Newberry Target
OMJroadsiilc hv
Senator Kcnyon
'Entire Election Tinted," De
dure Iowanju Fiery Senate
Speech "Rule of the
People Is Gone,'
Washington, lift. 21. Declaring
lite money spent in Senator Newber
ry'i campaign (or election to the scn
ide from Michigan shows the "en
tire election to be tainted," Senator
Kenyon, republican, Iowa, asserted
in speech in the senate today on
the Ford-N'ewbrrry election contest
that if that body voted to eat. the
Michigan nun it would be "under
mining the foundations of thi gov
ernment." "Tin rule of the people Is gone,"
Senator Kenyon said, "if the senate
jmtifiei the expenditure of hundreds
of thousands of dollars to secure a
beat here."
While the federal act limiting cam
paign expenditure has been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme
court since the Newberry campaign,
the senator declared it was in effect
at that time, and so, he added, "we
(uid the common laws, the federal
statute and the state statutes viola
ted. , the latter Openly, notoriously
so." The record shows an expendi
ture of "at least $203,000," Senator
Kenyon .'aid, adding that "the plain
inference from the testimony is that
a much larger sum was expended."
"If the record showed the expen
diture of a million dollars for Mr.
Newberry," Senator Kenyon con
tinued, "I believe the senate still
would seat him.
. Social Lobby.
"The social lobby has been ac
tive in this case and the social
lohby is effective. No argument here
is going to change any votes. The
matter is pushed at a time when the
country can know but little about it.
If Mr. Newberry were a democrat
he would be promptly voted out un
der this record. Some of the demo
crats would be found stoutly defend
ing him.
"I deny that the Newberry case is
any test of republicanism. I deny
that the 7,000.000 majority of the re
publican party last fall was a vindi
cation of any such methods. I deny
that the day will ever come when
Lorimerism and Stephensonism and
Newberryism will be a test for re
publicanism. The day has not yet
arrived when a few gentlemen in the
senate of the United States can de
termine what republicanism is. If so,
God save the republican party.
"The people oi the country do not
endorse the large expenditure of
money in campaigns. Last year the
republicans did not dare nominate
either General Wood or Governor
Lowden because of the enormous ex
penditures in their campaigns. One
of the great contributing causes to
the nomination of Senator Harding
was the clean account sheet that he
showed in his campaign.
Press Subsidised.
"A large part of the press of the
Mate was subsidized in the ' New
'ierry campaign. At least $140,000
was spent for publicity purposes.
Two hundred and one papers were
secured.
"Mr. Ford is brought in as a smoke
, creen in the matter.
"Ford will rot secure this seat. If
Ford ever said the things that have
been 1 charged he said about the
American soldiers he should not have
t seat in this body. I want to know
the truth about this before I form
n opinion, as I doubt if he ever
said the things that have been
ihargcd.
i "I realize that the stage is com
pletely set, for this performance. The
senate today does not stand any too
,cll with the people of the United
states. When the brand ot approval
vai. put upon the Stephenson cam
paign in Wisconsin the senate suf
fered in the opinion of the country.
When the brand of approval of the
Newberry campaign is now placed
' by the senate upon his seat it will
suffer still more. The price of sen
atorial seats has been going up, and
if it keeps going up it will surely
reach the $500,000 mark in the next
10 years."
Asserting the pending action of the
senate "will not be the last of the
Newberry case," Senator Kenyon de
clared "the day is coming it will be
heard in another court the court of
the great American people."

Christmas Spirit Is
Evident in Grand Island
Grand Island, Neb.. Dec. 21.

the Christmas spirit been more gen

possible otherwise. '
An innovation has been introduced
by Mayor Ellsberry, who has con
sented to the removal of the globes
from all of the 12 silent intersecton

trees attached in their places. Elec
tric connections illuminate all the
trees at night and add a decidedly
festive appearance to the business

Davis Will Seek Right
To Water for Irrigation
(Continued From Faga On.)
additional revenue on, hundreds of
thousands of acres because we can't
get the water," Davis said today.
Colorado claims the right to use
as much water from these rivers
as it can get from authority to that
effect vested in its original consti
tution and O. K.'d by congress at
the time Colorado became a state.
Wyoming claims a law exists
which vests it and all other states
with a just proportion of water from
rivers entering its borders.
The government, which has filed
an intervening petition, asserts pow
er should "be invested in it to han
dle the situation through its recla
mation service..
Favors Government Plan.
Davis is inclined to favor the gov
ernment attitude and intends td
work towards getting the govern
ment to build a reservoir in Wyom
ing which will hold sufficient North
Platte river water in reserve to
make crops certain on hundreds of
acres of Nebraska land which in
past years have suffered from
drouths.
Colorado has offered to arbitrate
the. row over the South Platte river
by building a big retaining dam. or
reservoir, near the Nebraska land
and hold flood waters in reserve un
til the crops in Nebraska need it.
Davis says the logical place for
the North Platte irrigation ditch is
at Lexington, Neb., which, he de
clares, is geographically situated so
tb water held in reserve under his
proposed Wyoming reservoir would
be earned to Phelps, Kearney, Har
lan, Adams, Franklin and Webster
counties.
Arguments before the United
States supreme court at Washing
ton January 4 will mark the fourth
time this problem has been present
ed to that court without a decision.

known as a price cutter and was do
ing a considerable business. The
sheller was located in a field away

bustible nature, and auto and foot

plainly visible, there is no doubt as
to the incendiary nature of the fire.

Prof. Stockley of Cork university,

"Education based on dishonor!
You will take an oath you don't

He declared he opposed this course

Omuhans Protest
Rate Increase
For Telephones
Making Wartime Surcharge
Permanent Opposed by
Business Firms Forced
To Economize.
Lincoln, Dec. 21. (Special.)
More protests against the attempt
of the NorthweMern Hell Telephone
company to increase its rates 10 per
cent, which virtually means that the
10 per cent wartime surcharge
would be continued, were received
by the state railway commission to
dav. J. A. Kuhn, traffic manager of the
Omaha Grain exchange, has written
asking whether the new rate sched
ule demanded meant (till heavier
tolls for the exchange. The com
mission is unable to give the desired
information oft'hand until its rale
experts conclude their investigation
of the application and ascertain just
how it will affect various subscrib
ers. Forced to Retrench.
The following, in part, is a letter
received from Iceland W. Scott of
T. C. Brunner & Son, 1102 Dodge
street, Omaha:
"With all business suffering a de
pression which already has swept
away a large number of firms, with
those who still continue to hold on
cutting expenses here and there and
sacrificing profits, we cannot recon
cile ourselves to the advance in rates
asked for by the telephone company
in order to assist it in declaring a
big fat dividend, as long as business
is making strenuous efforts to just
hold on."
W. Whitakcr, 206 Arthur building,
Omaha, in speaking of previous ad
vances in phone rates, says:
Higher Than Other Cities.
"As an illustration our office
telephone today, without an exten
sion, costs $9.90 a month, whereas
some five or six years ago it was ?6
a month?
"Why should we pay more than
Denver, Kansas City, Minneapolis
and St. Paul?" ,
The commission welcomes opin
ions on requests for rate increases
or decreases from everyone, as often,
when hearings are held, no one is
present from outside excepting the
applicant.

Liang Shi-Yi Appointed
Head of Chinese Cabinet
Pckin, Dee. 21. (By A. P.)
Liang Shi-Yi has been named pre
mier of the Chinese cabinet to suc
ceed Chin Yun-Peng, who with all
his ministers resigned Sunday. The
fall of the cabinet followed the arri
val here of General Chang Tsao-Lin,
governor of Manchuria, who now is
engaged in forming a coalition gov
ernment in which all the reactionary
parties are participating. It is
charged that Chin Yun-Peng was
guilty of peculations and the sale of
offices.
The new premier is credited with
having inspired the attempt by Yuan
Shi-Kai to create himself emperor in
1915. Among those in General
Chang's following are Wang Chan
Yuen, former military governor of
Hupeh, and Chang Chin-Yao, who
was governor of Hunan province at
the time of the murder of Rev. W. A.
Reimert, an American missionary, in
June, 1920. The American legation
demanded that he be held responsible
for the crime. The legation is said
to be preparing a protest against his
presence in Pekin, at the present
time.

Polite Bandit
Robs Passengers
On Rail Coach
Gentlemanly Holdup Raids
Observation Car. in Chicago
Yanls Kscapes in Auto
Driven by Woman.
Chicago, Dec 21. Police today In
vestigated a report that a well
dressed bandit of fine manners who
single-handed held up observation
car passengers on the Chicago
Washington on the Baltimore k
Ohio system on Chicago's south
i( late last night, had escaped in
an automobile driven by a woman.
Children skating on a pond at 67th
street said they saw the robber leave
in a car which had been parked be
neath the railroad viaduct.
The bandit boarded the observa
tion car at the 63d Street station
and forced the passengers to stand
in line. After robbing four men he
reached Mr. and Mrs. Herbert L.
siiansbury of Tccunicari, N. M., and
their three small children.
"Madam," he said, "will you please
take the children to the other end
of the car. I am not interested in
any valuables a woman may have,
and I do not want to frighten chil
dren. If you please."
As Mrs. Stansbury anil the chil
dren obeyed his request he relieved
Mr. Stansbury of his pocketbook.
As he continued down the line of
passengers, the conductor appeared
at the front end of the car.
"It's quite possible," he told his
victims, "that the conductor is
armed. If he is not he can call men
who arc. That would mean shoting,
and some of you might get hurt. 1
don't want that to happen, so I will
leave you."
He jerked the emergency bell rope,
backed through the door, and as the
train .slowed down, leaped over the
rail and disappeared.
