But the die wae cast and there was nothing left for the organisation ineu to do but grin and bear it and make a pretense of putting forth their best efforts towards electing the man whom they knew would turn the state up- side 'down. The New Idea men, however, recognised in Fort a candidate after their own hearts, and they went to work livion. with a might and will that resulted Governor Fort's In his election. When his first message boom has been fairly launched; so waa read the last doubt and hope as successfully, in fact, that those who to his teal attitude vanished. Not long have tho matter in hand boastfully after this tha organisation men began predict that nothing short of a miracle to look to their fences and by gazcan save him from the fate he dreada ing in the future they foresaw that ial the term of Senator John Kean will have expired. Coincident with this awakening on the part of the Governor Fort let it be known that he also had an eye on Senator Kean's seat.

Senator Kean had no idea of relinquishing his seat When it became known that Fort had sen- - i atorlal aspirations tha thoughts of the leaders naturally reverted to the winter of ISOS, when Senator Dryden, president of tha most powerful corporations, operating within the state, sought to succeed himself against the wishes of Senator Colby and hia clan.

To tell how the boom for Fort start ad. It will be necessary to give a brief resume of New Jersey politics for the past year or two.

The smart of that defeat la still fresh In the minds of the leaders and they do not dare to face such another struggle with Colby. Strange to say, the Inspiration .for ridding themselves of the one so at variance with all their plans waa furnished by none other than President Roosevelt himself, although it can truthfully be said that this he did unwittingly, and without any intention of putting bla Anger in New Jersey's politics Governor Fort has very decided ideas as to curbing corporate power in New Jersey, and ha so expressed himself in the course of hts Inaugural address In February President Roosevelt sent a message to Congress, and In that address he liberally quoted extracts from Governor Fort's speech. There was the cue. "My policies!"

Later he attended the Pemberton Acad- tmy, In Burlington county, and from there went to Mount Holly Institute end Pennington Seminary, in turn, from which latter Institution he grad- uated In 18(9. He then went to Phil- adelphla and entered the law offices of Chief Justice Paxton, but be re- turned to Mount Holly and, under Ewan Merritt, completed hia law studies, although in 1872 he was graduated from the Albany (X Y.) Law School, where he obtained his degree. John Franklin Fort pursued the practice of law with varying success, and waa always more or less interested in politics He waa Arab heard as a public speaker in Newark, when he waa a delegate to a convention held in that city, and waa presented to the convention when he arose, to address it aa "a boy triend from South Jersey." He made a tremendous impression, and from then on hia political star waa In the ascendency. The Arst public office he held waa when he was appointed a District Court judge by Governor George B. McClellan, father of the Mayor of Greater New York. He was reappointed by Governor McClellans successor, but a few months later Fort resigned to devote his entire time to hie practice. He waa a delegate to the national convention In 1884, and was a steadfast Blaine man, having supported the man from Maine throughout hia campaign. In 1815 Fort provided over the convention which nominated John W. Griggs for governor, the Arst Republican elected governor of New Jersey in 80 years, and by a strange coincidence John W. Griggs presided aa chairman over the convention last winter that nominated Fort. Judge Fort came before the national convention of 1898, which nominated tha late President McKinley, as chairman of the committee on credentials, and It was he who, In a stirring speech, read J.
