It credits Marines and authorities for keeping the peace, cites arrests of a radical linked to the Wall Street blast, and argues Americans oppose revolution, supporting orderly labor rights over violence.

Newberry Case Verdict Reverses Federal Corrupt Practices
The Supreme Court reversed Senator Newberry of Michigan on the federal corrupt practices act, ruling the law unconstitutional. The decision centers on the law’s validity, not whether his election involved corrupt spending to defeat Henry Ford. Testimony cited enormous sums spent by Newberry and associates, with the defense not contesting it.

The piece argues federal control of final elections risks Congress overreach amid a strong guilt case, and says the corrupt practices act arose from concern over money buying office. It profiles Senator Newberry as a wealthy, machine-aligned candidate and notes Ford’s money as a factor. The court decision may spur a new anti bribery bill as lawmakers fear publicity over campaign expenses.
