EDWARDS GIVES
Nd LIGHT UPON
WET PREAMBLE
As Outlined by Senator Brown,
It Challenges Federal Plan
To ACT ON STATE LAWS
Says Referendum Of People
Supersedes All Action of
State Legislature
By The Associated Press.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 29.-Gover-
nor-elect Edward l.. Edwards, who was
elected on wet" platform today de-
clined to comment on the preamble to
an anti-prohibition bill to be present
ed to the State Legislature next
month.
The preamble as outlined by State
Senator Thomas Brown, OF Middlesex
county, challenges the right of the
federal government to over ride state
laws.
Mr.. Edwards said he believed in the
idea that a referendum vote of the
people Supercedes all action Of state
legislature. He declared that mem
bers of congress and state legislatures
derive their powers to enact laws by
the consent of the people and have no
constitutional power to overrule the
will of the people expressed by ref
erendum vote at the polls.
Announcement of Terms
First announcement of the terms of
the proposed anti-Prohibition bill
which is to be presented to the next
Legislature in fultillment of the cam
paign pledges of Governor elect Ed
ward /. Edwards of New Jersey has
been made by State Senator Thomas
Brown of this city. He will have
charge of the bill as minority leader
of the Senate.
The preamble to the new bill, Sena-
tor Brown said, will provide that:
Whereas the Eighteenth Amend
ment has not been ratified by the State
of New Jersey, and whereas 1t is
doubted by the State whether the
amendment was passed in a constitu-
tional manner, and since. further the
State of New Jersey is about to test
ltheavalidity of the Volstead Enforce
ment Act passed pursuant to the
Eighteenth Amendment, and since the
State Government considers that it has
concurrent power under the amend
ment, even If it is held valid, TO pass
an enforcement act of it's own, it in
tends to disregard the Volstead act
and pass a new enforcement law
which will be supreme within the linz
it's of the State of New Jersey.
This amounts practically to a dec
laration that q State Government has
the power to override a Federal stat
ute already in existence.
| The theory upon which Governor
elect Edwards and his helpers are
working, Senator Brown said, is that
the Eighteenth Amendment gives
Congress and the states equal power
in the enforcement of the Prohibition
amendment and that the Congress
sional enactment applies only where
there is no State law in effect. But
the States have complete intraterri-
torial sovereignty except where they
| havo given 1t to Congress, the Sena-
tor holds and therefore If the state Of
New Jersey chooses to pass law un-
lder th1GEighteenth Amendment which
conf1icts with the Volstead Act the
latter will have no validity In New
Jersey.
