«koM right to l pia^e In the Mn«u
Km hern i »uhj«rt of long and hitter
controversy. ha* suhmittad hi* resig
nation with a request that it become
effective Immediately.
In a letter to Governor Groeaback,
mad* public here tonight, Mr. New
harry said he had bean Impelled to
retire voluntarily because of the de
feat of hla Republican colleague.
Senator Townsend, In the election
Novemher 7. The turn of event*, he
tald would make It "futile" for him
to attempt to continue hla public ser
vlre since ha continually would ha
"hampered by partiaan political per
secution."
H' viewing the outstanding feature*
of the controversy whleh grew out of
hla election four year* ago over
Henry Ford, hla Democratic oppon
ent, he declared hi* right to a neat in
the *enate had been "fully confirm
ed." He added that if. in the future,
there seamed to be opportunltiea for
public service, he would not heiitata
to offer himself to hi* atatc and
country.
The resignation brings to an end a
flpht which already h*s made politi
cal history and which it appeared
would he resumed early in the session
of Congress which begin* tomorrow.
Convicted in Michigan of a conspir
acy to violate election law*. Senator
Newberry appealed to the Supreme
court, which declared unconstitutional
the statute under which ha wa* ac
cused. The senate itself, after a
long investigation, finally confirmed
hi* title to a seat by a margin of five
votes. In the campaign ju*t closed,
the rase was an issue in many states.
A ropy of the letter of resignation
sent to Governor G rocs beck was de
livered today to Vice President Cool
Idge hy Walter R. Dor»ey, Mr. New
berry> secretary. Mr. Newberry
himself ia at hia homa in Detroit. The
letter to the governor, dated
her Id, *u aa followa:
"I tender herewith my realgnation
aa United States senator from Michi
gan, to take immedlata effect.
"I am impelled to take thia action
because at tha recent election, not
withstanding hia long and faithful
public service and hia strict adher
ence to tha baaic principles of con
structive Republicanism which I hold
in common with him. Senator Town
send waa defeated. While thia fail
ure to reelect him may have been
brought about, in part, by over four
years of continuoua propaganda of
misrepresentation and untruth, a fair
analysis of the rote in Michigan and
other atatea where friends and
political enemies alike have suffered
defeat, will demonstrate that a
general feeling of unrest waa mainly
responsible therefore:
"This situation renders futile fur
ther service by me in the United
States senate, where I have conaiat
ently supported the progressive poli
cies of President Harding's admlnia
tration. My work there has been and
'vould continue to be hampered by
partisan political persecution, and 1,
therefore, cheerfully return my com
mission to people from whom I re
ceived it."
Michigan'* Governor la
Seeking A Senator
Detroit, Nov. 20.—Senatorial quali
fication* of no fewer than a dozen
men prominent in the public life of
Michigan were being scanned today
by Gov. Al^x J. Groesbeck, seeking
a successor to Truman H. N iwberry,
who Sunday tendered hi* resigna
tion a* a senator from this state.
The governor meanwhile announc
ed that he intended to withhold a deci
sion until all interested parties have
had opportunity to be heard and
that he did not "propose to have
Michigan represented in the upper
home of Congress by a "figurehead."
In these words the governor took
occasion to put at rest reports that he
might appoint some one who could be
counted upon not to seek re-election
in 1924. so that the chief executive
himself could make the race for sen
atorial honor*.
"It has been said," the governor
declared, "that I should appoint
someone who will not run for re-elec
tion in 1924, so I could run myself. I
will do no such thing."
The governor's own idea of the
man required for the post is that be
should have the confidence of the
public, he ufaL "He should he some

Anti-Lynck Sentiment
Growing In Georgia
Atlanta, Ga., Not. 18.—That that*
hu been a surprising increase at
antl-lvnching sentiment in Georgia
recently and a growing determina
tion on the part of Georgia people
that the sanctity of the Law moat
be upheld, waa clearly indicated la
reports made to the State Committee
on Race Relations in its recent semi
annual meeting in this city.
It was pointed out that during ttea
present year twenty-two indictments
have been returned againkt alleged
lyncher* and four convictions secured
carrying penitentiary sentences. Fif
teen of these cases are still to be
tried, most of them on the charge of
murder, besides a number of damage
suits growing out of injuria* and
losses inflicted by moba. In on
lynching caae both the deputy sheriff
and the chief of police are under in
dictment.
The significance of theae facta
was emphasized by the statement
that in the 37 year* ending with
1921 there had been 430 lynching*
in Georgia and that record of only
one indictment in all that time had
tx>en found.
The State and county race rela
tions committee have been active
in a number of recent caae*. eon
ducting investigations, securing evi
