The FL Paso Times just about hit

The Times says editorially
"The senate-that is the republican

Mr.. Newberry is pure and undefiled
though it is bitterly indignant at the
manner in which his seat was pur'
chased.
THE very souls OF those republican

but they vote Newberry in neverthe'

election methods merely as sop 10

ut is absurd to say the methods ot
the Newberry election are morally dis
honest and then seat Newberry.

to clear Newberry as to besmirch IT.

tical politicians who voted for New

anything would make them shudder

so horribly shocked at Lorimerism
and Stephensonism accepts Newberry-
ism. 1t taints itself 1t cannot go
before the country and pretend that
the clause expressing denunciation OF
Newberry methods expresses its con-
victions.
"The way to have expressed its dis
gust at the Michigan electors would
have been to declare Newberry's seat
vacant. II he wanted vindication let
him appeal to the electorate again.
"The republicans in Congress have
made a doleful record since President
Harding was inaugurated. They have
showed incompetence, vacillation and
a lack OF leadership, convictions and
ideals. Now they add political dis.
honesty.
"They have lost by death the ablest
man among them-and that man was
Penrose. Penrose would have voted
for Newberry, but he would have been
outspoken about IL and would not have
pretended that he was Mortified by

other word that fits them, because
their entire action has been disgust
ingly hypocritical in this matter-pre-
tend that they are politically honest

"They haven't cleared Newberry,

of dreaming of getting off with the
