MUD-SLINGING IS RIFE
IN JERSEY CAMPAIGN
Republicans Charge Democrats
With Importing Voters-G. o. P.
"Slush Fund" Is Alleged.
By the Associated Press.


NEWARK, n. j., November 2.-Re-
publican charges Of a Democratic
plot to steal the election mark the
close of one of the hottest guberna-
torial campaigns in the history of New
Jersey, with prohibition as the lead
ing issue.
Harry Moore. a commissioner of
Jersey City, the Democratic candidate,
has called State Senator Arthur Whit
ney of Medham. his Republican oppo-
nent, a tool of the Anti-Saloon League
The Democrats have come out for
modification of the Volstead act, and
repeal of the State enforcement act
An investigation begun Saturday has
revealed ella borate democratic plans to
steal crucial Essex County. according
to Senator Whitney. Essex County
normally Republican, is counted upon
to offset a large Democratic majority
conceded in Hudson County. Whit
ney charges that thousands of float
ers from New York have been illegal
ly registered.
Whitney won the Republican nomi-
nation as an anti-boss, dry candidate
defeating the late Thomas F. McCran,
who was supported by Senator Edge.
Moore charges that Republicans
have raised a "SluSh fund" of 81 ,000,-

HEADLIGHT MENACE
THREATENS CITY AS
LAWS ARE IGNORED
CONTINUED from First Page.)

tomobiles have been tested for proper
lighting. according to the testimony
of automobile dealers. In view of
the fact that head lamps on many
cars easily are thrown out of focus
this situation would seem to indicate
aXity on the part of both the car own
er and the District authorities.
The Importance of adequate head.
light laws and their proper enforce
ment will be one of the vital topics to
come before the second national con.
ference on street and highway safety
to be called soon by Secretary Hoover
At previous conference of traffic eX.
perts, city officials and engineers held
here an attempt was made to awaken
municipal and State authorities IL
the seriousness of this problem. 1t
was recommended that automobile de
signers give special attention TO the
construction of a nonglare lens SC
as TO eliminate the hazards of the pres
ent types.
In the meantime, the operator of an
automobile in the District of Column
bia must wrestle with the difficulties
of night driving and duck as best he
can the stray beams that are likely
to spread disaster in his path.
If cars with glaring lights are to be
allowed on city streets, the motorist
in self-defense must do all in his
power to maintain free and constant
vision of the right -of-way. The
glare and dazzle from improperly ad :
juSted lights on approaching cars
can be minimized to some extent by
keeping the windshield on ones own
car clean and free from dust both
inside and out. Dust particles on
the windshield refraCt light beams and
tend to accentuate the glare. Water
particles on the Windshield also have
the same effect, while scratches on the
glass within the area swept by the
windshield wiper likewise contribute
to glare.
Motorists have a right to demand.
however, that traffic authorities do
all In their power to eliminate the
Car with the ClarinE headlight
While the traffic regulations specific
ally state that no license shall be
granted to an operator whose car is
not equipped with ''headlampS
lenses. reflectors or other headlamI
devices OF type approved by the
director" 1t is yet a fact that even
approved headlamps may he thrown
out OF focus or bent to d dangerous
angle.
What is apparently needed to rid
the streets of glaring. dazzling and
all otHef forms or dangerous heaG
lights is a thorough and systematic
checking up by trained officers. II
the figures supplied by automobile
dealers may be relied upon. more
than half the cars now being oper
ated are imperiling the lives o.
! thousands OF other motorists and pc
destrians every night. Therefore, II
would seem that some plan SHOULD
be instituted without delay to make
night driving in the District of Co.
lumbia free from unnecessary head
light hazards and safer generally
for all who must use the streets.

The other two provide for consolida-

RELIGION AND RACE
ISSUES IN DETROIT
Bowies, Opponent of Mayor
Smith, Accused of Being
Klan Man.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Mich. November 2--
Featured by the injection of religious
and racial issues, one of the most
bitterly contested mayoralty cam
paigns in the history of Detroit was
brought to a close here today. To-
morrow, election officials estimate.
800, 900 persons will vote at a non
partisan election on whether John w.
Smith will be retained as mayor or
whether he viii be succeeded by
Charles Bowles.

special election to ill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Frank
+. Doremus. an election in which
BoWles got his first start in Detroit
politics.

BowleS, who had not been mentioned
by newspapers and had done little ad-
vertising, almost won the nomination.
IN the election he ran as a ''Sticker"
Ca ndidate and was a close third.
Bowles was then charged with hav.
ing ku kluX klan support
This year Bowles was the only
entry in the race for mayor against
Smith. Although he said IN his
speeches he was not a member of
the klan, Smith supporters charged
BowieS was a klan candidate and
the klan has openly supported him.
BoWleS has charged that Detroit was
wide open" town and has based
much of his campaign on promises
to clean up" the city. BoWleS Is
credited with having the support of
many Protestant churches.
Mayor Smith has based his cam
paign mainly on his record during
the last year. He has been active
in Michigan Republican politics for
many years and resigned as postmas-
ter to make the campaign for mayor.
He is generally conceded to have the
support of one group of leaders in
the State. but has been opposed by
the group headed by Gov. Alex j.
GroeSbeck.
The choice OF eight candidates for
the council has been made another
basis for charges and counter charges
in the campaign. A slate of five can

distributed under announced klan d.

dates claim the klan wishes by ask
