self. is constantly gaining strength.
The astounding majority by when ne
was renominated demonstrated ms

voters of New Jersey and also had
the effect of closing up the Repubu-
can ranks for the election on Novem-

Senator Frelinghuysen has plunged
into his campaign with his accustom-
ed vigor and aggresSiveness and the
forceful logic of his attacks on Gov
ernor Edwards have augmented the
natural embarrassments of his op-
ponent's position. Answering a
speech by Governor Edwards at Rar1-
tan, Senator Frelinghuysen, last
week in a statement, said:
governor Edwards In Raritan
close to my home boasted that he had
kept every promise he had made and
spoke contemptuously of the Eight
eenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton. He was silent, however, on the
fact that the constitution of the State
of New Jersey in the executive power
invested in the Governor makes him
responsible for the enforcement Of
Federal Constitution and rnat 1t Is
his duty to see that the laws are
peacefully executed
"To excite prejudices, he told my
neighbors l had a home not only at
Raritan, but also in Washington. My
wife and children are the very light
of my home. For six years past, to
properly represent the people of New
Jersey, I have been compelled to
spend my time in Washington. My
wife and childre1 lived there with
me and so that they may lie in COM
fort / had there home. The people
of New Jersey. especially the work
ingmen, who saw how l fought for
their protection, will answer whether
they prefer that should live in New
Jersey exclusively, visiting Washing
ton occasionally, or whether l should
be on The job in Washington in their
behalf, occasionally visiting New Jer-
sey.

not drink himself but he does not
boast that he has never purchased
liquor contrary to the law or caused
others to drink.
Has Governor Bought Liquor?
"The Governor has talked so much
about prohibition and boasts so fire.
quently that he has kept every prom
ise he has made, let him now tell to
what extent he has purchased liquor
so as to help make New Jersey as
wet as the Atlantic Ocean; to what
extent he has encouraged bootleggers
and how he would keep his assurance
that II elected intoxicating liquors will
be on sale again Let him explain
how he will place light wines and
beer on sale in grocery stores, not
withstanding that before prohibition
| became part of the law 80 Of the 48
states were dry.
ITO change the Constitution 36
states of the 4S states must agree.
1t is generally conceded that 40 of the
states will now oppose any change in
the Constitution. Let him tell the
people how he Is going to change the
statutes. Let him tell how in the
face of the wishes of the 40 Of 48
states he will change the Volstead Act
or let him confess that he is simply
talking nonsense"
President w. n. S. Demarest Of
Rutgers College, in announcing his
support Of Senator Joseph S. Ere
linghuysen for reelection last week,
said:
"The service of Senator Freling-
huysen in Washington has been very
gratifying to me- He has taken a SEN
sible and courageous stand on ques-
tions where such "a stand seemed to
me of highest Importance. From the
beginning of his term of Office New
Jersey has been represented in the
Senate by one ready to express him.
self in debate, and ready to bear his
full share of the burden of legislative
work.
Il have keenly appreciated his posi-
tion on prohibition enforcement his
stand on the bonus, and his proposal
of an expert commission to study the
tariff
His loyalty to his constituency, to
the fine traditions of his state, and to
high ideals of national welfare com
mands sincere respect and gratitude
1t is very important to continue him
in the Senate"
