BARROW MAY BE OPPOSED.
Ware leaders, In fact, declare that all
OF the present Philadelphia congressman.
Ware, Graham, Moore, Edmonds, Costello
ana Darrow. should be supported har.
moniously for reelection. II is possible
however that Congressman Darrow, a
friend of the Wares, will face opposition
in his district the 9Th. comprising wea
Philadelphia and Germantown. Ware men
said any such opposition would amount to
virtually nothing in votes.
Ex-senator John j. CoyIe is an active
candidate for the succession to Cong ,ss.

candidates will spring up. The 9th Dis.

heNed that the Penrose leaders favor the

RoNEY TO RUN AGAIN.
Another development in the Ware camp
yesterday was the announcement that
State Representative Charles j. Roney
would be a candidate for reelection from
the Sd Legislative District, despite the
refusal of Select Councilman Henry j.
Trainer. who no longer is Ware leader
to indorse him. Trainer intends to sup
port someone else, no matter what the
Wares wants Therefore, 1t is likely that
the Wares will try to wrest the ward lead
ership from Trainer, and. of course, a
lively battle will be thus precipitated.
State Representative e. r. Cox who Of
fered the Brumbaugh child labor bill in
the last Legislature, will be supported by
the Wares for reelection from the 9Th Dis.
trict. Edward w. Wells will be the Ware
candidate from this district to succeed

lie Safety. c. c. A. Baldi, Jr., will be
backed by the Wares for State Repre-
from the Cd District. State
