SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1919 PAGE THREE NEWBERRY IS NOT WORRIED ~ IN PROBE OF HIS CAMPAIGN Least Concerned of Others Who Were Made Defend- ants After Victory DEFEATED HENRY FORD, BACKED BY WILSON Was Candidate on Ticket of Democrats and Republicans at Same Time (By United Press.) tigation of the campaign against : Grand Rapids, Mich.,, Dec. 20.— «Calmest of all those involved in the indictments resulting from the inves- . Henry Ford for the senate is Truman H. Newberry—the man about whom the whole fight centers. Charges and counter-charges have been made and reiterated. Support- . ers of Senator Newberry have de- i4.clared they are proud they were a elp in the campaign to beat Ford, and assert they have not violated the law in contributing or seeking funds to meet the expenses of the cam- paign. Senator Newberry, who beat Ford, millionaire automobile maker, after one of the bitterest campaigns ever staged in Michigan, was not new in politics when he entered the race. Al- though he had never before run for office, he had long been a telling force in Michigan politics and under President Roosevelt was assistant Secretary of the navy for three months. Defendants Mute. When Newberry and scores of his aides were arraigned before Judge Sessions here December 8, they stood mute, their attorneys explaining they had advised the defendants to stand mute as a plea of not guilty of tech- nical questions later. Judge Sessions assented and set the trial date for January 27, 1920. During the war, Newberry was commander of the Third N.val Dis- trict. He was one of the founders of the Michigan Naval Brigade and in the Spanish war he served successive- 1y as lieutenant, navigator and final- 1y commander. Yale Graduate. Newberry was born in Detroit, No- vember 5, 1864. He was graduated from Yale university and entered business as a railroad superintendent of construction. In later life he was connected in the development of many of the city’s industries and utilities. In Detroit social life New- Yerry maintains a high standing. In the campaign in which he beat Ford, Newberry did not participate actively. He wag still in the naval service at the time. His campaign was managed by many of his friends, most of them prominent in Detroit and other cities of Michigan. His campaign manager was Paul H. King, then head of the Red Cross in Michigan and now a referee in bank- ruptcy under federal court appoint- ment. ‘Ford Was Candidate. Ford was a candidate for the sena- torial nomination on both the repub- lican and democratic tickets. He was named by the democrats and faced Newberry in the general election. For a time following Newberry's victory there was only a rumor that his nomination and election had not been altogether ‘“‘above board.” The Tumor became more pronounced when in August, 1919, Earl J. Houck and Frank C. Dailey, special assistants to the attorney-general, arrived in Michigan. Dailey had been active in investigating several alleged frauds in Indiana municipal elections and the inference was drawn that he and Houck were here to prove the New- berry election. The two investigators worked; quietly, visiting banks; inspecting records and talking to ‘‘small fry” politicians throughout the state. Their evidence was submitted to the federal grand jury sitting ‘here, which, afier a four weeks’ session, re- tarned indictments against New- berry and 134 of his associates. First Iron Works. Plymouth was the first permanent white settlement in New England and dates its founding from the landing of the Pilgrims, December 21, 1620. ‘The iron works on the banks of the Saugus | river, established in 1643, were the - first fron works in America. A small fron pot cast there in the first forge in America is now the property of the city of Lynn and is in a glass case in the Lynn public library. f Subscribe for The Pioneer.

Few of them realize that their ailments are due primarily to disturbed nerve function that can easily be corrected so that they may be free of the nerve-racking, system-wrecking spells that make life miserable for them periodically. Most women can be strong, healthy, happy and vigorous, because their highly nervous and complex organism readily responds to Chiropractic Adjust- ments that offer a safe and effective means of restor- ing normal function. Chiropractic (Ki-ro-prak-tic) corrects the cause by adjuls,ting the spine and relieving the nerves of the bone pressure, which disturbs the nerve function. With the pressure removed normal function is restored and Nature builds up and strengthens the system. Acute and chronic cases are handled by Chiropractic in Nature’s own 'way. Operations, drugs and instruments are needless in Women everywhere are turning to Chiropractic for relief, because they find it not only effective, but free of the embarrassments of other methods. Every woman should investigate Chiropractic and learn what it can do for them in a health way. Drs.
