MR. FOWLER
RENOMINATED
Congressman Named at Fifth
District Republican Con
vention on Monday
SENATOR HILLERY CHAIRMAN
The Fifth District Republican con
vention was held in Rhillipsburg on
Monday. It was so generally under
stood that Mr. Fowler’s renomination
was assured that less interest than us
ual was taken in the convention, al
though those in attendance showed no
lack of enthusiasm.
Former Senator Jacob Welsh, of
Morris county, called the convention
to order, after which Senator T. H. Ilil
lery was chosen chairman. Following
the reports of committees, during
which the platform was presented, A.
E. Woodruff, of Rahway, placed Mr.
Fowler’s name in nomination. The
nomination was seconded by John I. B.
Reilly, of Warren, and by William H.
Anni8, of Morris.
After his nomination Congressman
Fowler was escorted to the hail and
spoke upon the currency question,
pledging his support to the reform
measure which he advocated. Taft
enthusiasm ran high throughout the
convention. In the speeches by Mr.
Fowler and Mr. Reilly Bryan was de
nounced. Mr. Reilly called the Demo
cratic candidate “a purposeless coiner
of words.” Congressman Fowler re
ferred to his principles as destructive
and disastrous to the business of the
country.
The platform of the convention in
cluded an indorsement of the Roose
velt policies and the expression of con
fidence in Judge Taft’s ability to carry
them out. It seconded Taft’s position
as to tariff reform and ended with an
endorsement of Mr. Fowler’s currency
measure.
Representative Fowler has been a
conspicuous member of Congress for
many years and gained much promin
ence last year by his asset currency
bill. He was born at Lena, 111., on
November 2nd, 1852, and is in the
banking business.

quarters. From the end of the line at
the top of Speedwell avenue work will
be pushed through to get the line as

the company’s intention to put one
car on the line and run it back and
forth from police headquarters to the
end of the line. No arrangements have
jet been made to secure current and a
shipment of poles ordered may tend to
delay the work of construction some
