Mr. BuKbee's campaign, which re- sulted so disastrously to tho Republican'', was managed by Edward C. Stokes, for whom Mr. Dugbee performed a similar service In 1913 when Mr. Stokes was defeated for Governor by James F. Fielder, Democrat, by a plu- rality of 32.S50. . Mr. Uugbeo proved himself to De a pootl loser by sending this message to Mr. Edwards yesterday: fnneratulatloiiH 'on your victory. K I had to lose I would prefer l(Mnr to you rather than to any one I know.\ Although It was generally accepted as a fact that Mr. Edwards's victory was a protest of Jerseymcn (Jersey wo- men can't vote) against tho national prohibition amendment, politicians In both parties contended that other causes contributed to Mr. uugueos uncai. SafTriiRlstft Aided Kdwnnl. Advocates or woman suffrage declare that Mr. Edwards's out nnd out stand for equal suffrage helped nlm a lot. while Mr. Bugbeo's position on that live question lost him thousands of votes. Others charged th it the Democratic elalm that th'J Public Service Corporation favored Uie election of Mr. Bugbee aJded materially In Inducing many voters to support Mr. Edward?, who la president of the First National Bank of Jersey City. A general public clIsH'no to the opera- tion of the new zoning and tiolley fare order, promulgated by the Public Utili- ties Commission, they said, found voters in a frame of mind where they were per- fectly willing to believe that the Jersey corporations like Republicans better than Democrats. ' Still others declared that control of thlncs Republican by of tho G. O. P. Stat leaders, notably Walter K hdge, United States Senator, and David lialril. former United States Senator, pushed the partv nlong to certain defeat, and not they are calling for new leadership for the Presidential campaign of 1920. The real Issue that decided tho elec- tion, however, tho Democratic leaders contend, was the great and glorious \wet\ Issue, which Mr. Edwards, a. tee- totaler, bandied with much adepness in all his campaign speeches. 1'rohlliltliiii the Only Ihmiic. Mr Bugbee apparently felt the same way about it.

It was a matter of 'wot' and 'dry' Votes were jpllt both ways.

I am going to remain right on tho Job.\ In a statement issued yesterday soon after he was assured of election, Mr. Edwards said : \The 'victory was ono of principle nnd was not an Individual triumph, and it will bo my pleasant duty to carry out the solemn pledges as made by me In the cnnjpalgn nnd to put Into practlco the principles enunciated In the Demo- cratic State platform. \The people made the fight for the preservation of personal liberties which have been sd dear to them since the foundation of this republic. And as a more recent doctrine they have main- tained that the people and not the cor- porations shall rule In purely State af- fairs. 'The attempt of a combination of machine politicians and public utility Interests to control the.' politics of the State has received the rebuke It so richly deserved.'1 Mr. Edwards received yesterday this telegram from President Wilson : \Pleas accept my heartiest congratulations upon your election. c ANTI-SALOO- N FOES VICTORS AT POLLS Haskell Spurned Dictation of Drys and Was Swept Tn by 70,100. SWEET DEFIED ANDEHSOX Gillett, in Columbia, Was Tar- get for Drys and Had Pee-.- . ord Plurality. Study of tho results of tho election on Tuesday shows that the opposition to tho Federal prohibition amendment on tho part of many people played not a little figure. Wherever the Issue was raised, wherover tho n Leaguo went \after tho scalp\ of a candidate' that man usually won. The 70,400 plurality of Representative Reuben L, Haskoll for County Judge In Brooklyn was the most notable Instance There tho Issue was clearly Joined be cause Representative Haskell Btands for a nationwide referendum on the repeal of tho Eighteenth Amendment. The strongest tactics of the Anti-Saloo- n League wero used against Haskell, yet ho beat his Democratic opponent In ter- ritory usually 40.000 Democratic by nearly twice the latter figure, Speaker Thaddeus C. Sweet In Os- wego county was bitterly attacked by William II. Andofron of the n Leaguo and recelvd the Indorsement of the Association Opposed to National Prohibition. Yet Speaker Sweet was reelected to the Assembly by 3,000 more than he received a year ago. Ransom H. Gil- lett, candldae for the Assembly In Co- lumbia county, was one of Anderson's targets. He won by a plurality larger than has been received by a Republican candidate there for a long time. Tho Association Opposed to National Prohibition Issued a statomerlt last night !n regard to the results of the election In the various States. It said In part: ' \At tho elections on Tuesday consti- tutional prohibition waa a real or \near Issue In seven States. It was condemned and dofeated by voters of New York, New Jersey, .Massachusetts, Virginia, Kentucky nad Maryland. Prohibition was victorious In only one of the seven States where the Issue was raised and that waa the State of Ohio, Tho victory was Important and decisive. The elec- torate of the Buckeye Stato gave the 'wets' a resounding wallop and a wallop, that hurtv The 'wet' victory In New Jersey, however, was quite as Important and quite as declltvo as tho prohibition victory in Ohio. . \The LeglslaXurc of Massachusetts will bo decidedly 'wet,' thus making the passage of a bill to enforce the Eight- eenth Amendment, until the highest court In the land hap passed upon It, \In Virginia the Anti-Saloo- n League a and Its prohibition enforcement officers were the chief Issue and they wcro routed horse, foot and dragoons. \As between Republicans and Demo- crats tho Issue In Maryland was In doubt at tho time this statement waa Issued, early yesterday aftornoon, but whichever candidate for Governor wins nn ardent prohibition- ist will bo the noxt Governor of Mary- land. The Maryland Legislature will bo 'wet' by a very considerable majority. \In Kentucky tho voters had a, straight prohibition Issue before them, Inasmuch asthey were called upon to approvo or Mlsapprovo nn amendment to th Constitution forovor prohibiting tho sale and uso of alcohol for beverage purposos. , \In Greater Now York the members of tho Association Opposed to National Prohibitions and the opponents of con- stitutional prohibition won a notablo victory. Of tho twenty-thre- o candidates for tho Assembly Indorsed by tho asso- ciation In New York county twenty wc-r- elected. Only threo candidates In New York county who were not Indorsed w hn niwiielntlnn were elected. In Kings county the association Indorsed candldates in twenty-tw- o \ \ of these sixteen wero elected.

II\ said. \The wets wanted a referendum on rat.Hcatlon nnd they got It In' the neck. They had their referendum voto In Ohio, tho 'bljgest prohibition State, with the 'largest city population. The people of Ohio not only indorsed ratification or the amendment, but they have indortcd Slate prohibition by apparently four times as big a majority as the first one, and Jiave Indorsed the enforce, ment act passed b.y tho State Legisla- ture and havo repudiated 2,7.1 per cent, boer and the soldiers wero at home and o(Tng! Ohio Is the only place of any considerable Importance where the pro- hibition Issue was' clear yesterday, and the wets were knocked out on every phas of the Issue. \The prohibition forces also won In Kentucky.

J Sneclal Ditvatch to Tnr. Sns. j WASHjNnTON, Nov. 6. Ardent proht- - bltlonlsts In Congress have started a move to keep the country dry \hencc- - forth and forever.\ Knowing that ,re(l(lfnt yvilson m,ca wnr time Prohibition as soon as It Is legally pos- - slblo, they have determined to extend j tho war drought until the constitutional lid Is clamped down on January 10, 1H20. Two ways apparently are open for the prevention of a wet period. One Is nn extcnslonNjf the war time prohibi- tion act for six months after the proc- lamation of peace and the other Is by putting prohibitive tax on distilled rplrlts now held In bond nnd other liquors. The request of Attorney-Gener- Palmer for a six months extension of the Lever Food Control Act beyond tiie proclamation of peace seems to have given Impetus to the plan of the radical prohibitionists. Representative Ran- dall (Cal.), Prohibition party member, y stated ho would movo to extend the war tlmo prohibition act at the time the House considers prolonging the Lever Inw. Prohibitionists point out t hat war time prohibition nil during Its Journey through Congress has been connected with the food control and stimulation laws. The wnr time law Is not a part of the Lever act, but It 's a section of a later food control law, which Its title claims Is fcr the purpose of enabling the Secretary of Arglculture to enforce the Lever act. The enforcement act was approved November 51, 1918, while the original Lever act was signed by the President August 10, 1917. Other prohibitionists Indicated that the conditions of unrest throughout the country might prove a factor In the gap.

The 29 missing counties last year gave the drya a majority of 32,000. Gains by the drys In other countlca create tho belief that tho amendments t.avo been defented. Chief Statistician Johnson of the Secretary's olllco continued to predict that all four proposals had been carried by the drys, some of them byJ from 50,000 to 75,000. He admitted, however, that later returns show that the dry majority for tlio Crabbe prohibi- tion enforcement bill referendum may not bo as large as he at first anticipated. On available returns at tho State House the wet majority on tho Crabbe act referendum was larger than Jho majorities on either of the other three proposals, being 03,659. The ratification referendum gavo a wet majority on the same figures of 00,010, the 2.75 per cent beer amendment gave a wet majority of 52,253 and the reneal proposal gavo a wet majority of 39,248. On the strength of available returns at noon L.
