CHARLES N. FOWLER
FOR U. S. SENATOR
Is the Suggestion Made by
William F. Comfy.

NOW tnat the smoke of the battle of
November has cleared away and the
forces of the defeated enemy are scat
tered far and wide, we can rest for a
while on our victorious weapons, re-.
Joicing in the possession of laurels
won, and planning for still more glor-
ious conquests in the days shortly to
come
Much has been done to prove to the
present administration that its knell
has been sounded, and that is des-
tined to perish, buried in the ruins of
the Tree trade stronghold so ruthless
ly and SO arrogantly erected.
Let us rejoice that we have been
able to elect to Congress one worthy
IN every way to bear the Republican
standard in the Fifth Congressional
District. The Honorable John H.
Capstick, orr representative, is a man
imbued with the highest commercial
principles and skilled far beyond the
ordinary in his application of them.
His own success as a business man is
ample proof Of this. He is, moreover.
by natural ability and also by earnest
study well able to grapple with the
tar1n problem. and, with all matters
relating to the manufacturing inter-
ests of the country. With such as he
In control, we may look forward to a
most successful administration. pro-
ductiye of such beneficial results both
private and public as to ensure in
1916 repetition of the success just
achieved.
But while we pride ourselves upon
what we have already accomplished.
let us not forget those whose undying
zeal and unfiagging energy contribut-
ed to our sweeping victory. Let hon.
or and gratitude be the reward of all.
and especially of one whose abnega-
tion of self stands out most conspic.
uously even among the many exam
pies of self-sacrifice which the recent
campaign has furnished. l refer to
the Hon. Charles N. Fowler.
Mr.. Fowler, as everyone knows, Is
man experienced in the government
of his country. As Chairman of the
Banking and Currency Committee in
Congress. where he served with hon.
or for sixteen years, he proved him
self an authority on the Banking and
Currency question. In connection
with this, he may not always have
stood for those measures which his
colleagues could fully endorse, but
what he did stand for has been recog-
nized long since, both by colleagues
and by opponents. as that which alone
was right. -
Mr.. Fowler has always been a loyal
and steadfast adherent of the Republi-
can party. though recognizing and re-
yealing In his actions at times, the be-
lief that every man has the privilege.
TO decide what is the true course to
follow. An Illustration of his inde-.
pendence was seen In his attitude to-.
wards Roosevelt in the Chicago Con-.
vention of 1912. Realizing, however.
that the policies he supported were
not those OF the Republican majority!
Mr.. Fowler sacrificed his own opin-
Ions Tor the good of the party, and
with whole souled loyalty fought with
all his might for the return of the reg
ular nominee, Mr.. Taft. Since then
no more energetic worker, no more
true soldier of the Republic, no more
IaithIui adherent to his party can be
found than Hon. Charles N. Fowler.
Nor has this loyalty, this zeal, this
generosity been revealed only in DO
litical life. In every phase of social
lie, too, in which he could help and
dement, his fellow citizens Mr.. Fowler
mas been most prominent. In educa-
tlonal affairs, in matters relating to
mun1clpal improvement and expan-
sion, in philanthropic and charitable
activities, Mr.. Fowler has always
been leader, and to him, more than
TO anyone else, the town of Elizabeth
owes debt of undying gratitude.
This self-sacrifce will bring as If
has already brought, its own reward.
IL mas brought 1t in the election of
John II. Capstick, whose position was
made secure by the en-
ergy and hard work of Mr. Fowler.
1t will bring 1t, it must bring it, in the
election of Mr. Fowler to that office
for which the electors of Union and
Morris counties have reserved him.
mean the seat in the Senate to
which he is to be elected in 1916.
From what has been said no one
can do anything but acknowledge Mr..
Fowler's deserts. Let us elect him
that he may support this Republican
president which we also intend to
elect, just as we intend Casper Stokes
to be our next Governor. Then.
when the good old party is again in
power, we may hope for renewal of
those days of prosperity which have
for only brief period been interrupts
ed, but which shall never long be
wanting to our beloved country so
long as we have such men as Charles
N. Fowler to guide councils of the ma
tion.
