JUDGE KENYON vs. FORMER
JUSTICE HUGHES III

of Senator Newber1y s5more remark.
able fofswhat it omitted than for what
it included. r.,
Secretary Hughes omitted to state
that the sum admittedly spent by the
Newberry forces was near 5000, 900, al:
though, they were charged with having
expended much more.
He omitted to state that Newberry
had been convicted before republican
Judge by republican jury in a repub-
lican state of violation of the corrupt
practices act, then in full force and
effect. !
He omitted to state that the decision
of the supreme court multiplying the
corrupt practices act as applied to the
senatorial primaries did not attempt to-
decide the merits of the case.
He omitted to. state that Senator
Newberry refused to appear before
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions to answer the charges against
him.
He omitted to tell Of the destruction
of Gewberry campaign records and the
spiriting away of Newbery henchmen
beyond the reach of court.
He omitted to state that after the trial
and conviction in a federal court new
evidence was found and used in the
trial of Senator Newberry before the
senate-evidence of most damaging
character.
He omitted to state that nine repub-
Gcan senators voted to unseat Senator
Newberry.
He omitted to state that Senator New
berry had been retained in his seat by
only five majority Of the senate, and
that this majority was made possible
by the passage Of a resolution con-
demning the expenditures Of the New"
berryites as "contrary to sound pubic
policy, harmful to the honor and dig
nifty Of the senate, and dangerous to
the perpetuity of free government. -
HeTomitted to say word IN con-
demnation of this expenditure which
a republican senate condemned.
Not long ago Secretary Hughes re-
signed from the supreme court of the
United States to re-enter active pollt-
ical life. Not long ago William S. Ken
yon resigned from the senate OF the
United States to sit as a judge of the
circuit court Of the United States.
We commend to the attention of Sec
rotary Hughes, abandoning "a judicial
life for a political one the following
sentences from a speech in the senate
by William S. Kenyon, abandoning
political life for judicial one: ~..s
"This will not be the last of the
Newberry case. You cannot brush q
side a thing of this kind. It goes to
the very fundamentals of the govern
ment. The people Of this country, who
love their governme1t, are jealous OF
its integrity and hate the corrupt1ne
influences that purchase seats in con
gress.< The day is coming when TINS
case will be heard in another court
the only court, save the supreme court
with higher jurisdiction, and That is
the court Of the great American people
Thank God for the folks at home!
Thank God for the men and women IN
the factories and on the farms and
around the fresides Of this country
who will eventually determine this
question: .~-~
Senior Kenyon, now Judge Kenyon
anticipating the vote to seat Newberry
also said: my God! You never car
lessen the dignity Of the senate after
today - +
May It'll not now be said with equal
truth :!a' You can not lessen the dignity
of the great office of secretary Of state
after today7
