said in part:
g. have been seated at the end Of
the stage admiring the skill with
which your chairman has been run
ming things, and if you want to stoI
him you will have to give him tbs
water cure. There is an old legend
which says that every time a chile
is born man dies. When Governor
Voorhees, was born, I verify believe
the whole community must have
died.
I have known Charley Fowler
long. He is credit to any constit.
uency. Any district who gets him
gets a worthy representative.
1--WE stand now as ever, but more
strongly entrenched for the protection
of American industries, and we
stand for the maintenance of a
national honor under a stainless flag.
"Our Democratic friends, short
sighted as they have been before, are
more short-sighted than ever
Honor and duty at home and
abroad demand that the flag in the
Philippines shall stay there until we
are ready to move it.
A few years ago we didn't know
there were any Republicans in New
Jersey. Now it is one of our
staunchest states.
Keep up the good work. You are
doing we'll, and I congratulate you
upon the denomination of Charles N i.
Fowler.
Congressman Hill, of Connecticut.
followed Mr.. Taylor. He said:
1T is good for US to be here. This
is the first time I have been here. l
want to thank you in behalf of the
House of Representative and in
behalf of all sound money men in
the United States for what you have
done today. I entered Congress with
Mr.. Fowler. We have been side by
side and united in every fight.
"I know he is honest, earnest and
active. Don't make any mistake and
think the financial question is settled.
1t is not and it takes such men as
your nominee today to do this work.
He is equal to the occasion.
Mr.. Fowler is straightforward. You
always know where to find him. -
At this poiIt the nominee appeared
at the entrance. Some one in front
saw him, and it was but moment
until everybody in the hall knew the
had arrived with the pop
ular representative.
Everybody was on their feet. There
was a tumultuous outburst of cheer
ing, and the theatre shook with the
of the cheers which issued
from the threats of the enthusiastic
supporters.
Mr.. Fowler's address was brief.
He said in part:
"The bow which appeared in the
sky an hour ago has been succeeded
by a bow of victory shining from an
unclouded Republican sky.
81 thank you for this nomination
most sincerely and most heartily.
The compliment you have rendered
me outstrips any words can COM
mand.
"This is going to be great district
because of the manifold industries in
it. The iron ore is taken from the
ground here in another part it is
fashioned into needle point. There
are various and many pursuits. The
diversity makes its people most cos
mopolitan.
81 am party man. I believe in
organization. l want party organi-
cation in every district. l don't be-
lieve in bossism. I am your partner
in this fight. want to serve every
man in the district, but my country
above all.
"With the principles of our late
lamented President as my guiding
star and with you as my co-workers,
I hope that at the end of my two
years, I shall merit your thanks. l
need nothing, today, more than
do your confidence.
Immediately after the adjournment
Mr.. Fowler took his stand in front
of the stage and shook hands with
everybody who was present, as all
made circuit of the theatre.
The Morristown delegates reached

selves to the effect that the first Re-
publican convention of the new Fifth

enthusiasm. harmony and general
good fellowship.
