One OF the most interesting families
in the diplomatic corps and, for that
matter, in the whole city Of Washing
ton is that OF Count de Buissert, the
minister from Belgium. The children
are great ~favorites at the national cap

through their skill as linguists and
musicians. The children are all boys,
and there are five Of them. Even the
youngest is a good musician, for their
education began at an early age. On
occasions when the count and countess
entertain the youngsters are often

their efforts have won universal COM

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1915
INSURGENCY IN NEW JERSEY.

Machine republicans. claim there is
no insurgency in New Jersey. They
cannot make this claim any longer.
We have been waiting for the final
results of the recent primary cleo
ton to see what the people say.
They have spoken. Charles N. Fow-
Ter was primarily a candidate for the
nomination for congress in the fifth
district. His progressive views were
well known. He has been fighting
Cannon and all that Cannon stands
for along with the other insurgents
in congress. He is recognized as a
most radical insurgent.
While he was trying to get the re-
nomination for congress, his friends
among the progressive republicans
determined to make him a candidate
for the United States senate at the
primaries. A petition was filed and
his name was placed on the republic
can ballot along with Former. Gov
ernors e. G. Stokes and Franklin
Murphy. Mr.. Fowler made little eff
fort to get the senatorial endorse
ment. He conducted no campaign
for it as Stokes did. Fe simply
Stood on his record and allowed the
people to express their choice.
: The returns show that while
Stokes received 1928 votes, Fowler,
the out and out insurgent, got 49,
0s6, only 627 votes behind Stokes,
Whereas Murphy received only 3d.
6B1 votes, being 3,062 behind the
1eader. Who will now say there is
no insurgency in New Jersey? Had
Fowler really made a canvass for
the senatorial nomination there is
to believe that he would have
won. The people are only looking
for a candidate. The reason all the
congressman were renom-
this veal was because no pro-
sgTessiye appeared in the field
them. Had anyone sought
the nomination on a direct anti-Can-
platform, they would have won,
Judging from the big vote given
for senator throughout the
state. Fowler must have surprised
himself, for the claim was so persist
emily made that there was no iEsur-
gency in New Jersey that even the
snsurgeHts-were in ignorance of their
real strength.
E The Fowler vote at the primary
to set the republican leaders
thinking. That~they see no signifi-
canoe inst is evident from the stand |
pat convention held in Trenton Tues !
day. The significance of the vote
will be realized in November. Bro
ken PROMISES Cannonism and cor
poration control make up the record
of the~ republican party under its
present management. The people
cannot be fooled all the time.
