Congress Held to Have Authority to Regulate Election of Members and Nomination Also. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.. Jan. 12. Authority of congress to regulate not only the election of its members but their nomination was upheld by Fed eral Judge Sessions today in dismiss ing a general demurrer- to indictments against Senator Truman H. New berry, from Michigan, and 134 others charged with violation of the elec tion laws. As a result, the trial will commence as scheduled January 27. In arguing for dismissal of the in dictments defense counsel attacked the constitutionality of the general election laws and application to the present case of the mail fraud sec tion of the United States criminal code. Judge Sessions passed over the counts charging violation of the pos tal laws with the statement that any fraud, no matter what its nature, if the mails are used in its furtherance, comes within .the meaning of that section of the criminal code. Considering federal election laws in conjunction with the state stat utes, 'Judge Sessions declared "it is clear if they are valid that the re spondent, Truman H. Newberry, could not lawfully give or cause to be given any sum in excess of $3750, one-half of the annual salary of a member of congresA in procuring his nomination and election, and such sum could be expended for no other purpose than those enumerated in the statutes of Michigan." The indictment charged that be tween $500,000 and $1,000,000 was ex pended on behalf of Senator New berry in the 1918 campaign. TO BE BUILT UIPQIA GROWERS RE-ELECT DIRECTORS, LAY PLANS.
