Why Not Impeach Gov. Edwards

Governor EDWARD L. dIQS HlGS-
sage to the Legislature on Tuesday
in his comment on the 'so-called Blue
Laws and the enforcement of moral
laws is in his usual view of more
iberalized' legislation. He says the
law is not enforced in some sections
because OF the sentiment 0. the Grand
Jury and the people.
Ills sympathy Is against the laws
of God, and more with the Atheist,
Who does not believe IN them, and his
oath OF office to support them by ap-
pointing officials to see that the laws
are enforced amounts almost TO per-
jufy. In his action on the liquor
question he is against the Constltu-
ton which he sWore to support and
Is with the ~pro-German Hun brewer.
his sympathy is more with the old
saloon Uum who wants i continental
Sabbath than an American Hebrew
puritan Sabbath OF rest from labOrs.
His political sympathy and playing
to the Goddess is evidence that he
wishes the United States to go back
to the conditions in Europe in IaWless-
ness and morality.
The ALTERATION of Blaine's Burch-
ard Rum, Romanism and Rebellion
never fitted an official IN the United
States better than Edward |. Edwards.
Jim Nugent and Billy Thompson's
tool Governor, George L. Werts, with
their boozey and race track gamblers
wrecked the Democratic party IN New
Jersey in 1898. Not until Jim Smith,
Jim Nugent and other down and out
ers. sought Woodrow Wilson to give
brains, character and prestige to the
party was it resurrected in 1910 and
made a virile force for progressive
moral legislation in the State and Ma
ton and, in fact, in world democracy,
in spite of Nugent's and Edwards OPP
position.
The party is now suffering from
their immoral blight as in 1893-191O.
1t would be a credit to the State
Senate and a benefit to the Demo-
cratic party for the Senate to i'm
peach Gov. Edward l. Edwards on
moral principles, of atheism and per-
Jury for not believing in nor using
his office to administer the highest
standard of government to maintain
"the settled policy of the State to pre-
serve the sacred character of Sunday,
as one of rest"
The pro-German booze forces elected
Gov. Edwards by $1,000 in Hudson
County with the purpose of making
him the Democratic candidate for
President on a wet platform. When
his hand picked delegates got to San
Francisco they found that Gov. Ed
wards was the buffoon laughing
stock of the Nation. After William j..
Bryan carried the Convention by de-
feating the wet plank, Jim Nugent
came home disguised before the nom
nations were made. Then Nugent's,
Edwards and Frank Hague's pro
German gang slaughtered Cox and
Roosevelt at the election by giving
Harding and Coolidge 10000 in Hud-
son County. Tammany in New York
also sold out the ticket to discredit
the Democratic National platform
which Cox and Roosevelt advocated.
The honest Democrats Of New Jer-
sey have nothing to gain by holding
on to Edwards, Nugent and Hague
who have wrecked the Democratic
party like Nugent and Billy Thomp-
son did in 1893.
They should emigrate to Germany
where they can get their beer, or to
Ireland where they can get their
whiskey and some Black and Tan les
sons in A~nglo-SaXon civilization, as
soldiers of their beloved president,
DeVilera, where Sundays are pagan
Roman holidays.
Gov. Edwards, by his action, shows
he is not in sympathy with the laws
of God and is lacking in moral SEN
sibilities, which are looked for in our
officials. He is not aware that poll
teal and religious liberty does not
mean license.
George Washington in his farewell
address said: "Of all the disposi-
lions and habits, which lead to politi-
cal prosperity, religion and morality,
are indispensable supports"
Thomas Jefferson said: "Moral du-
ties are as obligatory on nations as
on individuals" 81 consider religion
d supplement to law in the govern
-lent Of men,
Gov. Edwards considers the brewing
and drinking of beer a supplement to
law in the government of men.
Thomas Jefferson said: "The moral
sense is the first excellence of we'll
organized men,"
"When the moral sense is wanting,
we endeavor to supply the defect by
education"
Gov. Edwards needs q course of
education in the ten commandments.
Thomas Jefferson said: "The man
who is dishonest as a statesman would
be dishonest in any station. 1t is
strangely absurd to suppose that a
million Of human beings, collected to-
gether, are not under the same moral
laws which bind each of them separ-
stely."
