Newberry is not the honest choice of the people of Michigan for senator. He is the choice of Votes influenced by cash. A few years ago Wesley L. dones was a young man aspiring to the senate, His opposition was an old time, ring politician who had lots of money. Jones won against money, as Paulhamus has pointed out. But, if there had fe been twice as much money against a dJones—as much as the Newberry > eampaign cost—Jones might not q have gone to the senate. i If the time ever comes when 2 Poor man cannot go to the United States senate, then this govern ment of ours will be ripe for dis- aster. This is a government by ALL of the people whether they are rich or poor. Whenever cash counts more than true worth and wealth buys public office, the very * purposes of the American revolu- tion and the American constitu- tion have been defeated. For this will not be a free country. Men who buy public office with ash, and men who vote to retain in office those who have bought their way in with money, are traitors to the spirit of the Amer- lean government, Dentists any teeth cause our worst ills, Must he right.

The Businesses That Fail KG, Dun & Co, credit investi gators, announce that American business failures in 1921 totaled 19,652. That iy = big death list But it shouldn't scare any one into the cyclone cellar, In 1915 there were 20596 fail ures, Nearty 000,000 firms were doing business in Amertea in 1921.
