FOWLER WILL CONTEST.
Wants the Seat of Hon. Chas. R.
Thomas in Congress.
In tho Las, Campaign. by Single Evolu-
ton. He BiossumeI FROM n Popuist
Into Republican Two Other Contests
From North Carolina Talked of.

A special from Washington, d. c.,
says:
John z. Fowler will contest the cleo
ton OF Charles r. Thomas in the third
district in the Fifty-scventh Congress-
While this announcement is not made
officially. notice of contest not yet hav-
ing been served, this information
comes from high Republican sources
and can be accepted as authentic.
FOWLER'S EVOLUTION.
MIR. Fowler, in his last campaign. by
n simple evolution, blossomed out from
a Populist into q Republican. The step
was not long to take, as the chasm
separating Populism and Republican
ism in North Carolina is not wide. Mr..
Thomas had 1909 majority over Fow-
Ter. but that cuts no figure when Re
publican House has to deal with con-
tested election cases In the South
Crawford was turned out with Il big
majority; Young, of the Norfolk dis
trict. was unseated with a majority
behind him, and now Maynard who
has just defeated Wise in the Norfolk
district by 10000 majority, is threaten
ed with q contest from the same man,
Wise. who hopes to misrepresent the
people of Tidewater Virginia through
the grace of a Republican Congress,
and what makes the pill more bitter
Is, that this Congress was elected in
States like Maryland and New York
by the votes of sons of men of the
South. who since the war have gone
North and vote with what they are
pleased to term the business element"
in antagonsm to their brothers and
fathers in the South.
TWO OTHER CONTESTS.
Two other contests in the next House
from North Carolina are mentioned as
probable. but they nre not yet decided
upon. They are In the Second and
Fifth districts in which the Kitchin
brothers were elected.
In the Second district Claude Kitchin
defeated Martin by over 10000 votes
