New- | berry, in the senate today, defended himself for the first time against the charge that his |seat there was “bought and paid for” thru extravagant use of campaign funds. | “As God is my witness,” said Newberry, “I am not to this day and hour conscious of | having done in connection with either the primary campaign or the general election of 1918 |a single act that was or is in any way unlawful, dishonorable or corrupt, and this I say to -| Assuming that Newberry the senate of the United States without reservation or qualification.” * e * * & *% + * Captain Harding Goes to Rescue (EDITORIAL) “President Harding holds Senator Newberry in high esteem.” That is the message which comes from the White House as the opening gun in the final battle to unseat “Michigan’s'*$200,000 beauty is fired in the senate, Just how desperate is the situation in which New- berry and his senatorial apologists find themselves as the date for the final vote approaches is indicated by Lad executive intervention in his behalf at the eleventh our. Were Newberry and his crowd not scared half to death the president would have been under no necessity of putting himself in this, to say the least, equivocal position, It must be a cause for great disappointment among the majority of the president's millions of friends thru- out the country that he has allowed himself to be dragged into this foul mess on the side of the man whose senatorial seat was bought and paid for. The president is known to be a good deal of a senti- mentalist whose loyalty to his friends is a marked trait. But beautiful as is the sentiment of friendship, it becomes a dangerous influence when it sways the action of the great presidential office against the public interest. has all of the delightful personal qualities with which his friends credit him, THE FACT REMAINS THAT POLITICALLY HE STANDS BEFO THE COUNTRY BRANDED AS A POLITICAL CORRUPTIONIST. A Newberry victory in the senate would set back for 20 years the struggle of the people to throw off the shackles of political corruption. If, in spite of law and morals, a multi-millionaire can buy his way’ into the United States senate and | then have his right to sit there sealed with the ap- | proval of the majority of that body, backed by the influence of the president, what more vicious precedent | could be established? | By lending his influence to the cause of political honesty. | or even by keeping silent, if he felt that the obligations | of friendship imposed silence, Mr, Harding could have added greatly to the prestige of the presidency and performed’ a-high public service. That he has taken the other course should make every self-respecting senator more determined than ever to repudiate the corruptionist methods for which Newberry stands by throwing him out of the senate. The people of this state look to Senators Jones and | Poindexter to vote a hearty ‘yes” on that question. ~~ BANDIT SLAIN.
