Prohibition Chief Issue at Polls,
With Democrats Taking
"Wet" Stand
REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT

Trenton, n. j.. Nov. 4.-The chief
issue in the New Jersey elections today
at which governor and state Lcgisla d
ture will be chosen is prohibition. An
unusually heavy vote is forecast.
State Senator Edward I. Edwards,
Democratic candidate for governor, in
his campaign speeches declared he fav-
ored 'liberal" enforcement Of the
4 prohibition amendment and that II
elected, he would Use all the legal ma
chinery at his command to make the
state wet.
Newton A. X. Bugbee, state comp
troller, the Republican gubernatorial
nominee, who, in his speeches, said
the question was federal and not n
state issue, was supported by the pro
hibition forces.
Another question that aroused wide
interest was the woman suffrage amend
ment-the Republicans favoring sub
mitting It to the Legislature for adop
tion or rejection while the Democrats
called for immediate ratification.
Newton A. X. Bugbee, Repub
lican nominee for governor. closed his
campaign with whirlwind tour
of Burlington county jumping back to
Republican state headquarters in New
ark in the evening.
''I shall be elected. 1t is only
question of majority. The revolt

and defiance of the federal government
Is "a decisive indication of the swing Il
public sentiment against sedition and
anarchy" Mr.. Bugbce declared as ht

Newark.
Atlantic City, Nov. 4.-Uncertainty
as to sincerity of the threat made by
followers of former leader Louis
Kuehnle that they would bolt the Re
publican camp and put their support
behind Edwards at the election today
is cause much concern among the Or
ganiZatiun managers. They say there
VISA a possibility of the Republican ma
jority dropping down as low as 5000 in
Atlantic county instead of the robust
normal majority of around 5000. which
they had been hoping to put over for
Bugbee.
Kuehnle, miffed by the failure Of
Bugbee to address his faction during
!. the Republican gubernatorial nominee s
only visit here and the oversight of the
Organization leaders in not inviting the
Kuehnle wing to participate in the
mass meeting that Bugbee did address
has announced that he will not bc
active today, but his ward lieu
tenants declare that 90 per cen
OF his followers will cast thei
ballots for Edwards. The move ha!
seriously involved the situation her,
and the Organization campaign direct
ors are making every effort to placat,

Special Term Lee
Superior Court

Lee County Superior COURT Nov
ember adjourned term) convened
Wednesday morning; Judge z. A.
Littleiohn presiding.
This is the first session of the
Court to be held in the new court
house and Judge Littlejohn, in his
charge to the grand jury took occa-
sion to compliment the county and
especially those who had the erec~
ton Of the Court house directly in
charge upon its imposing beauty.
He said it represented the attitude
of the citizens of the county in
their respect for the law.
The Judge said that the great
majority Of the people were law
abiding and on accout of a very
small minority court houses and iails
had to be built and courts run. 1t
would seem that to sit en- the bench
in the investigation of crime as long
as Judge Littleiohn has would cause
man to lose his respect for hum
anity, but not so with him he has
great faith in and aespect for the
people.
Only criminal cases are being
tried at this term of court, the civil
docket being carried over until the
regular May term. There are several
murder cases on the docket.
Judge Littlejohn remarked in his
charge to the grand jury that there
was going to be different times in
this country, that important chang
es were bound to follow the war,
the millions of enlisted and drafted
men would soon come back with
greater respect for discipline, order
and system which would tell greatly
upon the life and business Of the
country. His charge was not
lengthy but very impressive.
