100000 LEAD CLAIM
BY FRELINGHUYSEN
Senator Closes Campaign With
Talks in Burlington and
Mount Holly.
Special Dispatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD

Special Dispatch TO TIE New YORK HERALD.
MOUNT HOLLY, N. j.. Nov. 6.-Senator
Joseph S. Frelnghuysen, Republican
nominee for reelection to the United
States Senate, closed his campaign to-
night with speeches here and at Burling-
ton. Large crowds greeted him In both
towns. and his audiences displayed much
enthusiasm. More than 1900 persons
crowded the theater where he spoke In
Mount Holly. Before leaving for Bur-
lngton the Senator declared that he ex-
pected to win tomorrow by a majority
OF 100000 over his Democratic oppo-
nent Gov. Edward /. Edwards.
"Mr. Edwards" he said, will learn
that he can no longer fool the people of
New Jersey by telling them of tmpos-
sible things, that he proposes to do to
get booze back into this State"
In both of his speeches tonight Sem
ator Frelinghuysen scored the record of
the Democratic party in this State. par
ticularly during the time Of the race
track scandals, when ''the people rose
up with the Republican banner of moral
ity and decency' and banished the
Democratic Office holders. Some such
situation exists to-day, he declared, be-
cause of the power and perniciousness
of the machine dominated by Mayor
Frank Hague of Jersey City.
: The Senator ridiculed Gov. Edwards
for going about the State telling voters
that he could go to Washington and
change the organic law of the State,
that he could repeal the Volstead act
and make New Jersey as wet as the At
lantic Ocean. The Governor, he declared,
insulted the people of Burlington
county by declaring that 5000 stills are
operating in this county and failing to
produce evidence when called upon by
the Grand Jury.
'"rhe time has come" said Senator
Frelinghuysen, when the people OF New
Jersey are to decide whether they will
uphold the Constitution of the United
States or become followers of the un-
scrupulous Mayor Hague of Jersey City.

The odds heightened during the day
TO 2h and and finally TO 1, but
that was mostly stage money. Little
of II was bet.
Discounting the extravagant Tam
many claims the Republicans insisted
that Gov. Miller would get a big
enough plurality up State to over
balance anything Smith might get
here. Admitting detection in two or
three cities up State the Republicans
asserted that Miller was much
stronger in the rest of the counties
and would better than hold his own
on the basis of the vote two years
ago.
Mr.. Morris was reported TO have
said to the New York leaders that
Miller would have upward of $4,000
plurality up State, but that was not
substantiated. The State chairman
did no give figures.
George Gordon Battle, chairman OF
the Copeland Committee, said:
After a careful canvass OF the
situation, with full reports from up
State and from this city we are con-
fident DR.. Copeland will be elected by
majority of 250,00o."
The Tammany 100000 was not sus-
tanned even in the forecasting by John
III. McCooey. Democratic leader and
Murphy's chief of staff in Brooklyn.
McCooey claimed that county for
Smith by 100000 Jacob A. Living
ston. Republican leader OF Kings, said
Smith would not have more than 50,-
600 In that county.
Based on McCooey's own prediction
there is no evidence of the landslide
in New York excepting as seen in
Tammany Hatl. The Democrats say
they will do wonders to get 100000 in
The Bronx and Queens for Smith. If
McCooey's figures are right, that
makes it an even zoe, 200 which Tam
many will have to get in New York
county to make up the 100000 claimed.
That would be more than a landslide.
Expects 5000 for Miller.
Expounding on the situation in
Kings, Mr.. Livingston said:
Our registration is off $4,000. Two
years ago Smith had a plurality in
this county of 10000. The Democrats
lost much more than we did in the
registration. There are 5000 inde-
pendent Democrats who voted for
Smith two years ago and who believe
Miller has given a fine administration
and will vote for him.
Smith will have only little over
$4,000 in this county. The same ratio
prevails in the other boroughs. Miller
will come down to The Bronx with at
least 350.000. He will win by $1,000 TO
$4,000. We will elect two members OF
Congress, perhaps three; two State
Senators and six Assemblymen."
Mr.. McCooey's forecast was:
MY reports give Smith 100000 at
least in Kings. Republicans who
never voted a Democratic ticket will
vote for Smith. The plurality VIII ex-
ceed that for Hylan last year. We
viii elect our two nominees for the
Supreme Court, the District Attorney,
seven OF the eight Congressman, seven
of the eight State Senators and eight
cen of the twenty-three Assembly
men,"
William M. Calder, nominee for
United States Senator, said:
II have gone all through the State
and find sentiment strongly favors
Gov. Miller. The outlook is certainly
bright. I look for a large vote in
Brooklyn for all the Republican can
didates."

of felony and who has served a term

Regarding the important matter of
assisting voters, the judge said:
'If the voter. other than a new voter,
at the time of registration, alleged his
inability to sign his name. or II new
voter who Is able. except for physical
disability. TO write, alleges that by rea-
son of such physical disability only he
is unable to sign his name, one of the
inspectors designated by the chairman
shall read to the voter the list of ques-
tions contained in the election law"
Another point of the charge has to do
with the authority of the Attorney-Gen-
eral and his investigators. authority
criticized by the Mayor to Enright:
THE special Deputy Attorneys-Gen-
eral or investigators may call upon any
member of the police. Sheriff. Deputy

shall willfully hinder or delay such spe-
cial deputy or investigator in the exer-

Under this ruling any policeman in
terfering with a Deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral or investigator is apt to get into
serious trouble.

GARBAGE MEN PAID WELL
Cincinnati City Laborers Receive
More Than Rail Workers.

By United Pren-
CLEVELAND. Aug. l4.-The city ol
Cleveland is advertising widely for com
mon laborers to handle the citys gar
bage at Y cents an hour, with permanent
and steady employment. Skilled labor
ers in the garbage plant are offered as
! high as $6.75 a day. By striking CO.
: incidence, in the same papers and often
on the same page are advertisements of
railroad companies for skilled machin-
lists. boiler makers, electricians. car re-
pairmen and inspectors. to take the
place of these high-class employees who
are striking against the wage slash just
ordered by the Railroad Labor Board.
These skilled employees, upon whose
faithful services the safety Of every
traveller on the railroads depends, have
been cut to as low as s3.98 day. The
very highest paid shop mechanics have
just been ordered by the decision Of the
| U. S. Labor Board to work for less mon
ey than the city of Cleveland is paying
its common unskilled labor in the gar
bage department.
Indeed. these unskilled workers. with
out any responsibility whatever, are re-
ceiving within 5 cents a day Of the
s58l average wage Of railway engine
service employees, the highest paid group
in the employ Of the railroads.! Skill
cd labor at the city garbage plant is
receiving nearly a dollar a day more.
The glaring contrast between the low
wages paid skilled railway employees and
the wages paid to ordinary unskilled
workers by private employers who have
a regard for the welfare Of their men
provides an answer to the question:
What is wrong with American Rail-
roads?" The transportation industry Of
the country demands such a high de-
gree Of skill and exacts such rigorous
fidelity to duty, often with the penalty
Of imprisonment for a mistake resulting
in the loss Of human life, that the very
best human material obtainable is nee
essary for its safe and efficient opera
ton. This class Of workers cannot be
secured nor long retained on an un-
skilled garbage mans wage.
