EDGE BELITTLES DEMOCRATIC
TROLLEY ELECTION ISSUE
Docs Not Believe Lasfonte Would
Make Court Decision n Matter
Of Campaign Material

~ SpccsdI CofrespoHdeHe
TRENTON, Oct 1S:-"T am not
going to Washington as United States
senator to settle trolley fares" de-
clared Governor Edge today in a
statement issued concerning the atti-
tude Democrats may take in the COM
ing campaign on the trolley issue.
IF our Democrats friends think
the public will be influenced for one
moment in selecting United States
senators and congressman by childish
partisan attempts to make a decision
of our courts or the public utility
commission a Democratic political
football, they grossly underestimate
the intelligence of the New Jersey
electorate" declared the executive.
81 do not think that my opponent.
Mr.. LaMonte. would attempt to ques-
ton a court decision as an argument
for his election to office, especially in
view of all the conditions surrounding
this trolley fare raise and particularly
the fact that It was made following.
and as a direct result of, the action
of the Federal War Labor Board in
determining the labor situation in
such q way as 70 assist In the winning
of the war" continued Governor
Edge. "Of course. you know the de-
cision was unanimous and President
Slocum, a very good and consistent
Democrat. therefore, must have voted
for It, and any statement that II is a
poltcal issue. Is, OF course, utterly
ridiculous"

GENERAL WOODS FAREWELL ID BETH DIVISION DESCRIBED Voice Trembled With EmO- ton as He Addressed Of ficers With Whom He
 Could Not Go

An American City, June 2.-'These are
 orders and the only thing to do is the
 best we can-all of us-to win the war" were the words of Major General Leon- ard Wood, in a farewell address to the officers of his late command, the S9th
 division of the national army, which he trained at Camp Funston for overseas service. General Wood had expected to go'to France at the head of this division. but at the last moment was ordered to Camp Funston to train another division. At the request of the troops, it was learned today General Wood, before de-
 parting for Camp Funston, reviewed the
 division at an army camp here and made
 a brief speech to the officers.
 T will not say good-by," he told them, and those who heard him said his voice trembled with emotion, but consider it a temporary separation-at least I hope so. I have worked hard with you and you have done excellent work. I had hoped very much to take you over to the other side. In fact, I had no inti-
 nation, directly or indirectly, of any change of orders until we reached here the other night.
 "The orders have been changed and I am to go back to Funston. I leave for there tomorrow morning. wish you the best of luck and ask you to keep up the high standard of conduct and work you have in the past. There is not any thing to be said. The orders stand and the only thing to do is to do the best we can-a1l of us-to win the war. That's what we are here for; that's what you have been trained for. I shall follow your career with the deepest interest; with just as much interest as though I were with you. Good luck and God bless you"
 Those who witnessed the review said the troops were never more on their mettle and gave an exhibition of per- feet marching for the benefit of their
