faithful presiding officer and an able
parliamentarian.
"Of course, the House usually goes
with the party that is successful. The
next House will be Republican, be-
cause the ticket nominated today will
be elected by a decisive majority. The
most important thing in addition to
the election of a National ticket will
be to obtain a majority in the Senate -

Governor Brumbaugh joined in the
spirit of the delegation.
This is a splendid ticket" said the
Governor, land it ought to commend
itself both to Republicans and Pro-
gressives and ought to mark the end
of the factionalism in the party.
LAS l view it, Roosevelt is bound to
support Justice Hughes as much as

Like the rest of US, he has had his
choice and by his announcement to the
convention and his participation in its
deliberations he is bound by the rule
of the majority to abide by the de-
cision of the majority.
MIR. Hughes, 1 think, will be a very
strong candidate and will grow in
creasingly strong as the people begin
to understand the splendid things
which he has done and for which he
stands. He will have the courage to
defend the dignity of this country and
perty, a matter of great moment in
this crisis.
my Judgment is that Justice
Hughes will be elected by handsome
majority.

interests in the party, and his selec-

election of two Republican United

will be a victory of great importance
to our Congressional legislative pro-
gram"
Senator James P. McNichol, of Phil
adelphia, who voted for Roosevelt in
the early balloting, said:
"I regard the work of the conven-
ton as superb. 1t will insure the ac-
tive support of the ticket by the great
business interests of the country and
in Pennsylvania it Will be an inspira-
ton for party harmony and party ac-
tivity from the very outset of the cam
paign. Philadelphia with such tick

more Of factional differences in our
State and should all work together for
a great Republican victory"
Congressman William S. Ware said:
1.-The nominations should prove ef-
fective in reuniting the Republican
party.
ut is doubtful whether there was
ever a convention held by any party
that was less bossed than this one.
The leaders had their meetings, but
the delegates did their own balloting.
There was no so-called leader who
would promise to deliver the votes of
a single delegation. Justice Hughes
is strong American. His public re-
cord is ample assurance for the fu-
ture. He will have the confidence of
the Republican voters. / feel sure
that Colonel Roosevelt with his 10y

near future. The Republican party
could not have made better selection
