EDWARDS ATTACKS
DEMOCRAT WOMEN
Criticism of Smith Brings
Notification Charge Against
Southern Governors.

Attacks upon Gov. Al Smith Of
New York by Southern women Demo
Gratis at their convention here yester.
day, drew fire from Senator Edwards
of New Jersey, wet leader OF the
Senate.
'If Gov. Smith is a nullificationist
as regards his attitude toward prohi-
bition and the eighteenth amend
ment," said a statement by Senator
Edwards. every governor of every
State below the Mason-Dixon line is
a nullifcationist of the blackest hue
insofar as the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments are concerned.
Part of Constitution.
"All three amendments are part
and substance of the same Constitu-
ton, and both the spirit and the letter
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments have been openly and f1agrantly
violated in the Southland for some
so years.
"For this reason I believe the
vicious attacks made on Gov. Smiths
candidacy by Southern members of
the National Woman's Democratic
Law Enforcement League come with
exceeding poor grace and with an
absolute disregard for the interests
and the success of the Democratic
party.
''If the National Woman's Demo-
cratic Law Enforcement League fa

Matthew: why beholdeth thou the
moat that is in thy brothers eye, but
not the beam that is in

Without presuming to speak for
Gov. Smith, herewith make bold to
predict that If he is nominated and
elected President of these United
States, law enforcement will be up
lifted to a higher plane and made so
per cent more clean, more wholesome
and more effective than it is or has
been under the present administra-
ton. The cry of 'nullificationist'
hurled at Gov. Smith by certain Dem.

nothing more or less than a smoke

Tests
Appear As New
Election BOgey

In their effort to prevent workers
from participating in elections, New
York authorities are passing various
laws making it more difficult to OBJ
tain the right to vote. To the laws
which have always prevented workers
in New York, as in all parts of the
U. s., from voting, if they have been
obliged to change their residence thru
having to go elsewhere to seek en-
ployment, or thru housing difficult
ties, or for any other cause, are now
added literacy tests. These literacy
tests are being made continually more
rigid. They are designed to exclude
the worker who has not had an OPP
portunity to get sufficient school
ingand to exclude also the foreign
born worker wherever possible.
Remember Jan. l, 1922
All workers who have not previous
ly voted, or have become qualified to
vote in New York State after Jan.
l, 1922, or who having voted in other
states did not become qualified to
vote in New York State until after
Jan. 1, 1922, and who have never
voted in New York State, will have
to take such a literacy test.
Every reader of this paper who
might be subject to disqualification
should be sure to safeguard his vote
and should in addition warn all
friends who have not already voted in
the state of New York. The literacy
tests do not apply to those who have
voted in New York since January l,
1922. Such new voters, as described
above, must present diploma show
ing they have been graduated from
an American or English elementary
school or from higher school where
English is the language of instruc-
ton. In the absence of such a dip
Iona, literacy test must be taken.
These tests will be given between Oct.
10 and Is from $50 to $50 D. m. in
80 public schools in New York City
to anyone who wishes to take them.
To those who pass these tests, in
which ability to read and write Eng
fish must be proved, certificate of
iiteracy signed by the Board of Re-
gents of the state of New York will
be given. By presenting such GER
tificate at the registration booth, the
bearer will qualify as voter. Once
voter has taken this literacy test,
or received this certificate, or pre-
sented his diploma, or voted in the
state Of New York, he is no longer a
new voter and need not take test
again or present any evidence of lit
eracy. Workers should settle. the mat
ter once and for all Those workers
who cannot read or write English are
advised to register at once in the
Workers School elementary English
"a" course.
Registration Necessary.
Voters also will not be permitted
to vote in the elections unless they
register formally as voters. The reg
istration dates are in the second week
of October. Workers should watch
The DAILY WORKER for exact dates
and places of registration. They
should also watch for the registra-
ton booth. If in doubt as to the proper
booth, a worker should inquire at the
nearest registration BOOTH No one
can vote who does not register.
Those who cannot read or write be-
cause of physical disability, such as
deaf mutes, cripples and blind per-
sons, need not present certificates of
literacy.

MARKET FIGURES
w. B. Duryee Shows How
New Jersey Growers Can
Meet Competition

Important figures on the peach
marketing situation as affecting
New Jersey growers are made
public by W. B. Duryee, Secretary
Of the State Department of Aeri-
culture They give New Jersey
growers the ages, varieties and
numbers of peach trees growing in
their own and competing states.
The results of this survey show
New Jersey orchardists how they
can meet the severe competition
Of other states by regulating the
kinds and quantities of their
future paintings.
In bringing out the average age
of peach trees in important com
peting states, further aid is
furnished New Jersey growers in
estimating future competition.
California. for instance, is the
leading peach producing state,
with nearly as many trees as the
entire Atlantic Seaboard While
most of this western states peach
crop is canned or dried. her carlot
shipment of fresh peaches have
been increasing. The average age
Of California trees is nearly eight
years. while that of New Jerseys
is seven years.
New Jersey is third Of all states
in the number of trees in com
mercial peach orchards, while
North Carolina shows herself as
a dangerous competitor, with very
young trees averaging less than 5
1-2 years. Both North Carolina and
Illinois, which is fifth in the total
number of commercial peach trees,
all of them average less than five
years, will be giving New Jersey
stiff competition in the Pittsburgh
market within few years.
In New Jersey the Alberta is by
far the leading variety in point of
numbers. SO popular is this variety
that along the entire Atlantic Sea
board it comprises SO per cent OF
all commercial paintings Nearly
1G,O00,Q00 trees throughout this
coast section are Elbertas Approx
imately go per cent of them are
