MORROW VIGTORY | BELIEVED CERTAW Drys Hope Fort Wil *w n as Anti-Saloon League Calls on Demogcrats. (Continued From First Page) consider that Morrow is must beat, rather than . Frelinghuys°n. Kelly may poll a few thousand voies, but that s as far as he will get in any event They clearly the man thev Drys Call on Democrats. Mr. Mo1Tow’s address at tne opening of his campaign. announcing his posi- tion on the prohibition issue, was some- thing new for an outstanding Republi- can. Outstanding Republicans have in recent veers contented themselves with declaring for the enforcement of the Jaw or have come out flatly for the eighteenth amendment. ~Mr. Morrow met the issue squarely, his supporters | say. and presented the prohibition is-! sue in a way that the people could | ynderstand. The very fact that Mr. Morrow is regarded as an outstanding member of the Republican party has roused the drys to frenzied efforts to ! bring about his defeat. So desperate are the drys that Rev. James K. Shields, State superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, has issued a plea to all dry Democrats to go into the Republican primary on next Tues day and vote for Mr. Fort. His plea to the Democrats. made a week ago, has brought about the coinage of a new phrase in Jersey, “Republicans for a day how many of these “Re- publicans for a day” there will be i problematic A good deal depnds on the orders which go out from the headquarters Frank Hague, Democratic boss of | Hudson County, on primary day. If, Mr. Hague defermines to vote a large number of Democrats in the Republican primary, it will not be because he wishes to aid the dry cause, but because he will hope to swing the Republican Sen- atorial nomination to the man he be- lieves the Democrats may have the best chance of defeating in the Novem- ber_election The tactics of the Anti-Saloon League Jeader are roundly denounced by the managers of Mr. Morrow and Mr. Frelinghuysen. who say that for Demo- crats to enter the Republican primary 13 a clear violation of all moral and party obligations. Dry Eggs in Fort Basket. The drys. under the leadership of Mr. Shields, have practically put all their ezgs in the Fort basket. Under the New Jersey election laws, the time limit | for filing petitions as independent can- didates for the Senate expired last pight. Mr. Shields announced that there would b> no indeperident dry candidate put forward by the league. He made this decision so as to not to militate against the chance of Mr. Fort. In order to enter an independent can- didate for the Senate race it would have been necessary to sign up 800 voters, and all 800 would have been precluded from going into the primary on Tuesday and voting for Mr. Fort. The Anti-Saloon League had to make its choice whether to select an inde- pendent dry as a cushion upon which to fall back if Mr. Fort failed to be nomindted, or to sink or swim with Mr. Fort. It has chosen the latter course. And right there the chances of Mr. Morrow's being elected to the Senate, should he be nominated at the pri- mary, have been enhanced tremendous- ly. The Morrow managers have feared greatly lest the dry wing of the Re- publican party put up an independent dry Republican to run in the general election next November and that such a candidacy would split the Republican vote and insure the election of the Democratic nominee for the Senate. This danger now appears to have van- ished. It is true that some time ago | Esther H. Elfreth of Haddonfield, a| vice president of the Prohibition Na- tional party committee, filed as an in- dependent, candidate for the Senate. But it is not believed that she will re- ceive a great number of votes or be able to cut into the Morrow strength, if he be nominated. to the extent of bringing about his defeat by the Dem- ocrat. Morrow Appears Amazed. Mr. Morrow, a modest and somewhat retiring man. ‘appears to_be somewhat amazed by the furore which his can- didacy and his declaration in regard to prohibition have brought about, both in the State and throughout the coun- try. His statement in regard to prohi- bition was made not because he him- self desired particularly to speak on the wet and dry issue, but because ! when he got back from the London| Naval Conference, at which he served ! as one of the principal American del- egates, he found sqme 200 letters awaiting him, asking him to state his views on prohibition, and because he was besieged by many leaders in the ER TO ASSIST IN THE ESTAB- of the identity of a most worthy young man, we desire information as to the present whereabouts of the following persons who were employed in the Washing- | the early IN ORDI lishmen!

Little Virginia May Herbert, 3 years old, has had & delightful time during the last 20 hours, even if her mother and father were frightfully worrled for a time and police of Alexandria and Washington were thrown into a case which still remains somewhat of a mys- tery. Last night the little girl had a nice ride, and then a big, kind Washington policeman took her to a station house | with shiny brass rails and fed her lolly- pops.

St ar. Stnfl Photo. Republican party in his State to give his views on this issue. an issue in which Jersey has been interested for years. No campaign address by any man, not excepting those delivered by Presi- dent Hoover and Al Smith in the pres- identlal campaign two vears ago, Te- ceived wider publicity or greater atten- tion than did the speech of Mr. Morrow on prohibition. Overnight he became perhaps the foremost champion of those who are opposed to the present situation with regard to liquor. Over- night he became the chief target of attack by the drys, not alone in Jersey. but throughout the country. For that reason the primary here next Tuesday has focused the attention of the coun- try as no other primary in recent years —not excepting the recent senatorial primaries in_Illinois, where Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick defeated Senator Deneen: in Pennsylvania, where Sec- Tetary James J. Davis defeated Senator Grundy. and in North Carolina, where the veieran Senator Simmons was com- pelled to bow before his opponent, Jo- siah W. Bailey. Issue Is Clear Cut. Prohibition is the issue. and it is squarely joined. The decision would be more clear cut, it is true, if the wets had a single candidate, as have the drys. The primary is to be determined on that issue alone, if the ardent wets and the ardent drys have their wa The candidacy of Mr. Morrow. how- ever, is making an appeal beyond the prohibition issue. Thousands of voters in New Jersey feel that they have a chance to send to the Senate a man of unusual type and ability. There is a feeling of State pride in the support of Mr. Morrow. There are Hundreds and thousands of men and women in the State. “good citizens,” who have in the past neglected their duties in party primary elections. A great num- ber of these political shirkers are in- terested in the candidacy of Mr. Mor- row and are not only going to vote themselves, but are going to see that their friends, and in some cases their employes, go to the polls on Thursday. Mr. Morrow never before has run for an elective office. In a measure, the present campaign may be termed “the political education of Mr. Morrow.” He seems to have taken to politics with the same success that attended his banking operations, when he was a partner in J. P. Morgan & Co., and that attended him on his diplomatic missions. blunders. He is not making a personal attack on his opponents, but is con- ducting a campaign that will make it not impossible for him to support the Republican nominee, whoever he may be, in the general election. He showed not only his courage, but his common sense and his political sagacity when he declared himself frankly on the burning issue in New Jersey today-— prohibition.

Soucek expects foreign assaults soon on the new record of 43,166 feet which he established here last week It cannot be assumed, he said. that he has reached an altitude which will stand for any length of time. He predicted that another assault would be made on the record this Sum- mer, He expressed the belief, however that if the record is taken from the United States, the American aircraft industry will take steps to see that it is brought back to this country. ‘The worst obstacles to altitude flying Lieut.
