRATS PICK TARIFF
AS MAIN CAMPAIGN ISSUE

Wilson has asked the voters Of Mis-
sissippi to keep him at home but the
chances now seem to favor his nomi-
nation. which is equivalent to election.
Republican leaders have their eyes
fixed on Maine and Massachusetts,
which are scheduled to provide line
on things political week after next.
The Maine State election is nationally
regarded as barometer of coming
events. Both parties are at it hammer
and tongs. with the chances favoring
the Republican candidates by a
greatly reduced majority.
Henry Cabot Lodge, the veteran
Senate leader, is picked as compara-
lively easy winner In the Massa-
chusetts primaries to be held week
from Tuesday. His opponent for the
Republican nomination is Joseph
Walker erstwhie Bull Moose leader
and candidate for Governor ten years
ago. Most of the organized Republi-
can agencies are supporting Mr..
Lodge. while Mr.. Walker is appealing
to the numerically uncertain progress
sive element.
Mr. Lodge does not appear to be
greatly concerned over the general re-
suits in November. when he will prob
ably be opposed by Col. William A.
CASTOR or Sherman l.. Whipple. For
reasons wholly obvious the Demo-
cratic national organization would
rather accomplish the defeat of Mr.
Lodge than any other candidate for
Congressional Office. Mr.. Lodge fully
appreciates this fact and. is admitted
to be guiding himself for the fight OF
