Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1910-05-23

HIS letter may be summed up as a
plea for denomination to Congress-
Failing in this. he would accept any
other office the people would like To
give him. preferably the Office OF
United States Senator
Mr.. Fowltr's statement in part is as
follows:
Mr.. FowIcrs Letter. }s
"Of course, the insulting and cen
temptuous proprietorship assumed ~
the boss of Morris county in the votes
of that county only concerns the intell
gence, independence and self-respcci .s
the people of Morris and Union cpuH-s
ties. When Mr.. Voorhees, says thai
only 90 votes out of lis in Union counts
will be favorable to me. and that tiiesa
will come from Plainfeld and Ncsl
field, he does not speak of personal
/ knowledge. but he is simply repeating
what the man who assumes proprietor
ship of the voters of Union county tot!
him. I refer to Senator John Kea''
who has undoubtedly told Mr. VOORHEES,
that he would deliver all the TOWNSHIPS
Crawford. Roselle. Railway and El..a
beth--indeed, all the remaining 100 dcls-
gates. just as though they were -
many feet of gas or so many gallons *
water.
Although it is several months before
the primaries are to be held these tssn
men. Daniel S. Voorhees, and Jona
Kean, speak Of delivering the delegates
as so many sheep, or cattle or hogs 0 .
anything else that they would h,ty
Indeed if they ever do deliver any de c.
gates, you may assume with ASSURANCE
that they have been bought, for | ais'
confident that when the delegates fr9E:
Union and Norris counties meet they
will be intelligent, free. ndependenl
and self-respecting men, and will no
be delivered by these two self-appointrd
proprietors, nor by any once else. aud
that when they vote as delegates tiisv
will vote for themselves, but not ct ie@
dictation of ownerships, but at the lis
tation of their own consciences
Mr.. VOORHEES, says Mr. Fowler can
not control all the votes of Union
county I have never tried TO control
one single vote during my public ca
reer. have never asked that any
particular men should go as delegates
to any convention. | have invariably
said. when asked whom | wanted ~
delegates: Send the very best men
you have. and If they do not want ta
support me | do not want the nominal
ton / have never asked a single del
egate nor single voter to cast his
vote for me
Referring to my last nomination
again. Mr. Voorhees, says: MIR Fowler
said that at that time he would re-
ire from Congress at the end OF his
present term This statement in this
onnection carries with it the implica
lion that in consideration of the las-
nomination | would not accept anotb9r
term. This statement made by Nj
Voorhees, is utterly. absolutely and uii-
qualfiedly false. / have never had 4
conversation with Mr. Voorhees, nor
with any other person during all the
time l have been in public life-now
nearly sixteen years-that even remote-
ly involved political promise of aly
kind whatever | never told him rur
anyone else that Kwould not be a cau-
didate again NO ever made any kind
of a political promise to any human
being except such as were in our plat
forms, or made by me before the pnhis-
in my speeches.
Denies Any Political Dcai,
"The one fact that J regard Win
more profound satisfaction than any
other in connection with my public
career is that no person has ever cople
to me during the past sixteen years
and even begun q conversation inyolv-
ing a suggestion that he would support
me upon the condition that l would IN
turn do him some political favor
This charge that | would not asasp
be q candidate is only an old political
gag that is invariably worked by the
tricky political hacks who live on pollt-
! ical trades and plunder. and find that
