Dry leaders are firm IN their conten-

amendment relative to prohibition. In
this connection, however, a peculiar

Soldiers Ballots May Decide
Results in Four Upstate
Districts

Late returns from congressional dis
triots In the State where fights were
waged by the rival Republican and
Democratic forces indicate that the
soldier vote may be necessary TO deter
mine the result.
In the Sixteenth District. where Con-
gressman John V. Lesher sought n
fourth term, the result is unusually
close. Lesher has n lead in the district
of 147 votes over A. w. Duy. his Re
publicen opponent, and 400 soldier votes
are yet to be counted.
The Democratic state Committee con-
tends that the bulk of the soldier vote
will be Democratic. Duy carried Mon

WOULD CONTEST EDGES SEAT
Nugent Declares Governors Elec.
ton to Senate Is Illegal

New York. Nov. flames r. Nugent,
Democratic leader of Essex County, pro-
poses to take some of the JOY out of
life for Walter T. Edge, New Jerseys
Republican Governor, by testing in the
courts the constitutionality of Mr.. Edges
election on Tuesday to the United States
Senate for n term OF SIX years. He
also intends. he says, to file with the
United States Senate n protest against
the seating of the Senator-elect.
Mr.. Nugent contends that IL Is

ton for q Governor to be elected to II
State or a Federal office during hie
term. Edward W. Gray, one of tho
Governors rivals for the senatorial nom.
nation, raised the same question durine
the primary campaign, but apparently
II did not do any good. Just prior
to election Governor Edge made public
the opinions Of several eminent New
Jersey lawyers that he was eligible to
hold the office II he got II.
The Constitution says. Nor shall he
(the Governor) be elected by the Legis-
lature to any office under the govern
uent of this State or of the United
States during the term for which he
shall have been elected Governor"
The lawyers raised the point that as
New Jersey Legislatures do not elect
United States Senators any Longer
(voters now elect), he was not forbidden
by the Constitution to move from tho
Governors chair to the United States
Senate.
