JOHNSON WELL PLEASED

Philadelphia Republicans who went 10
Chicago were satisfied today with the re-
suit OF the convention, Hughes and Fair
banks are good enough for them. The men
who rode out Of Broad Street Station 10
days ago with plans for starting their
ballots toward the favorite son Brumbaugh,
and shunting them over to Roosevelt later
on, and those who wanted Weeks or Bur-
ton. and those who were for Hughes. re-
turned last night Every one was salts
fed" Congressman Ware went so far as to
hint that he was in on the Hughes land
slide from the start
But harmony at Chicago and harmony
IN Philadelphia were not accomplished as
one impulse. There was no indication that
the Vare-Brumbaugh-B Brown combination
was any closer to the Penrose- Nichol
alliance than II was before the delegations
left here
Senator McNicho said the Hughes senti-
ment was uppernost from the beginning
but the convention had given every candi-
date time TO muster his forces and fight.
Senator Penrose is still in Chicago. The
Wares in their comment on the convention
did not credit Senator Penrose with any
thing like a large role in affairs there. They
did not mention him.
BRUDfBAUGH FOR HUGHES.
Governor Brumbaugh came back wearing
large Hughes badge. So did the other
delegates. All were agreed that the Hughes
ticket would carry the country. The Re-
publicans seemed genuinely pleased with
the result.
There was only a small crowd to greet
the Wares on their arrival They showed
the result of assiduous devotion to their
duties, coupled with the WEAKNESS that is
associated with travelling by rail- Red

should follow Roosevelt. for they sanctioned
his participation in the Republican 'conven>
tion when he sent his message seeking

tions there is no cause for the Progressives
or Roosevelt either to bolt Hughes. Person
ally the nominations are excellent and
should satisfy every American"
STATEMENTS OF THE WARES.
While the Governor addressed himself TO
the convention. Congressman Ware busted
himself fumbling in his pockets He drew
out typewriter paper on which were two
statements. from himself and the other
from his brother. the Senator. Congress-
man Yare's statement follows:
II found on my arrival In Chicago that
number of the same political managers who
had manipulated the 1912 convention
against Colonel Roosevelt were attempting
to bring about coalition for the express
purpose sof depriving Justice Charles II.
Hughes of the nomination, Immediately
upon my arrival 1 conferred with eX-Post-
master General Frank II. Hitchcock and
other friends of Justice Hughes and 1t was
agreed that II there was to be harmony in
the party and the Republicans and Pro-
gressives were to be united 1t was import
ant to have u candidate and n platform
strong on the principles of Americanism
and progress. The efforts were. therefore,
directed toward the elimination of all dark
horse candidates. 1t was agreed that JUS
tice Hughes nomination should be brought
about on the third ballot
''of course | felt my first duty to be TO
Pennsylvania and Governor Brumbaugh.
That first ballot demonstrated that Senator
Penrose did not control majority OF the
delegates from Pennsylvania, only SO voting
for Knox on that ballot. on the second
ballot majority Of the friends of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh supported Colonel Roose- |
Welt, thereby showing their sympathy with
Colonel Roosevelts IDEAS In accordance |
with the understanding with the friends OF
Justice Hughes, their support was thrown
70 his candidacy on the third ballot
II believe the ticket will appeal to not
only all Republicans but to all patriotic
Americans. regardless of party. Justice |
Hughes, of all men, has the confidence OF
the American people"
Senator Ware declared he thought the
Hughes ticket would win over the Demo- |
Gratis. He said Senator Penrose had made |
poor showing and his work had little |
effect on the Pennsylvania delegation. Sena-
tor Ware said:
LOOKS LIKE WINNER,
'It looks like a winning ticket We are |
satisfied with the showing Governor Brum- |
baugh made. He alone of the favorite |
sons withdrew before the tide turned so |
strongly for Hughes that il forced the re- |
lease of their delegates. Senator Penrose |
made miserable showing. He did not |
figure. either as a controlling factor in the |
fennsylVania delegation nor In the dellbera-

him. Senator McNichol said: Sure thing
