Newark, N. j., Nov. 8.-Governor
Edward 1. Edwards, Democrat, over
whelmed United States. Senator Jo-
seph S. Frelinghuysen, friend Of
President Harding and administra.
tion spokesman in the race for the
seat in the senate at Washington,
in the New Jersey elections yester-
day.
Running far ahead of Judge Sill
zer, the democratic candidate for
governor, who also. was elected, gov
ernor Edwards held a two to one
lead over his colleague, and won the
election by nearly 10000 votes.
Governor Edwards announced he
attributed his victory to discomfort
in New Jersey caused by the Repub-
lican tariff and by the prohibition,
laws.
"The Volstead act" he continued,
"has much. to do with our victory.
We asked a modification Of this law
so as to legalize light wines and
beers. To be sure we were against
the return to saloons but we made
fight on the ground that the rights
of the people had been infringed up
on and that their personal rights had
been taken away" ~
Governor Edwards became chief
executive of the state on the same
sort of platform, except it was more
radical. Then he stood on plank
which advocated, as he expressed it,
making New Jersey "as wet as the
Atlantic Ocean," Yesterday he won
on a modified plan. 1871

An important forward step was
taken by the men behind the big
reorganization and expansion cam
paign Of the Commercial Club when
the names Of the representative men
and women who are to form the
Campaign Executive Committe we're
announced. As is already known, the
Board of Directors has rendered it's
resignation to take effect when the
enlarged membership is secured but
it was generally felt that, in the
best interests of the campaign, that
they continue to act as members Of
the executive committee, it was an
nounced. Under the modern plan Of
election that is proposed by the Am
erican City Bureau, the new Board
of Directors will be elected immedi-
ately after the campaign and will
follow the primary and final ballet
method of voting. Under this plan,
every last member Of the CONNER
cial Club will have full voting
rights in both the primaries and the
finals. This is a much more demo-
cratic system than the one that has
been in vogue and is bound to be
received with general acclaim.
For the duration of the, campaign
though, and to act in an advisory
and a supervisory capacity, it was
felt that general confidence in the
whole reorganization scheme would
be maintained if a big broad-minded
and wholly representative committee
was appointed to take charge of at
fairs.

At a meeting of the Boafd of Di-
rectors held a few days ago, the
names of men and woAen, leaders in
different walks of life and in vari-
Gus lines Of business, were selected.

OHIO MAY BE
DEMOCRAT

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 8.-Returns
available early today indicated Ohio
voters yesterday elected Democrat
ic governor, Republican United
States Senator, returned majority
of its present solid Republican con-
gressional delegation and probably
elected Republicans to most state
offices. ts.- ~ =,
The Ohio election had been her
aided by campaign headquarters of
both parties as an endorsement or
rejection of the administration Of
President Harding, who sent most Of
his cabinet into the state on stump"
ing tours. Particular attention was
paid to the Ohio election by both
parties because this is the home
state of the President. .c l. +
Republican leaders claimed today
that Ohio voters, by electing Re-
publican senator and by returning a
majority Of the present solid Repub-
lican congressional delegation had
vote strong endorsement of Pre-
sident Harding and. his administra-
tion.
Democratic leaders we're jubilant
over the probable election of Dem
ocratic governor was rejection by
the voters for policies the present
Republican administration, headed
by Governor Harry L. Davis of Cleve-

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NAMED TO DIRECT
Big CAMPAIGN FOR COMMERCE CLUE
Representative Men and Women Are Appointed Act in
Advisory Capacity for Advancement of Bismarck Through
Civic and Commercial Organization .r' =

Ilic-spiritedness, were unanimously
elected as members of the Executive
Committee. As an evidence tha
| some sort OF reorganization ha!
been needed in the civic-commercia
life of Bismarck, it might we'll be
pointed out that without exception
every citizen invited, accepted the
responsibility of acting on this sim
portant committee. .
At meeting of the Executive
Committee held yesterday for the
purpose of appointing the various
subcommittee so necessary in {
campaign of this kind. Edward B
Cox was unanimously chosen chair.
man Of the executive committee and
c. R. Simpson was chosen vice.
chairman.
In the past, it may have been true
that, on account of not having the
support of a larger number of citi-
zens, the old Commercial Club has
not been over influential in civic af~
fairs, and has not had the unqual:
fled sympathy of the citizens of Bis
marck. A few men, no matter how
well-intentioned, cannot begin to ac-
complish the projects that a we'll.
informed, more interested and more
representative group can. Such an
organization not only lacks the
weight of the larger numbers but
fails to get the cooperation and the
sympathetic assistance of the, gen
eral citizenship. With an organiza-
ton based on the modern plan
though, with the goodwill of every
citizen of Bismarck behind it, big
COMMUNICATIVE projects can be un-
dertaken with an assurance Of sue
cess. This campaign is a sincere at
tempt on the part of the leading
business men and women Of Bis
marck to give their city civic
commercial organization second to
none in the state. Based on the mod
ern plan brought here by the AM
erican City Bureau, the new re-or-
ganized Commercial Club, or what
ever new name it may adopt after
the campaign, will take its place as
the clearing house for the best
thought and the most energetic ac-
tiof towards the development of the
whole community. This Campaign
Executive Committee, picked as it
is from the best that Bismarck can
offer in every way, will at once put
the Commercial Club on a new plane,
and will invite the sincere cooper
alton of every citizen of Bismarck
who has at heart, the advancement
and development of their city. =,

Eighty thousand votes upon the
cenatorship had been tabulated at
one o'clocr this being little less
half Of the vote expected, although
it represented but little more than
one-fourth Of the precincts in the
state. Whether the impossible roads
that have delayed the getting@;of re-
turns even in the Red River Valley
also reduced the vote to below the
100000 mark is question that only
the. final tabulation will determine.
While O'Connor continued to MAIN
tain his lead of about fourteen thou
sand votes the friends Of Lynn J.
Frazier were maintaining that their
man would be leader when all the
precincts were accounted for, due to-,
the fact that Frazier was gaining
over the Baker vote in the primary
in practically all counties thus far
reported in any where near total
numbers while O'Connor is not reach
ing the Nesto5 primary vote in the
same counties. This difference reach
es total of $50 votes or more in
some Of the counties.

ally slow, but three counties having
been able to report figures on the
state ticket below governor up to

BEER INTO LEAD
(Rv the Associated pfess)

. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 8.-The vote
for the beer and wine amendment
went back into the lead the morn
ing when an error, of approximately
thirty thousand votes was discovered
to have been made in tabulating
the vote of Cuyahoga county, The
corrected list shows the affirmative
and negative vote almost equal. The
vote in 1866 precincts was: for the
amendment 27,162; against 426,3o9.
The majority given the beer an:
wine amendment by discovery Of an
error in the Cuyahoga county vote
was short lived. Additional returns
from mostly rural counties not only
wiped out the majority for the pro-
posal, but placed a majority Of al
most 1000 against it. The vote on
the 1850 precincts out of S,167 in
the state was: for the amendment
442,37O; against 453,226. .

LEAGUE CLAIMS VICTORY
(By the Associated Press)

Frazier (republican and nonpartisan)
will probably climb to lead of
10000 to $4,000 over J. F. T. O'Con-
nor (democrat) when rural returns
come in and the gubernatorial race
will be very close with a possibility
that William Lemke, Nonpartisan,
may defeat Governor R. A. Nestos,
Nonpartisan league headquarters
here claimed today.
There is no possibility of Lemke
coming near winning while the sena-
torial vote will be close with chanc-
es favoring O'Connor, said T. G. Nell
sen, state. secretary of the 1ndepend-
ent Voters Association. ,a,
Lemke will not come within $4,000
