THE CONGRESSIONAL CoNvEN-
TIoN.

AS yet no one has been selected to
preside over the republican con-
gfessional convention, which will be
held in the Plaintield theatre, on Fri
day, September IS, when a candidate
for congress win be nominated by
the delegates elected at the primaries
on September 13. 1t is tine custom to
select prominent republican from
one of the counties as chairman. and
inasmuch as Union county will fur
nlsh the candidate this year, it is
likely that the presiding officer will
be Morris or Warren county man.
The convention will assemble at
ll.5O a. M, when the PIP delegates
will be in their seats, and the work of
etlecting a temporary organization
will be disposed of.
After selecting a temporary chair
man and secretary, both of whom are
made permanent after the adjourn
ment, committees on rules, resolu-
tons organizations, etc, will be named
ana during the recess period these
c mmittees will accomplish the work
Tor which they were appointed. Union
coulty's representation in the conven-
tion is l08; Morris, 70; and Warren,
80. The candidate securing the nomi-
nation must have 107 votes. The con-
test now being waged by Messrs. Run
yon and Fowler is warming up, and
as the date of the primaries draws
near moses are being counted, and
estimates are being made of the
probable strength of each candidate
before the convention.

WE publish in another colnmn a
communication in regard to the Sc
curingo of the Revere house-on DeHart
street for building in which to dis
play articles Of historic value to Nor
ristown. While the scheme is COM
mendable in many ways, it is very
doubtful If anything comes from it un-
less some individual is sufficiently in
terested to show his faith by his works
and gives or secures a sum that will
be an incentive for Others to give.
The Young Mems Christian associas
tion building is, notable instance Of
this character. There was more on
less talk for several years, as to Its
necessity but not until DIR. #. W.
owen came forward with goodly
sum as nucleus wasthe matter taEsI
up seriously, and then the building
was assured The late John Canfiel6
had the same idea. Feeling the neeo
Iof historical centre he made the in
itial outlay TO secure and furnish {
room and had he been spared for few
years the scheme would have been car
Tried out.

FOWLER AND THE SENATE.

Congressman Fowler, of course, feels
that he is on the defensive in running
for the United States Senate and for
the House Of Representatives at the
same time. He stops to explain and
to offer ingenious explanations. But
he does not take the people into his
confidence. He does not give them
the reason why he is asserting, on the
one hand, that he has great work to
do in the House Of Representatives,
and why, on the other hand, he has
filed petition so that the people may
vote for him for United States Sena-
tor Possibly the reason would not
look good in print.
Mr.. Fowler's boom for the United
States Senate was stsrted in Elizabeth
on June 3, when it was stated that a
9 State League for the Election of
United States Senators by Popular
Vote' was to be launched. When
the league had endorsed Mr.. Fowler's
candidacy it had evidently accom-
plished its purpose. The ridiculous
ness of a statewide movement ap-
cared at once, and those who were
present at the gathering have not
ceased yet to be amused at the part
they played in furthering Mr.. Fowler's
Senatorial aspirations. 1t was all a
cut and dried affair, and was without
the faintest spark of spontane.ty.
The position Of insincerity which
Mr.. Fowler finds himself in to-day is
troubling him because it has caused
his friends great anxiety. 81 canno5
understand him exclaim those who
have not seen the Congressman's Bit
terness of spirit get frmer and firm
er hold of him.
Many of his admirers who believe
that Mr.. Fowler has great work to
do 10 the House and who know well
enough that he has not ,Che remotest
chance OF reaching the Senate, have
given up trying to figure out on any
rational basis what he is trying to do.
Mr.. Fowler has become puzzle to his
own friends. 1t would be easy to
name many who have drawn away
from him because of the very evident
lnslncerity OF the two campaigns he Is
waging. Falling between two stools
ne will have only himself to blame, as
evidently he himself now realizes.

COMMENTING on the primary fight
for United States senator between
Murphy and Stokes, the friends of the
former point to the fact that his coun-
ty has in it as many republican vot-
ers as there are in all South Jersey,
leaving out of consideration Camden
county where there is not likely to be
much Of vote in the contest. The in
ference is that Stokes vote in south
Jersey will be overwhelmed by the vote
in Essex. The candidates are foxy
politicians, and If the contest was be-
tween them for practical results it
would be amusing TO watch their
movements. The senatorial primary
farce will not be fully staged until
the several special interests begin
Interrogation of legislative candidates
to have them pledge themselves to
support them. The wise candidates
viii! ignore all petitions to make
pledges to do this, that or the other
thing for the qualification of classes
or interests. II pledge after nomin-
alton by the people was necessary, it
should be simple one to do full duty
for the welfare of the state and the
people, as best Judgment may direct
and without dictation from any other
source.

lately occupied by her on DeHart
street, near Maple avenue, will come

thaS this would make good Oppor-

home for q Morris County Historic
Museum. The rooms are large and
we'll arranged for such q purpose, and
the location is central, thus fulfilling
two essential requirements of such a
museum: There are no doubt, too, a
numberof relics of past times which
would be OF value for public exhibi-
tiOn.

This house was built about 1907 by
a Monsieur Sansay, of whose histoi y
nothing was known, but he was sup

NOT YET A HoRsELEss AGE.

The Live Stock Journal . calls at
tention to the fact that while automo-
bile enthusiasts are still dreaming,
talking and writing of a horseless age
in the United States horses have in
the last ten years increased by 6,0OO,-
600 head. Statistics give the total
number of farm and city horses in the
country as 81, 100000, with valuation
of S3,5O0,000,0O0. Prices rule higher
than ever before, both in Canada and
in the United States, and horse breed
ing, despite legislation that has been
adverse to the race tracks, grows as a
large and profitable industry. The
worlds output Of motor cars for the
present year is estimated at 235,000,
with total valuation OF 1926, ,0O0, 900
In one state alone, Illinois, the two
million horses are valued at twenty
million dollars more than the worlds
output OF motor cars for the present
year. The figures are convincing tina
mechanical traction has helped, no
hurt, the horse. If anything, the de
velopment of mechanical traction ha
opened new and larger fields for hi
auxiliary use. Every freight car add

RACE FOR CONGRESS.
Positive Statement Is Made by Mr.
Fowler.

Positive Statement Is Made by Mr.
Fowler.
Representative Charles N. Fowler
a candidate for Congress in the Fiftl
Congressional district despite the fac
that his petition as candidate fo
United States Senator-was fled will
Secretary of State Dickinson Tuesda,
and his name will appear on the pri
mary ballot along with that of Frank
lin Murphy and former Governo
Stokes for the choice Of the voters.
Mr.. Fowler was asked what he haC
to say regarding the story that many
of his friends, who are making figh'
for his denomination in the Fifth dis
trict, were disappointed because h,
had filed a petition for the United
States Senatorship and that this was
taken as an indication that he would
withdraw from the Congressional fight
| will issue a statement regarding
this question at the proper time, Mr.
Fowler said.
I" But you have not thought Of quit
ting the fight for Congress, have you I
he was asked.
/" No." he replied. " Absolutely no
/ am in this fight for the Congression-
al nomination everyone knows that
When pressed for a further state
ment as to his reasons for being in the
Congressional race and tiling petit
tion for the United States Senator
ship, Mr. Fowler reiterated that he
would make a statement regarding
that at the proper time.
A supporter of Mr.. Fowler and one
of his most active workers in the Con-
gressional campaign, declared that
Mr.. Fowler had no other choice but
to permit his name to go before the
voters at the primaries as a candidate
for the United States Senate because
it was Fowler who, during the admis-
tration of former Governor Murphy,
vigorously advocated the election of
United States Senators by popular
vote. He has been preaching that for
years. his supporter declared, and
when the people put him in the race
by getting the requisite number Of
slgners, to petition he had no choice
but to allow his name to go before the
voters at ehe primaries.
The fact that his name will be on
the primary ballot, for the United
States Senat0rship will not interfere
in the least with his fight for the Con-
gressfonal nomination.

FRANK M. MCDERMIT, the Newark
lawyer, is a chronic joker and no one
seems to take him seriously when he
says he is candidate. for United
States Senator. Most persons imagine
that Frank got in at the, request of
Jim Smith, SO that the Democrats
might not appe.er to be stnltified by
having no candidate for Senator at
the primaries. The truth is that the
Democratic legislators voteG Tor this
bill just to put the Republicans IN a
hole. Now when they are claimins,
that they are going to sweep the state,
it does not look well to ignore the law
the Democrats helped to folst upon
the people.

AS the success and usefulness of the
sewer plant will depend largely upon
the proper management of it when it
is started up, it should be placed in
charge of a thoroughly competent man
as superintendent. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Potts, the sewer engineer,
while not looking for the position, is
willing to take the responsibility OF
running the plant for year at very
low figure. He is a resident of the
town, and could attend to the matter
personally, and no one has more
vital interest in seeing the sewer sys-
tenn a success.

BULLETINS OF
THE LAND OFFICE
INTENDING HOMESTEADERS ARE
RAISING MANY QUESTIONS
WHICH CALL FOR RULINGS.

So many questions are coming IN
to the land Office, involving construc-
ton of the new land laws that it has
been decided 20 adopt the plan of is
suing special bulletins from time to
time, as such questions arise. A
pamphlet is now in the press giving
the land laws, fully annotated, and it
will be valuable reference work.
"The latest proposition passed up
to u.s. said Land Commissioner
Campbell, lis a claim of applicants
that they have first right to lands for
which they apply. For example. If
certain land is opened at the request
of % petitioners, as provided by law,
some think that the 25 petitioners
have first right to the land The fact
is that they have no more rights
than any other citizens, and when
the land is opened, IN response to
their petition, they must take their
chances with all who seek the land. "
