Michigan Senator and 123
Others Arraigned on Elec-
i tion Fraud Charges
BASED ON 1918 CAMPAIGN
Oram! Rantds. Mich.. Jan. 27.
i "United States Senator Truman II. New-
berry and 123 men prominent In Michi
gan politics went on trial in the Federal
District Court here today, charged witn
Conspiracy, fraud nnd corruption in the
1 1018 senatorial election. The import-
4 nni nf thi issue involved, the prom-
j Incnce of most of the defendants and
J the imposing array of legal talent pre
I saged one of the most notable cases in
i the legal annals of the state.
I Of the 135 men indicted Dy mo
1 federal grand jury last November, uino
nave entered pieas oi noio muiruwio.
the case of one has been continued
owing to illness, and another, upon
whom service, hai not been obtained,
was said to be in South America. Twenty-three
pleaded not guilty and 101
stood mute when arranged.
The government's case is iu charge
of Frank C. Dailey, former United
States district attorney at Indianapolis,
who prosecuted the Tcrre Haute elec
tion cases. Martin "W. Littleton, who
last week withdrew as counsel for the
New York assembly committee trying
the five suspended Socialist assembly
men, headed the legal forces of the de
fense, which are said to number about
fifty.
Aside from the defendants, the 135
Teniremen, attorneys, court attaches
and nine newspapermen, few were able
.to gain admittance to the opening ses
sions of the trial, and the little court
room of Judge C. W. Sessions had to
tie rearranged to seat these.
Wide Range or Indictments
The indicted men include every mem
ber of the committee that conducted the
Newberry campaign and state, county
and.municipal officials in virtually every
county from Lake Superior to the Ohio
border. ...
S The indictments charge violation of
j! both federal and state laws by use of
money and violation of the federal cor-
rupt practices act. Use of the mails "to
aeiraua an toe peopie oi .uicmsuu is
further charged against the campaign
committee. More than $100,000 of the
contributed fund, it is charged, was con
verted to the personal use of some of
the campaign managers.
James W. Helme. former state dairy
and food commissioner, who opposed
J Henry r ora lor tne uemocrauc nomi
8 nation in the senatorial primary, the
! Indictment alleges, was compensated by
S the Newberry organization for making
j the primary race. The alleged purpose
t was to prevent Democratic voters from
"lining up" with Ford in the Republican
primary.
5 Attached to the indictments is a ht
4 of more than twoscore "overt acts."
These contain charges that a number of
J those indicted had given rewards rang
3 ing from promises of a "good job" to
i payments of sums ranging from So to
$2750 in return for support in the New
l berry campaign. One country editor is
J alleged to have received a ton of print
5 paper.
Defendants Under Heavy Bond
J Senator Newberry and thirteen of
the- men who directed the camnaltn
work in 1018 appeared before Judge
sessions juccemocr s and on the advice
Of counsel stood muto. The right to
raise technical questions, it was stated,
would have 'been sacrificed by picas of
not guilty. Senator Newberry and
each of the thirteen men who appeared
with him were held In bonds of 510,000
and $5000 on tho first and second in
dictments, respectively.
The maximum penalty for tho of
fenses charged is a fine of $10,000
and two years' Imprisonment.
The possible duration of the trial
was variously estimated at from four
weeks to two months. Both the gov
ernment nnd the defense were expected
to call several hundred witnesses.

RADICAL

BOOK
URGES FORCE
Seizure of Industries Advo
cated in Pamphlet Road at
Assembly Hearing
WRITER OUTLINES TASK
By the Associated Press
Albany. N. Y.. Jan. 27. Proponents
of "the dictatorship of the proletariat"
bold that the first step must be .seizure
of ihe government by any means pos
sible and the taking over of industry
by force, according to a pamphlet read
today at the trial before the Assembly
judiciary committee of the five sus
pended Socialist assemblymen charged
with disloyalty.
The pamphlet, written by "Hall
Rogroff" and published by the Jewish
Socialist Federation of New York, was
translated from the Hebrew by Charles
M. Robinton, a Department of Justice
operative serving the joint legislative
committee investigating radicalism, who
was recalled to the stand today.
Purporting to give views of both pro
ponents and opponents, the pamphlet
asserted the former held preparation
must be made for "revolution" and
"class dictatorship." Upon the seizure
of the industries, they would run by
workingmen's Soviets, according to the
program.
The dictatorship was said to be
necessarily u temporary phase in the
transition from a capitalistic to a so
cialistic form of government.
"Socialists." the book set forth "seek
to enter into the government for two
reason, first, to be nearer the doors ot
the government counsels, and second, to
hinder this character of work in any
way possible. The first is the more im
portant as it gives the Socialist a chance
to see into the strategy of the govern
ment, thereby enabling him to carry out
his propaganda better. It is true that
not always is this aim reached. The
bourgeoisie atmosphere which he
breathes gradually infects him and he
begins to make compromise."
The pamphlet defined socialism as "a
Red movement, with blood in its veins,"
asserting that "in America we have had
only the echo of what happened in
Europe"; the stage here wag still one
of "theoretical discussion," the book
said, and there was "dauger the house
cleaning will not be as thorough among
us as it should be."
