Foes Gain Strength
Confident that as the result of the
| recent elections they had gained suf-
ficient strength to give them Il clear
cut majority. senators who voted last
January to deprive Mr.. Newberry of
his seat had planned to bring about
another vote on the question early in
the next congress and possibly to force
the issue to another vote before next
March 4.

visers are known to have urged MIR.

current that he was about to do so.

YER and a republican national commit
teeman, was urged to make the race
for the senate at the time Mr.. New
berry first went down, but Mr.. War
rem declined to do so because he felt
he could no. spare the time from his
law practice. and large business inter
