Promis es of Support

United States Senator Joseph S. Fre-
linghuysen, who was renominated over
George i. Record in the New Jersey
Republican primaries Tuesday by a
majority Of $4,000 to 1o0,000 votes, said
yesterday that prohibition would be
the principal issue in his campaign for
reelection against Governor Eiward I.
Edwards, nominated without opposition
by the Democrats.
MIR. Records vote, particularly in
the outlying districts, was largely a
protest against prohibition" the Sena-
said. But prohibition will not be
only issue. Ny platform will be
presented TO the voters of the state
on Saturday"
II is believed that Senator Freyling-
huysen will stress the achievements Of
the Harding Administration in the
election campaign, as he did in the
primaries. He also is expected TO de-
fend the tariff against the attacks of
the Democrats. Governor Edwards, il
is believed. will use the tariff as tar
get in his fight for the Senate seat.
but will base his campaign primarily
on his antagonism to the Volstead Act.
Frelinghuysen Sure of Victory
Senator Freylinghuysen was asked
if he expected a particularly hard
fight this fall.
NO." he replied, 'I do not. You
must not forget that this vote nomina-
ted me by tremendous majority,

State Chairman Stokes, in state
ment issued yesterday at Trenton, ex-
pressed his qualification at Senator
Frelinghuysen's denomination.
"1t is victory for progressive and
constructive conservatism" he de-
clared, land it is defeat for the ap-
peal to prejudice and iconoclasm. The
result shows that the people are tired
of radcalism and destructive policies
ard do not tolerate class hatred, but
that, economically, they want peace,
not war, and upholding of the nations
industrial structure, that business and
industry may prosper and employment
and wages be secure. The vote insures
Republican victory at the polls If
vigorous and active campaign is waged,
and it will be-"
With a few scattered districts in
rural sections still to be reported, Ere
