Assails Edwards's Wet Talk
Anti-Saloon Lacquer Says Jer-
sew Governor SDeaks Treason

ONv OOVOA AAOA ~ RN~~A>t1 = O~AoOAA
The Rev. DR.. Frank J. Rockey, ma
tional chairman of the Anti-Saloon
Leagues speakers bureau, took a
thrust at Governor Edwards and his
state last night at the First Methodist
Church, Hoboken.
II don't know why when the Buford
sailed from these shores with Emma
Goldman and other radicals the COM
mander forgot to take along Governor
Edwards of New jersey" said the
speaker. "He's speaking treason
against the United States and against
the United States Constitution. If his
bill for 4 per cent brew is passed l
wonder what the United States gov
ernment will do about it,"
A little later In his address Dr.
Rockey told what the government
would do. Government officials had
told him, he said, the government was
going to enforce the Volstead act on
Governor Edwards and New Jersey.

He pitched in the Fairmont League

wierd ones to the very men who
will compose the Legion nine here

ball then and he knows what to
use against his fellow.leaguers now.
He doubtless will make a Grea.
