REPUBLICAN, TICKET.
For Congress, Fifth District:
CHARLES n. FOWLER,
OF UNION.

Dewitt O. Flanagan was nominated
recently by the Fifth District Demo-
cratic Convention for Congress, re-
marks the Railway Advocate, as was
expected. That comparatively un-
known, untried and inexperienced
man was accorded this honor, rather
than one Of the old and faithful lead
ers, is only accounted for by the fact,
and that is that the nominee is rich
The voters of this populous and in
digent district will hardly be inclined
to substitute such candidate for
Charles NJ Fowler, who is recognized
throughout the country as one of the
ablest representatives i'll Congress.
The Jersey City journal gives the
following information rs to who Mr..
Flanagan is and how he was dis
covered
sd W. G. Flanagan, of Morris
County has been nominated for Con-
gress against Congressman Fowler.
1t is not easy to identify De Witt
Clinton Flanagan of New York, as
the gentleman from Morris, but he is
the same person.
Over in New York, Mr.. Flanagan S
name Immediately suggests the Clau-
sen Brewing Company and incident
ally the Flanagan-Nay Co., the
Dredging and Filtering Co., the
Tight Joint Co. A little thought
recalls the fact that Mr.. j anagan
married r. T. Woodward daughter
in Morristown a few years ago, and
hence had residence in Morristown,
so to speak, in his wife's name.
Mr.. Flanagan is a very nice young
man, about 80 years of age, and is a
millionaire. He has a stud farm of
700 acres near Baltimore, Md. He is
generally described as bright and in
telligent He has had no political
experience.
William r. Cooke, of Morris Coun-
ty, is credited with the discovery of
Mr.. Flanagan.

half past ten it was so dark that it
was necessary to use artificial light.
The continuous thunder and brilliant
lightning with an atmosphere that ap-
parently had more or less of the SUI
pernatural in it caused considerable
comment among both young and old.
The down pour Of rain continued for
half an hour. During the afternoon
the weather was sticky" but there
was little to mark the heavy storm of
the morning.
In New York City and Paterson the
storm was much more severe than in
this section. The Paterson Gall says
"'that between 11.02 and II. % it was
so dark that hand could hardly be
seen before it's owners face. -

TO REGULATE SPEED OF AUTOS.

The auto scorcher has become so
great nuisance in Camden and
Atlantic counties that the Boards of
Freeholders of the two counties in
conference have agreed upon twelve
miles an hour as the maximum speed
for automobiles on public roads
within the two counties. By adopt
ing an indentical ordinance the Free
holders of the two counties will be
able to suppress the dangerous nui
sance on the ROAD running from Cam
den to Atlantic City. now the favor
tie speedway of chauffeurs, dash
recklessly along the smooth road re-
gardiess OF the rights of pedestrians
or drivers of horse drawn vehicles.
Commenting on the proposed speed
regulations, the Mount Holly Herald
SAYS
There is no lack of liberality in
the proposition made before the joint
Boards of Freeholders of Atlantic and
Camden counties, allowing automo-
biles to run at twelve miles an hour
on the county roads and affixing for
a violation. Twelve miles an hour is
a great speed for vehicles on a common
highway, so great that any excess be
most difficult to prove and when the
line is placed at such small figure,
it simply encourages fast riding and
provides a defense for those who are
inclined to violate the law. 1t will
be many years before automobiles are
in general use, and their number
must necessarily be few, it is there
fore, the part of wisdom that the
rights of the general public should be
carefully guarded.

Her Persistent Habit.

She had a little hammer,
She used it with will,
She knocked at everybody
They couldn't keep her still;
She knocked about her neighbors
If they were friends or foes,
She knocked about tie table,
And knocked about her clothes.
She knocked at hubby's smoking,
About his snoring, too;
She knocked about his whistling,
And so, perhaps, would you;
AT last the Reaper claimed her.
Her course on earth was run;
Her husband then considered
Her knocking days were done.
But hubby went one evening
TO see a spirit show,
Where always, in the cleaning,
The spirits come and go,
He heard spirit knocking
My wife, he said, "I'll bet
Now, isn't she wonder?
By gosh she's knocking yeti"

The planks adopted at the Iowa
Republican Convention referring to
trusts and tariff are about t he same
as those adopted q year ago. The
slight changes and additions made
were necessary to modify certain tariff
schedules III order to curtail the
power of the trusts and are clearly
set forth. The platform, it is gener-
ally understood, is in entire accord
with the views of President Roose-
Welt, although at no time has he
stated that he regarded tariff revision
as the proper means of regulating
the trusts. This he has attempted to
do through the courts by means of the
laws 'already on the statute books. That
the Republican party will not hest
tate to amend certain schedules of the
Dingley bill when changes of condi-
tions warrant it is we'll established
fact. That has been one of the objects
of the protection policy from it's in
ception and is in no way a deviation
from the views of the staunohest pro-
tectionists.

She ventured in the briny deep

And though at that momentous time
Her screams were plainly heard,
Yet when lobster squeezed her waist
She didn't say word.

MORRIS PROBABLY WILLING

There is a tempest in a teapot over
in Demands Township caused by the
refusal of the Board of Freeholders of
Somerset County to construct water
way in Bernardsyille. When the
stone road was built through that
town, the surface water on the north
side of the main street was detected
across the street TO a water way
finally reaching the centre of the
village where after heavy showers
the roadway, cutters and sidewalk
are badly washed The Somerset
Messenger says: "This action on
the Board has caused considerable
criticism in that vicinity, and there
is already some talk of having a por-
ton Of Bernards Township annexed
to Morris County, While we believe
this talk will end in wind, it is we'll,
if possible, to remove the cause OF
complaint. I"
