WET CANDIDATE
IN NEW JERSEY
AN EASY WINNER
EDWARDS CARRIES ELECTION
BY 90,000 IN RACE FOR
U. S. SENATOR
(By Associated Press.)
Newark, N. J., Nov. B.—Edward I.
Edwards, Democrat, overwhelmed
United States Senator Joseph S. Fre
linghuysen, friend of President Har
ding asd administration spokesman,
in the race for his seat in the senate
Washington, in New Jersey elec
tions.
Running far ahead of Judge Silser,
the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, who also was elected, Gov. Ed
wards held a 2 to 1 lead over his col
league, and won the election by (
nearly 90,000 votes.
The landslide which roared down
around th e ears of Senator Freling
huysen, however, did not carry with
it the backbone and struethre of New
Jersey RePublicansm. The state
senate and assembly will remain Re
publican.
Gov. Edwards announced be at
tributed his victory to discontent in
New Jersey caused by the Republican
tariff and by the prohibition laws.
“The Volstead act,’’ he continued,
“has much to do with our victory.
“We asked a modification of this law
so as to leaglize light wines and
beers. To be sure, we were against
the return of the saloon, but we
made a fight on the ground that the
rights of the people had been in
fringed upon and that their personal
rights had been taken away.’’
Gov. Edwards became chief execu
tive of the state on the same sort of
platform, except that it was more
radical. The n he stood on a plank
which advocated, as he expressed it,
making New Jersey as “wet as the
Atlantic ocean.’’

POLITICIANS IN
FAVOR OF SECRET'
BALLOT IN STATE
AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM
MAY BE ADOPTED AS RE
SULT OF AGITATION
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. B.—The Aus
tralian ballot system and the sys
tems built uP around the Australian
method are wholsesome and should
bo adopted i n the opinion of state
politicians, discussing the recent ac
tion of the Chatham grand jury in
recommending the adoption of the
act which provides for the secret bal
lot.
The act, it will be recalled, was ap
proved by Governor Hardwick Au
gust 21, 1922, but cannot become
operative until it is endorsed by two
consecutive grand juries.
I n many place s the secret ballot
’ —endorsed by both Democratic and
Republican leaders in Georgia—has
bee n adopted with the view of les
sening the chance of using money in
elections, the idea being that men
who buy votes—tile real culprits—
would not “buy” when they were
not sure of “delivery.’’ It is doubted
that this view was sound.
Where a man wants to sell bis
vote, it is pointed out, he will find j
the way to get his price. Asa mat- j
ter of fact “vote buying’’ doe s not |
prevail, politicians say, to any ex--
tent—has not. prevailed, in serious I
degree, for many years. I
Another claim was that the secret |
ballot would make an employe in- j
dependent, as to politics, of his em
ployer. This claim, it is declared, is !
empty. Th e employe, a s a rule, pays j
no attention to his employer’s Poli
tics. If there ever was a time, as ■
it is said there used to be, wheir- a
corporation, for instance, dictated
howiist s workmen should vote, that
time has passed, political leaders as
sert.
The theory of all voting is that the
ballot is secret, election managers
show. It is well to insure this sec
recy in their -opinion and in the opin
ion of political leaders here who
have discussed the subject.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
ANOTHER FAIR TO
BE GIVEN BY LOCAL
POUITRYJAISERS
Glynn Association Announces
Date of Opening to be on
Thanksgiving Day.
WILL LIKELY RUN FOR
AT LEAST THREE DAYS
Last Event of This Kind. Held
One Year Ago, Was Source of
Assembling Products of This
Section.
President R. G. Jackson, of the
Glynn County Poultry Breeders’ As
sociation, announced yesterday that
plans had about been completed for
the holding of another fair, which
will begin on Thanksgiving, Novem
ber 28th, and continue for at least
three days and those who attended
the last hvfint -of this kind given by
the assocation know what to expect
because even those who make a
study of affair s of the farm, indus
trial and manufacturing, as well as
those of a domestic character, were
really surprised at the exhibits which
were assembled then. It was a reveal
ation to many and especially was this
true of the exhibit of the colored peo
ple. The fair will be held at the
same site, Boy Scout headquarters,
corner Newcastle and Prince streets.
It is stated that the opening day
will find a larger variety of exhibits
tha n before and the event is to be
on a somewhat larger scale and ef
forts will b e made to have neighbor
ing counties Participate. While it is
true that tfiany visitors from Camden,
Mclntosh, Brantley and Wayne came
i here during the fair period, these did
j not have exhibits. Two of the eoun
| ties mentioned, Brantley and Wayne,
; have recently held fairs and it is
i said that some of the exhibits have
I been kept intact for just such oceas
j ions as the local fair will offer.
| While it is true that the Glynn
| County Poultry Breeders’ Associa
| tion is primarily one organized for
; the purpose of furthering the fowl
! raising industry in Glynn and other
i counties in this section, if, is also tak
ing great interest in many other in
! teresting and pofitable Projects. The
; farm, with all it carries, domestic
! affaite such as home canning, needle
I work and like subjects, have receiv
ied great attention from the associa
j tio n and as a result there has been a
decided increase of production along
the lines recently. As an example of
what can be done by organization, if
is pointed out that Glyn n county has
jumped from among the last in the
poultry raising business to those at
the very top. It is noted that the
increase in this industry here has
been unprecedented and it should be
understood that the association which
is responsible for it is teaching the
people to raise the very best in both
poultry and swine and as a result
some of the very best specimen of
each are living examples of what can
be done, as it is a well known fact
that some of the finest fowls any
where can be found in Brunswick and
Glynn county, and the same may be
said of swine.
The Poultry Association is called
to meet at the Board of Trade rooms
at 8 o’clock tomorrow night and
President Jackson desires it under
stood that the meeting is open to all
fanciers of the fowl and all who are
interested i n matters pertaining to
truck farming, hog raising, domestic
science, handicraft and woodcraft, in
fact, everything that will develop
this section. The meeting is the first
to be held since the association “re
cessed,” so to speak, for the summer
months and various subjects in con
nection with the coming fair and
poultry show will be discussed. It
is expected that many will b e present
and participate in the proceedings.
