HELPING EDWARDS
WASHINGTON, May ’25.-~V\'altt>r
W. Vick, manager of the presidential
(-zmlpaigu of Governor Edwards, Dem-
ocrat, of New Jersey, denied before
the Senate investigating committee
today that any liquor interests were
“underwriting" the governor's cam-
paign. , ”'
M1: Vick was replying to questions
by Senator Reed, Democrat. Missouri.
Ho had testified that the total fund
raised for his candidate was 512.900.
“Have you got. any other money
pledged or substantially pledged, for
your further use?” asked Senator
Reed. ' ' »
"Some individuals have promised
mo further aid," Mr. Vic}; replied.
"Hare any group of men promised
to underwrite your future expense,
whatever it is?"
“No, sir: the amounts are small."
"All right. let’s put it bluntly,"
Senator vReed continued. “Have the
liquor interests undertaken to finance
your campaign ?"
“No," Vick said sharply. “His cam-
paign is not a ‘.wct’ campaign in any
sense He is running solely on the
platform of his personal convictions
as to personal liberty and business
efficiency. He hasn't himself had a
drink of. anything with alcohol In it
for thirty 38315"
