IT, S. SENATORIAL CONTESTS
IN SEVERAL STATES

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press) Senatorial CAM
paigns in nine states of the Middle
west end today as the issues in to-
morrow's off year election go to the
people.
The windup finds six U. S. senators
from central states seeking re-elec-
tion. They are:
Republican-Townsend, Michigan;
Kellogg, Minnesota LaFollette, Wis
consin.
Observation-Disclosures, Nebraska;
Reed, Missouri; Pomerene, Ohio
The primary defeat of Senator
New of Indiana, and McCumber of
North Dakota, left the Republican
party in those states with new aspir-
ants to the senate. Former Senator
Beveridge, a progressive leader in
the days of Bull Moose activities. is
the standard bearer of Indiana Re-
publicans in his campaign to so
back to the upper branch of con-
gress.
Lynn J. Frazier, former non-parti-
san league governor of North Da-
kota, bears the political label in that
state for the McCumber seat.
In Iowa where Smith w. Brook
hart is the Republican nominee for
the senatorial toga which former
Senator Kenyon exchanged for the
honors of a federal judge, the closing
campaign found a more or less Or
ganiZed Republican revolt against
the Brookhart candidacy. A some
what similar condition prevails III
North Dakota where there is cen
siderable Republican a%ntipathy to
Frazier.

EDWARDS REVIEWS HIS
PERSONAL LIBERTY PLANK

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 6.-Speaking
here Saturday night, Governor Ed
wards reiterated his personal lib
erty views, saying in part:
There is no doubt of Democratic
success in this coming election. Judge
Silzer is going to be your next gov
ernor and L am on my way to Wash
ington now.
II predict an overwhelming Dem
ocratic landslide.
1.-The people of New Jersey refuse
to part with their precious personal
liberties. They will tolerate no long
er hypocricy in public Office. They
demand a fair break in the admins
tration of the law. They resent
class legislation which makes the
rich richer and the poor poorer.
They ask and are entitled to know
what the candidate, whatever party
he belongs to, stands for, and to get
some assurance that he will do after
election what he promises to do be-
fore election.
The public has been fooled too
often to take too seriously the word
OF mouth campaign chatter of those
who merely indulge in glittering
~generalities and high-sounding plati-
tudes. They are through with the
politically dry and personally wet
hypocrites.
mo man has the right to admon-
ish you or me in public to be dry
who in private is the proud posses
sor Of a cellar full of liquor and of a
large thirst himself.

FRELINGHUYSEN ATTACKS
EDWARDS OVER RADIO

NEWARK, Nov. 6.-The voters
are being asked by Governor Ed
wards to risk a return to Democratic
rule and hard times in return for a
promise, which he cannot keep, to
bring back light wines and beer,
Senator Frelinghuysen declared in a
radio speech which was broadcasted
from here tonight. The senator's
speech was in part:
Governor Edwards claims that
there is II issue which dominates
and relegates all others to the back
ground. 1t is, shall New Jersey dur
ing the next six years have beer and
wine? Three years ago when Mr..
Edwards was campaigning for the
office of governor, he promised to
make New Jersey as wet as the At
lantic-he promised beer and wine.
Notwithstanding his promise, beer
and wine are not on sale, and what
ever sales of intoxicating liquors
have been made in New Jersey have
been made in violation of law. Gov
ernor Edwards is promising some
thing which he cannot give and what
in my opinion is much worse, some
thing which he knows he cannot
give. He fooled some of the voters
three years ago. Will he fool them
again? What he says Is an issue Is
not an issue.
The eighteenth amendment is now
part of the constitution of the United
States. It prohibits the sale of all
intoxicating liquors. No Senator can
make lawful what the constitution
makes unlawful. The senate itself
cannot. Congress cannot. When
Governor Edwards says that the
Democratic party will change the
eighteenth amendment he again says
what he knows is not true. The
eighteenth amendment was submit
ted to the states and ratified by the
states during the Democratic admin
istration of President Wilson. For
such submission, thirty-six Demo-
cratic senators and twenty-nine Re-
publicans voted, while in the House
of Representatives 141 Democrats
and 1877 Republicans voted. The
first states to ratify the amendment
were southern states. Before you
vote at the coming election, examine
the constitution and especially the
provision relating to changes. The
eighteenth amendment can be
changed only by the consent of 90
states and not by the act of any
single senator or of the senators
combined or of congress and the
President combined; SO states must
agree.
