CdSei IL lB the HepuDllCan party, IL
is not only Senator Newberry who is
charged with violating the Corrupt
Practices act Of the State Of Michigan,
but 1t is the Republican party"
Denunciation by Republican Progress
sives
OF the nine Republicans who voted
to uphold the honor of the Senate and
the nation and remained true to their
personal convictions by voting with
the Democrats against Newberry
(Borah, Capper, Jones OF Washing
ton, Kenyon, Ladd. La Toilette, Nor
beck, Norris and Sutherland) three
Of them made powerful and excoriat-
ing speeches against the methods en-
ployed in the Newberry campaign
Borah, Kenyon and Norris.
On the corrupt use of money in
politics, Senator Borah said:
This is the third time since have
been a member of the Senate in which
It has been charged, and, to my mind
proven that seats in this body have
| been secured by corruption. (The
Lorimer and Stephenson cases being
tho other two.) 1t Is the belief in
many quarters that these three in
stances by no means tell the whole
story. The fact is It is being made
more and more difficult to secure
seats here in any other way. Issues
are put aside, great questions are
pushed into the background and
money, the power OF money, is relied
upon to secure political honors. 1.
There was a Rome once go sordid, so
base and so corrupt that she has been
designated in history as Venal Rome
We point TO her as a revolving exam
pie Of political degeneracy, and to
to say that we have travelled further
I osay that we have travelled further
over the road of money In politics in
| 100 years than Rome travelled in 500
years. And with this shameless de-
bauch before us, with the precedent
established for which senators here
contend, who can feel other than dis
couraged with the outlook? There
is It seems, only one hope, and that
is to take our appeal from this tribu-
nal to the open forum (to the people), ,
where we must look for the final
judgment on all such matters, and
which judgment, I shall not doubt,
will be both righteous and drastic"
Here is Senator Norris eDitome Of
the Newberry election:
'They had rublic sale up in Mich
igan. The property that was placed
on the auction block was a seat in
the United States Senate. The sale
was public, the bidding was In the
open, and the property was knocked
down to the highest bidder. The only
question before the Senate is, Shall
confirmed?'"
With fine irony, tho Nebraska SEN
ator took fling at Presidential din
ners" and poked fun at Senator
Lodges whiskers. when he said:
"If we do not confirm this sale, the
first thing we know we will have a
lot Of poor men here. There will be
farmers in the Senate. bloc of
farmers whom you cannot control by
inviting them to a presidential dinner,
farmers with whiskers, yes. whiskers
that will put in the shade the beauti-
fully trimmed beard which adorns the
face Of our illustrious leader"
The gist Of Senator Kenyon's speech
has already been published in these
columns.

cd by the Edna Sentinel. An indig-

There was a story abroad in Wash

job in Washington lately and there are

half chance we shall have them all

a great personal victory for President
Harding, who, while the case was
pending in the Senate, showed much
social attention to Senator Newberry
at the White House, the theatre and
on the golf links. When the Senate
was about to take up the case for
final disposition the president let it
be publicly known that president
Harding holds Senator Newberry in
very high sesteem," thus making of
himself a voluntary character witness.
Both President Harding and SEN
ator Willis (Rop., Ohio) have denied
that the president had anything to do
with formulating the Willis resolu-
tion condemning the huge expendi-
lures in the Newberry case, but also
declaring Newherry entitled to his
seat, but it is not denied that Senator
Willis visited the White House before
presenting the resolution, and that he
| and the president talked OF the New
berry case. The Willis resolution,
which both condemned and condoned
the offense, and rewarded the bene-
ficiary Of the $263,OOO slush fund with
! seat in the Senate, is supposed to
have given NeUberry at least three
heretofore doubtful votes, which, IL
cast against him would have unseated
him by one majority.

not receiving that which is coming to
