MR.. FOWLER TO MAKE A FIGHT
While in Town Annouced That He
Would Appeal TO the Voters.

Would Appeal TO the Voters.
Congressman Charles n. Fowler was
in Morristown on Friday and Saturday
and came in contact with consider.
able number of citizens. He practically
announced that he would be a caudi-
date for the congressional nomination
this fall and will put up fight in the
primaries.
We gather from his conversations
that he will hold a number of mass
meetings in this as well as other coun-
ties in the district. will circulate liter.
ature and make an automobile cam
paign for delegates.
He distributed envelopes containing
literature while here among which
was a card bearing the following plat
form:
MIR. FowLER's PLATFORM
/ am in favor of limiting the power
of the speaker of the house Of repre-
sentatives to the single duty Of pre-
siding over it's deliberations.
| am in favor of pure foods, pure
drugs and honest weights.
| am against national waste and
profligacy and opposed to special priv
ileges, which of necessity invariably
work injustice to the people. | be-
lieve that all of our national resources
covered by the public domain belong
to the people of the United States and
that there inherently exists in the
government the power TO protect and
conserve the property Of the people, to
the end that all the property of the
people may be saved and preserved for
the whole people instead Of favored
few. s
am in favor Of the conservation OF
our greatest asset and chief resource,
the American citizen-his morals. his
health. his inte liigence, his just rights
and equal opportunities under the
operation Of righteous laws.
am in favor OF broad tariff COM
mission, to the end that protection
may be guaranteed to the consumer
as well as to the producer. | am in
favor of tariff based upon ascertained
facts and not based upon corrupt
agreements l am in favor of a tariff
measuring the difference of the cost
of production at home and abroad
More than this is unfair to the Ameri
can consumer, and less than this is un
fair to the American laborer.
believe that every grant Of power
by any state to any corporation carries
with it the implied obligation thai
the power so granted win be exercised
with reason, justice and equity
Therefore, the state granting sucl
power has reserved to itself the righ
20 control and regulate every stat,
corporation and compel it to do JUS
tice and equity to and between al
persons.
Since the power "to regulate com
merce with foreign nations and anon
the several states" was granted t.
the general government, the power t,
compel all corporations doing an inter
state business of commercial char
acter to do justice and equity to AM
between all the citizens of the Unite,
States, resides in the general govern
ment of the United States.
am opposed to a central bank an,
in favor Of financial and bankin
system'in harmony with our politica
institutions-one that will completed
emancipate the United States treas
ury from it's present perils, that vii
base all of our bank credits upon gol'
reserves, and that will give US cur
rency directly related to trade an
commerce, and convertible into gol
coin.
