ever was. and that the Democratic vic
tory was really a verdict in favor of
popular rule and progressiveness.
There was one mistake at the pri-
maries," said Mr.. Nichols, and that
was that Cumberland county did not,
as it should have DONE, indorse you,
Congressman, for United States Sena-
tor. Ks it was, you received 1900 votes.
but if the organization had Endorsed
you, Stokes would have been defeated
in his home county. and the State and
you would have been our choice
"Quite probable replied Congress
mas Fowler, but it did not happen
that way, and now the Republicans
will have to accept Stokes, just as the
Democrats viii be obliged to accept
MARITIME
VIII Never Support Stokes.
Stokes will never receive my vote,
emphatieaIly declared Senator-elect
Nichols. 81 will vote for MARITIME first,
if my vote in the joint meeting will
elect him.
y did say that Stokes would re-
ceiye my vote if he was the caucus
choice. at the primaries. but since then
I have learned of some of the work
done against me in my county by his
~lieutenants. I would not vote for him
under any consideration.
"Stokes's friends industriously circu-
lated the report that I was backed by
Senator Kean's millions. AS a matter
of fact, the leaders gave up the fight
ten days before election, and ali the
money I had was from the united
means Of myself and personal friends.
Admires Senator Smith.
ut is not because he is my choice
that l say 1 would vote for MARITIME in
Joint meeting, If my vote would elect
him. I would do it simply to hamper
as far as possible the Democratic ma
iority and break their ranks. Person
ally l admire Senator Smith, who
proved a friend Of mine while in Wash
ineton, but he Is too Zig a man for the
Relut leans 10 per4lit to so back there
if we can prevent it.
Congressman Fowler said he expects.
within a few days, perhaps, and at any
rate before Congress reassembles on
December 5 next, to issue a formal
statement containing MS view as to the
result of the recent election and the
future of the Republican party in the
State and nation. The statement will
probably be replcte with statistics cal
culated to show that in every State
where the Progressive Republicans won
at the primaries they Won at the cleo
tons and wherever the Progressives
were turned down or ignored at the
primaries the Republicans were routed
at the polls.
Many Democrats Gather.
The congressman has stated since
election that were it not for the few
concessions made to the Progressiyes
in the State platform, through the in
sistment of Candidate Vivian NJ. Lewis,
the plurality of Woodrow Wilson
might have reached $50, 900.
Among the more prominent Demo-
! Gratis who appeared in the State House
corridors was Brigadier-Genera Daniel
F. Collins, treasurer OF the State Demo-
cratic Committee. General Collins was
accompanied by Assemblyman-elect
Hugh r. Mclaughlin, of Elizabeth, and
several other Union county Democrats.
The primary purpose Of his visit,
/ General Collins said, was to attend a
meeting this afternoon of the State
Military Board. and, like many others,
he expected that Governor-elect Wilson
might visit the capitol. He was dis
| appointed to learn to the contrary.
TO Talk over Governors Meeting.
If the latter had called the purpose
of his visit would have been to talk
over with Governor Fort heir pro-
posed visit to the second annual ses-
sion of the House of Governors, which
opens in Frankfort and Louisville, KY,
next week. Governor and governors
elect from every State in the union are
expected to attend and exchange views
on matters of State government. Gov
ernor Fort will start for Frankfort
next Sunday night, and he may be ac-
companied by Governor-elect Wilson
who is to make the opening address oil
the session.
While nothing definite was heard
from Assemblyman Edward Kenny
who is booked for speaker and who. as
dean OF the House, will issue a call fol
a conference, II is believed the forty
two Democratic assembIymen will hole
