Judge Fort requested a hearing before
the legislature and presented the case
so cogently that the bill passed both
houses By practically a unanimous
vote. SO popular was the Measure
that whenever the senator from Essex
thought of that "by request" he went
into a secluded spot and kicked him
self. The probation system puts men
sentenced to prison on their honor and
allows them to remain at large during
good behavior. 1t sounds well in theo-
ry and has worked in practice.
Rid Long Branch of Gamblers.
Driving the gamblers out Of Long
Branch is another case In point.
Everybody said it could not be done.
The gamblers had large amounts in
vested. ran some Of the most notorious
joints around New York, were In
trenched in power and controlled poll
tics. Justice Fort had nothing on his
side but the law and the fact. He
held the grand jury in continuous ses-
sion, indicted the light fingered gen.
tlemen, convinced them that he meant
business, then told them to leave the
state and If they ever came back he
would send them to state prison. They
! went and did not return.
Fort "a still on the supreme bench
when he vas nominated for governor.
The politicians wanted him to con-
tinue holding the Office after his nomi-
nation, offering many precedents for
such a course. But that was not
Forts way. While going to the con
vention that had just named him for
governor he met Governor Stokes on
the stairs leading to the hall, handed
In his resignation as justice, then
mounted the platform and accepted
the nomination.
Just there occurred another incident
that showed the timbre of the man.
The bishops law was then a lively is
sue in Jersey politics. That law pro-
vides for the removal of window
screens and other distractions to Vi
Sion from all saloons and drinking

Orator of National Repute.

Evidences Of backbone accumulate.
Twelve years have passed, and Mr..
Fort is again a delegate in a national
convention and once more the chair
man Of the committee on credentials.
AS such he prepares and delivers a
scathing report recommending that ].

Delaware-be fired out Of the conven-
ton and out Of the party. That was
the Mckinley year, and 1t was also
Judge Forts privilege to make the
nominating speech for Carrot A. Ho-
bart for vice president. I do not know
whether 1t was the speech that got
Hobart the plum or not, but l have
my suspicious. At any rate, the skin
ming of Addicks and the naming of
Hobart brought Fort a national repu-
tation as an orator.
Judge Fort is the author Of the pro-
baton system in New Jersey, and the
story Of the name in which he
brought it about again reveals his
courage. When he first proposed such
a law he had trouble in finding a leg
islator who would stand for it. His
own senator from Essex virtually re"
fused to introduce the bill, but finally
consented to put it in ''by request

TFI were trying to describe in a
word the most distinctive trait of
John Franklin Fort, governor OF
New Jersey, I should say it is po-
1itica1 honesty. He believes that a
law is on the statute book to be en-
forced; that a promise is in a party
platform to be kept.
On the inside it is said that If Pres
ident Roosevelt and President Elect
Taft had had their way Fort would
now be the vice president elect in
place of Sunny Jim" Sherman OF
Utica, N. Y. Personally I wish that
Roosevelt and Taft had won out in
this matter, although it would have
been a pity to waste as good a man as
Fort on that Job.
2 In a way Governor Fort is to New
Jersey what Governor Hughes is to
New York. The two are good friends
and recently spent a day together In
consultation. Hughes anti race track
legislation is balanced by Forts acts
in driving gambling out Of Long
Branch when he was on the supreme
bench and his threat as governor to
call a special session Of the legislature
to deal with the ease If the hotels and
saloons Of Atlantic City did not obey
the Sunday closing law. Both men
demand advanced primary laws and
the Massachusetts ballot, both are
good lawyers and believe in high
standards in politics, and both have

Paid Back Every Cent.

~AS CouAoSS " say Wuot lucy tAAi1h
and do what they say.
Paid Back Every Cent.
There are a few instances In the ca
reer Of Governor Fort that illustrate
the quality Of the man. The first oc-
CURED just after he was out Of law
school. His father had advanced mon
ey for young Forts education, but the
boy did not rest until out Of his first
earnings he paid back every cent.
The second incident occurred when
the young man was choosing a career.
He is not the first New Jersey gov
ernor In the Fort family, his uncle,
George I. Fort, having held that exalt-
ed Office back in the ifties. When ad-
vising with the old gentleman about
the way to grab the success fruit off
the political tree the original Governor
Fort advised his nephew to move to
Jersey City and become a Democrat,
as that was the only party through
which he could hope for preferment.
To this the young man demurred. he
did not object to Jersey City, but he
was a Republican and would not
change his coat for an Office.
The third characteristic event was
pulled off many years later, In the
meantime John Franklin Fort had
been doing things, had served a long
time as district Judge, was a leader at
the bar and a political orator recog-
nized by bis party. In was in 1884,
and his friends wanted him to be a
delegate at large to the national con-
vention. There was an obstacle in the
way. He was for Edmunds for presi-
dent, while New Jersey had declared
for Blaine. He stood by his guns and
made a speech for Edmunds in the
state convention. It must have been a
good speech, for he was elected dele.
gate at large despite his Edmunds
proclivities. In that same year Theo.
dore Roosevelt wal a delegate at large
from the state Of New York and was
also for Edmunds, who had a few
other votes-very few. Despite the
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1909-02-04

places on Sundays and election days,
The liquor interests, Of course, op-
posed it, and the politicians advised
Fort to sidestep the issue or go light
on its Endorsement, but that again was
not his way. He came out fatfootedly
for the law and made 1t n Of the
chief issues Of his campaign.
And he meant it. He proved that
after he was elected governor. Allan
tic City found 1t out in a rather jar
ring amer. There Sunday closing Is
a joke, or was till Fort told them that
If they did not obey the law he would
call an extra session Of the legislature
and see what could be done about It.
Then Atlantic City awakened to the
quality Of the man, as Long Branch
had done before, and for the first time
in her history actually closed her sa-
looms on Sunday. The natives have
not got over the wonder Of the thing
to this day.
More Than q Party Man.
That Fort has a real spinal column
in place Of the cartilage that too often
does service for that important organ
is revealed by other incidents Of his
career-for example, his fight against
the bosses Of his own party to bring
about a better financial system for
Newark or his opposing the wishes Of
the politicians by ln~augurating civil
service in the state. Manhood tran
sends ~partisanism. Courage and con-
viction are higher than politics. Gov
ernor Fort Is a party man, but he Is
more. He is loyal to the organization,
but does not consider that the organi-
cation consists alone off, few bosses.
He is regular and yet, after his own
ideals, Is a reformer. The first article
Of his political creed is the sacredness
Of the law. The next is trust in his
fellow man. l think I will have gen.
eral assent in saying that John Frank
lin Fort is the Roosevelt and Taft
leader in his state, and I have my
own assent in adding that the nation
! will know him better before he quits
politics.
1t was me of the slushiest days OF
winter when I went to Trenton to inter.
view Governor Fort. To heighten the
interest of the occasion, the street car
conductor, after the manner Of his
kind, carried me several blocks beyond
my destination. When I got off to take
a car back the street was full Of run
ming water and melting snow, and as
I picked my way to the curb l tried to
imagine I was G. Washington crossing
the ice fecked Delaware to fight the
battle Of Trenton. Ever since that day
1 have had q more lively appreciation
Of Washington's feat. I wonder what
the Father Of His Country would do II
he ran up against the legislative Hes.
SLAMS at Trenton now. And that re.
calls me from this aggressive side patti
to Governor Fort. for that IS Just what
| Fort has to do.

fact that he was for a loser, Fort held
an important post in the national con-
vention, that Of chairman Of the Gre
dentials committee.

Tall and Handsome.

found the governor about the hand
soonest man l have run up against
since the days when I used to play
chess with Charlie Magoon out In Lin
coin. Magoon wore q silk hat ever in
those days, as though he had a prophet
ic bunch that he would be his excel
lency Of Panama and Cuba some day.
1 think Fort has it even over Magoon
in the matter Of looks. Indeed. In a
job lot Of governors he would have all
the rest looking like cheap limitations.
He Is tall, but not too tall; feshy, but
not too feshy; youthful looking for his
years and yet redeemed from a too
adolescent appearance by an iron gray
| close cropped mustache. His photo
graphs are like him and yet fall to re-
veal the fine lines of his face. II I
were ordering a governor to fill the
ideal specifications at every point l do
not see how l could much improve on
Fort. True, he has not the exuberant
whiskers Of Hughes, but for that l
a forgive him with my whole heart.
My talk with Governor Fort was not
an interview, but a chat. l wanted to
know the man, not to pump him or
put words into his mouth. He said
n thing, however, that caught me.
1t expressed his jubilant faith In
Americanism and fundamental de-
mocracy. A Republican legislature
had just elected Chamberlain, a Dem
ocrat. senator from Oregon in obedi-
ence to a mandate from the people.
To Fort this seemed a triumph of hui
man honesty and popular government.
He favored election Of senators by the
people. He believed, with De Tocque-
vile, that the cure for the evils Of de-
mocracy is more democracy. Put men
on their honor. The masses have
shown their capacity for orderly gov
eminent. Trust them. These are but
indications Of what he really did say,
but he got my goat right there. In
decd, he got it from his first frank
look and hearty word. My heart is

Public Speaker Early In Life.
John Franklin Fort was born in
1852, when his uncle was governor.
He comes from an old stock, there be-
ing III the family an old oak trunk,
dated "Roger Fort, 1862" 1t is plain
that trunk was never subjected to the
mercies of the modern baggage smash
er. Young Fort graduated from PEN
nington seminary and intended to en-
ter college, but financial reverses pre-
vented. He taught instead and then
went to Albany Law school. where he
was a roommate Of Judge Alton B.
Parker. Returning to Jersey, he
made speeches for Grant before be
was of age. As a result, he was made
assistant journal clerk in the legisla-
ture. Later he was admitted to the
bar, stumped the state for George A.
Halsey for governor, was appointed
district Judge by Governor George b.
Mcclellan, a Democrat, presided over
the convention that nominated Gen
eral e. Burd Grub for governor ana
over that which named John w.
Griggs for the same Office, was made
a Judge Of common pleas In 1887 ana
about four years later was elevated =
J the supreme bench.
