SENATOR NEWBERRY
RESIGNS ON EVE OF
SPECIAL CONGRESS
Xlchlgaa Senator Whose Term lias
Been a Stormy One Beslgns Be
cans of Defeat of 111a
Colleague.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 19. Sonator
Truman Handy Newberry, Republican,
resigned hie aeat In the United States
Senate today. His resignation was ac
cepted by Governor Alox J. Groesbeck,
who announced he had not desldcd on
a successor.
sir. Newberry's resignation ended a
stormy career fraught with court
actions, recounts, moy by the Senate
to unseat him, and finally by the de
feat of his colleague from Mlchlgau,
Senator Charles E. Townsend, Repub
lican, who attributed his own defeat
to his defense of Newberry.
Mr. Newberry also said be was
prompted to resign by the rebuke
given to Senators who voted to scat
him, at the last election, and the fact
that In the new Senate a move to expel
undoubtedly would pass.
The statement to the Governor lays
his decision to resign to the action of
the voters on Senator Townfflnd's can
didacy. He resigned on the eve of the
special seaaion of Congress after re
peatedly stating for tho Inst week that
he was "willing to art on the advice of
those who had bandied his candidacy."
Nr. Newberry was elected Senator in
1918. defeating Henry Ford, running
on the Democrat to ticket, by 7,000
rotes, in a bitterly contested struggle.
Ho also was returned victor In a re
count soon after the election.
Then Mr. Newberry and more than
100 of the workers who managed his
campaign were Indicted under the
United States corrupt practices act,
and Newberry, along with scores of
others, waa convicted and sentenced
to Leavenworth prison for two years,
and fined heavily.
On appeal this conviction was set
aaide by the United States Supreme
Court, on the ground that tho law was
unconstitutional, and Mr. Newberry.
who had not given up his seat during
the trial, was pressed by members of
the Senate to resign.
A motion to expel him was lost by
five votes.

Twice as Much Is Realized Than
Was hunt Year Drive Closes
Thanksgiving.
Reports from the workers In the city
of MaysviUe on the American Red
Cross Roll Call indicato that the cam
paign this year will be a decided suc
cess. If the county precincts do as
well as the city wards have thus far
done, and there is no doubt of this, the
campaign will net the great organiza
tion more than twice as much cash as
It did in 1921.
City precinct workors, during the
first week, collected more than two
and a half times as much money as
was collected during the entire cam
paign In the city last year and there
is left many days In which to pick up
the edges of the campaign.
A grand close will be brought to the
campaign In Mason county on Thanks
giving day and in many of the county
precincts, the workers are expecting to
devote their entire attention to a con
centration on this one day. There will
bo big Thanksgiving dinners served
and entertainments held and the pro
ceeds of these special efforts will be
contributed to the Red Cross.
The campaign Is by no means closed
and there is yet time for those who
have not been seen to make a contrl
button. Any of the directors or pre
cinct workers will be glad to enroll
you i.s a member of the organization at
any time.
