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.

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.

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.

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. WILSON SAYS REID WILL BE MAN WITH NO PARTY IN SENATE (By Associated Press.) St. Louis, Mo., Nov.
