EDWARDS "A BANKER
AND NON-DRINKING WET

While Al Smiths stunning victory
In New York has caused some OF the
exultant vets to acclaim him as their
candidate for President In 1924, there
are others-noticeably just across the
Hudson-who regard Governor and
Scnator-elect Edward I. Edwards OF
New jersey as the rightful choice Of
the anti prohibition host. Mr.. Ed
wards himself has given no sign that
he has any ambition beyond the Sen
ate. He was a candidate for the
Democratic Presidential nomination In
San Francisco in 1920. but did not get
very far.
Edwards is rampant vet who
hasn't had a drink in years. To him
the question involved is one OF per-
sonal liberty. Business ability brought
him TO the front in New Jersey long
before prohibition was a live issue.
He is a banker and good one. Born
in Jersey City on December I, 1863,
educated in the public schools there
and in New York University. ne gave
up the study of law TO become as
sistant to the president of the First
National Bank OF Jersey City. There
with the exception OF period when
he took up contracting because or
poor health induced by indoor work,
and OF a term in the city tax depart
ment. he has had his business life
ever since.
Being an organization Democrat
and his business reputation having
spread abroad. he was elected State
Comptroller In 1911. He served six
years, then went to the State Senate
He is credited with having so success
fully applied banking principles TO the
Comptrollers office that this, with an
Inheritance tax law which he fathered,
saved the State millions OF dollars a
year. In 1919, when his friends asked

Thus he could spend his days running
