Sator Kaon cor+rols the Renuh-
ljoan machine in Union, the most popus
lo1s county in the Fifth congressional
district Fowler has a large political
following in the district however.
Fowler and Kean have been at log
gerheads ever since they were in Yale
together in the late seventies, while
President Taft was a student there.
They have had many political squab-
bles, but till now they were never en-
gagged in open warfare. Kean has for
years wanted another representative in
Washington from his district and Fow-
Ter has right along been cognizant of
the fact. The Regulars besides Kean
have wished for the retirement of
Fowler. too, but till now they have
not showed their hano.
Publicly Senator Kean has made no
announcement of his attitude in the
present contest against Fowler, but
the Fowler letter will now likely force
the senior senator to do so.
Senator Kean would probably prefer
peace in Union. Warren and Morris

such men as former Governor Edward
C. Stokes, former Governor Franklin

Candidacy Not Taken Seriously.
Talk OF Fowler as a candidate for
the Kean seat was never taken serious
iy by the Regular Republicans. They
figured that the Progressives would
never march under the Fowler banner.
Fowler's friends know that he prefers
to retain his present berth than to
take chance for the higher but more
uncertain honors.
. Fowler's scare of four years ago is
still fresh in his mind. In 1908 he was
srenon1dnnted and at the general election
