Martin Explains Omission
Of Eyes" on Option Ballots

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Oct. 29-Secretary of
State Martin in a statement has de-
MED that there was n intentional
action in the failure of some of the
soldires' ballots to have the word
yes included in the section provided
for the local option elections to be
held in many of the municipalities
this year. Examination of the ballots
lead to the discovery that the word
mo-" which means wet" was plain
~ printed, but hat the word yes
which means dry had been omitted.
Mr.. Martin says that the missing
yes was the result of an error in
the printing of the ballots, which
were done in the Office of the Dispatch
Printing Company. of which he is an
official. AS soon as he learned of the
mistake he proceeded to have 1t cor
rected.
The secretary declared he was un-
ware Of the error until his attention
vas called to II Sunday morning. As
500 as he learned of 1t he ordered all
of the ballots with the word yes
missing destroyed. and started the
presses in his printing establishment
to print corrected tickets.
The ballots were printed on double
forms, producing two at one run of a
sheet of paper through the press. On
one form the word yes" was in its
place in the type and imprinted. On
the other a rule became loose, allow
ing the word yes to slip below the
level of the form. thus the word was
not imprinted on one set of the tick
cts.
In connection with the suspicion
attacked to this omission. Mr.. Martin
declared that he is not q wet" being
total abstainer and in favor of local
option.

Edge Flags Wilson Plea
and Urges Election Of Carson
By Special Correspondent.

81 Special C~orrespondenf.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 29-Qov-
ernor Edge made his fret appeal In
behalf of county and district candi-
dats here last night before an audi
ence thta was unusually large because
of the suddenly reawakened interest
in congressional politics.
The governor urged the election of
James A. Edgar, Republican nomi-
nee for state senator and the local
Republican nominees for the assem-
bly,, but he especially emphasized
the necessity OF Republicans In the
third congressional district standing
squarely behind Robert Carson for
congress.
Republication. the personal polit-
ical view of millions of loyal Ameri-
cans throughout the country, is ~
stake In the coming elections" de-
clared the governor. The national
head of the Democratic party has
publicly declared that Republicans
can have no voice in the coming af-
fairs OF the nation; that while we are
pro-war in our views and have been
qualified to dedicate our lives and
our money and our effort to the saliva
ton of the nation we are not compe-
tent Il help the president of the Unit
ed States make the laws and conduct
the general affairs of the nation. That
constitutes an astounding challenge to
Republicans, and I believe jersey Re-
publicans will meet the challenge
withou gloyes."

State Health Board Seeks
Power Of Enforcing Statutes
Bn Specia1 Correspondent.

DV DHcCtQt Correspondent
TRENTON, Oct. 29:-The State
Board OF Health at its meeting here
today received the opinion from the
attorney General as to its authority to
compel municipalities and recalcitrant
mayors to obey whenever the state au-
thorities issue a mandate placing a
quarantine on the communities of the
state to stop the ravages of an cpl
demic. Although the opinion was not
given out before the meeting, II Is un-
derstood that the Attorney Generals
Department will tell the State Board
that as the present health laws stand
there is no specific authority CIR the
Board to compel obeyance of its or
ders. This kind OF an opinion has been
anticipated for ONE time. and Is prob
ably the reason for tho failure OF the
State Board to take more drastic steps
against Mayors Gillen of Newark and
Hague of Jersey City for their recent
conduct in respect to the influenza
epidemic in those two cities.
Although lacking authority OF the
state the health authorities still feel
and maintain that any court would
uphold their right to place q ban on
the state and to enforce II whenever
they deemed that the health of tho
state vas at stake. General public
welfare. 1t is believed. would influence
the courts TO nOlu LnaL the bldto
Board of Health and the health on
cials under hat body were justified.
The officials also believe that, ire
spective of the question of legal au-
thority the public opinion OF the state
is solidly behind them in their efforts
to keep closed tight oil communities
which were ravaged by the recent
epidemic.
Now that the weakness of the
health statutes have been revealed
by the recent test. 1t Is expected that
the next Legislature will be requested
TO straighten them by remedial
amendments to the laws. and there is
no question that tie Lawmakers will
comply.
The quarantine is being lifted from
many of the communities OF the state
as fast as 1t Is reported to the health
authorities hat the epidemic has gone
down In these respective communi-
ties.
