The Morris County chronicle., 1902-10-10
NORRIS FOR FOWLER.

The, Honorable Charles N. Fowler,
who is visiting the various neighbor-
hoods in this county, and delivering
addresses, is meeting with rouslng
reception wherever he goes, not only
from Republicans, who are thorough
ly united on his candidacy, but from
independents voters, and consldera-
BILE number of Democrats.
The New York Tribune of yester-
day published an interesting article
on the political outlook IN Morris
County, concluding with the follow
ing interview with James II. Nc
Graw of Madison, chairman of the
Republican County Committee, and
who, by the way, is thoroughly post
ed on the situation in the county.
Mr.. McGraw said;
Morris County could not be in
better shape for the Republicans.
The Republican County convention,
held at Dover on Tuesday, was made
up of representative Republicans
from all parts of the county. and
more enthusiasm was manifested than
has been known at such a gathering
in long time. Morris County gave
Governor Murphy last year about 800
majority. We confidentally expect to
do even better than that for Mr..
Fowler this year.
"The county ticket nominated on
Tuesday is a strong one from every
point of view. David Young, who
has made most efficient Surrogate,
was re-nominated by acclamation.
The people Of Morris County like him
greatly, and his nomination undoubt-
edIy will give strength to the ticket.
Mr.. Ryerson of Pequannoc Town
ship, the nominee for Sheriff, comes
from good old Dutch stock he isS a.
veteran of the Civil War, and is in
every way a satisfactory candidate.
His support in the convention was
hearty and enthusias He is ex-
ceedingly popular wherever known.
''Mr. Brown and Mr.. Hillery, she
nominees for the Assembly, are ex-
celient men, Mr.. Brown having
served one term. Mr.. Hillery is q
rising young lawyer of Boonton, and
one of the strongest possible candi-
dates that could be named for the
place. stfsF
"Mr. Fowler, the Republican
candidate for Congress. is we'll known
in Morris County. although it is tho
first time that this county has been
included in his district. All reports,
whether by Republicans or others,
that Mr.. Fowler's opponent will re-
ceive any great number of Republican
votes in Morris County are, in SO far
as I cam see. without any stable
foundation, Mr.. Fowler is making
an energetic campaign, and the good
record he has made in Congress dur
ing his four terms in the House, by
his craftsmanship and unquestioned
ability, which are we'll known every
where, leads me to believe that Nor
ris County will return for him about
1000 majority.
"It is emphatically true" said
Mr.. McGraw. in reply to an in
quiry," that there not only is no dis
satisfaction within the rank and file
of the Republican party in Morris,
but the leaders-or those who are
called leaders, by courtesy. since we
all are leaders-are in full harmony
in their determination to elect the
whole Republican ticket. In my
home town of Madison, as we'll as in
every town and township in the
county, we are preparing to give
good account of the Republican
ticket, and Mr.. Flanagan's s hopes Of
Republican support from any part
of Morris are built upon a foundation
so slender and shaky that they will
be lost lin the general result of the
election. Congressman Fowler win
receive such hearty support in Nor
ris County that it will make the
Warren County Democrats work hard
to match it for Mr.. Flanagan. -.
