Newberry slush fund hint surfaces in Detroit leader claim
Detroit political figure Milton Oakman was teased as a possible kicker or realist after he told Henry Montgomery that the Newberry committee offered him twenty thousand six hundred ninety dollars for backing the junior Michigan senator. Testimony showed not all workers profited. Burr, Smith, and Brown referenced sums and promises, while Oakman denied receiving money. The trial sped along as government witnesses and cross examinations rolled, focusing on grand jury notes and President party ties.

Socialists Face Questioning On Budgets And Bullets
In Albany on November 20 Morris Hillquit socialist leader warned that control of the U S government by socialists could come peacefully but said the people might resort to some shouting if the profiteering class resists reform. He testified before the assembly judiciary committee amid an inquiry into suspended assemblymen. He and other party figures argued the socialist program relies on legislative action and peaceful methods. Hillquit and supporters condemned violence while noting occasional desperate moves when privileges are threatened and reform is blocked. Otte Brandstetter said only about one percent of dues are from aliens, seven percent from American born members. The questioning covered the party stance on war and patriotism, with socialists claiming opposition to aggressive actions but no obstruction of the war effort.
