SENATOR NEWBERRY
RESIGNS UNDER FIRE

End to Long and Bitter Controversy.
Washington Nov. Ex-senator Tru-
man II. Newberry of Michigan, whose
right to a place in the senate has
been the subject of long and bitter
controversy, has submitted his resig-
nation with request that it become
Immediately.
In letter to Governor Groesbeck,
made public here tonight, Mr.. New
berry said he had been fmpelled to
retire voluntarily because of the de-
feat of his Republican colleague,
Senator Townsend, in the election No
Z. The turn Of events. he
said, would make it "futile" for him
to attempt to continue his public SER
vice, since he continually would be
"hampered by partisan political per-
secution,"
Reviewing the outstanding features
of the controversy which grew out Of
his election four years ago over
Henry Ford, his Democratic opponent,
he declared his right to seat in the
senate had been fully confirmed" He
added that if, In the future, there
seemed to be opportunities for public
service, he would not hesitate to Of
Ter himself to his state and country.
The resignation brings to an end a
fight which already had made political
history and which it appeared would
be resumed early in the session OF
which begins tomorrow.
Convicted in Michigan of conspiracy
to violate election laws, Senatort New
berry appealed to the supreme coHft ;
which declared unconstitutional the
statute under which he was accused.
The senate itself, after a long investi-
cation, finally confirmed his title to a
seat by margin Of five votes. In
the campaign just closed the case was
an issue in many states
A copy Of the letter or resignation
sent to Governor Groesbeck was de-
livered today to Vice president Cool
idge by Walter r. Dorsey, Mr., New
berry's secretary. Mr.. Newberry him
self is at his home in Detroit The
letter to the governor dated November
1S, was as follows:
II tender herewith my resignation
as United States senator from Michi-
gan, to take immediate effect.
II am impelled to take this action
of ~
his long and faithful
public service and his strict adherence
to the basic principles Of construc-
tive Republicanism, which / hold In
common with him, Senator Townsend
was defeated While this failure to
reelect him may have been brought
about, in part, by over four years Of
propaganda of misrepre-
sentation and untruth, fair analysis
Of the vote of Michigan and other
states where friends and political
enemies alike have suffered defeat,
will demonstrate that a general feel
ing Of unrest was mainly responsible
therefor.
: This situation renders futile fur
ther service by me in the United
States senate, where have consist
emily supported the progressive poll
cies of President Harding's adminis-
tration. My work there has been and
will continue to be hampered by par
tisan political persecution and there
