and to manufacture at cost any war
 materials that the country needed
 and he did SO. 1 submit that to the
 Senate and the country in reply to the
 insinuations of the Senator from Con-
 nccticut that Henry Ford was a trait
 or 10 his country.
 "I submit in that connection. that
 MT. Newberry, of Michigan. was reD-
 resentins the Government in connec-
 ton with the Navy in New York. and
 at that time his firm, of which MT.
 Templcton, his chairman, was a mem
 Der, was selling thousands and hun dreds of thousands of dollars worth
 of material to the Government, and
 that they made profit on every dol
 lars worth that they sold In tic
 hour of the country's peril, when its
 very life was at stake, who contri-
 buted most to the winning of the war,
 Henry Ford, who made nothing off the Government, who would accept no profits and turned over all his in dustrial machinery to his Govern mcnt, or MT. Newberry, who was on the inside, and who, through his own firm, doubtless directed the sale of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of material at a magnificent profit? I will let the country decide which one of them was the best patriot in that time of trouble and danger.
 'I do not care whether a man was serving his country here at home or whether he had gone to the front and came back and became a candidate for the Senate and opened a money barrel and tapped other money sources and marshalcd a corrupt fund and went out into a State and and made barter of a seat in the Sen ate he had abandoned and deserted the course that he had previously and in honor pursued, and instead of be- ing then the friend of the country he had become the country's bitter foe. There is not any getting around that.
 "I am not surprised at the speech Of the Senator from Connecticut. j ator from Connecticut personally is a | very clever gentleman. He is, un- 1crStand, a man of great wealth, and l he Senator has shown to the Senate | T 1 | Il, l., 1, taken today his own conception of just l what seat in this body means.
 "The effect of his statement is if a l nan wants to spend money for a seat 1 lerc, why, let him do it. That means hat Ii a poor man of merit is a can 1idate and the special interests do not want him to come here, let them put ID the money and beat him. Why | not? That is the deduction you draw rom the speech of the Senator from Connecticut.
 T want to ask the western Sen ltors, are you going to accept this New England standard? Mr. New perry, from Michigan, is backed up by he Senator from Connecticut Is the standard that New England has now et LIP the standard that western Sen ttors heretofore have stood for2 What is going to be your judgment low? Are you going to accept that standard? l trust that you will not.
 MT. President, the Senator from Connecticut is unfair in his argu- ncnt He undertook to convince the Senate that the Supreme Court had MT. Newberry. The Stu ,remc Court never once touched up ,n the facts as to his corrupting the ballot and buying the seat. The Supreme Court is silent upon that ubiect Ii had no business to touch lpon that subject. It was touching lpon the subject of the constitution lity of the Federal statute which, by he sanction of this body, the sane ion of the House, and the sanction nd approval of the President, fixed O,COO, and no more, as the amount hat could be expended in a race for he Senate. It never said that MT. (ewberry was innocent. That state 1ent by the Senator from Connecti- ut can not be permitted to stand un-
