"In passing through what appears to be one of the most
critical periods of readjustment there has fallen to the lot of the
Salvation Army perhaps the greatest responsibility In the history
of that organization. It has never ceased to serve where service
was needed. It is an active, efficient organization working con
tinually for suffering humanity. The Salvation Army commands
our respect and (reserves our financial support. I, therefore,
desire to make the most earnest appeal to the people of our
state to exert themselves to the utmost on behalf of the home

Opinion Holds Lower Court Erred in Dismis
sing Demurrer of Defendants Accused of
Violating Corrupt Practices Act; Sixteen
Co-defendants Also Freed; Two Justices
Dissent From Details of Ruling
Washington, May 2. Conviction of United States Senator
Truman H. Newberry in federal courts in Michigan for con
spiracy to violate the federal corrupt practices act was set
aside today by the supreme court.
The conviction of sixteen other defendants also was set
aside. The court held that congress was without power to
regulate primaries.
Justice McReynolds read the opinion to which Justice
McKenna dissented as to the power of congress but agreed as
to the decision.
Chief Justice White also dissented from the decision that
congress did not have power to control all elections but
agreed that the statute has been "grossly misconstrued."
Justice McReynolds said that the lower court erred in dis
missing the demurrer of the defendants.
"Obviously the corrupt practices
act covers also the primaries and
other preliminary acts preceding
an election," the court said. "The
one question here is whether con
gress may limit expenditures of a
candidate. The source of such
power is in section four, article
one, of the constitution. This gives
congress the power of regulating
the 'manner of holding elections,'
and not of 'elections.' "
White Disagrees.
Chief Justice White in his dis
senting opinion traced in detail
