Sldle pOllllcS aQQeQ TO IenSeIleSS OF
the situation last night when he de-
clared that cit is too early for a de-
| cision" and that there is nothing in
any yarn that there is split with
Governor Brumbaugh." This he fol-
lowed up with blast at the So
called Pittsburgh ticket as ridicu-
lous.
About the same time Governor
Brumbaugh said that he was con-
f1dently preparing to get into the
campaign to name his successor,
that he was not bothering about
what the Wares had to say as at the
proper time they would speak for
themselves and that he would have
something to say later on.
Senator Penrose did not add to
his remarks upon the Governor and
his administration over the week
end, but Highway Commissioner ].
Denny O'Neil told friends at Pitts
burg that he was going to buck any
Penrose slate. Pittsburgh dispatches
say that Mr.. O'Neil will announce
MS candidacy the middle of the week
which squares with what he told
friends here before leaving last week
to meet with Western Pennsylvania
friends, but took sick instead.
The Ware remarks. which Gre
ated sort of sensation when they
reached here, were as follows: "l
nave not indicated my position on
the GoVernorship, nor has it ever
peen talked over by me. 1t is too
early for any decision and 1 don't
expect to make one for some time
TO come. There is nothing in any
yarn that there is split with Gov
ernor Brumbaugh. Any story to
mat eHect is without foundation and
absolutely untrue. Now you can also
quote me that the ticket sent out
from Pittsburgh. the so-called 'har-
mony slate, is ridiculous"
ii is interesting, however, to
note that prominent Ware men in
Fhlladelphia are all very friendly
10 senator Sproul and that the Bull
M oose leaders, with whom the state
has been flirting,
nave been on cordial relations with
G me DelaWare Senator. Neither has
SeoIlsressfnan Scott assailed Senator
oproui as ne has done almost every-
one else.
-Anent the O'Neil boom it may
De said that he is going to run and
that his headquarters will be omen
ca mere in n few days. Mr.. O'Neil
Is expected to have the active sun
nort OF the Governor, but the fact
',,iaL uuas me wares do not regard him
WIN enthusiasm is well known. Ex-
~ ayor William A. Magee's visit 10
the invitation of the Governor Mr.
M,agee is opposed to Mr.. O'Neil ON
the ground that the Highway Com
missioner did not support him for
mayor as vigorously as he desired
is SAID that Mr.. Magee has been
toio he may be public service com
missioner again if he desires.
1t is said by some newspapers
ina, Shat there Is possibility of Senator
SSprouI Withdrawing. Friends of the
senator say it is absurd. They de-
clare that it is in line with the pro
Paganda, industriously circulated
here, that the Wares will fipht
Sproul. 1t is also said by the specta-
tors that in the event of Mr.. Sproul
getting out that Senator w. e. Crow
or AdJutant General Charles A. Sny-
DER would run, as both would relish
hght with O'Neil. Senator Grow
says he is for Sproul and so is the
Auditor General, to the limit.
The Philadelphia Inquirer
Whlch IS close to Senator Sproul,
says: Senator William c. SprouI
OF Delaware county, has been the !
recipient of many kilograms of con-
graduation and support since be
announced himself a candidate for
tne Republican nomination for gov
ernor. 1t is understood that he
does not contemplate issuing a for
NAL statement as to his views on
the issues of the canvass until prob
ably the first of February. He will
then make the platform upon which
be Will go before the voters of the
state and outline the policies he will
advocate as governor of the Com
monwealth. He has received a num-
fer OF requests to address gather
lngs OF various kinds lin differentl
parts OF the state, but has not for
mally accepted any invitations orI
that character up to date"
The Pittsburgh Gazette Times
says 'it is generally conceded that
Senator Sproul will receive the sup
port of the Republican state organ
lzation for governor. A formal
statement concerning his candidacv
and policies will be Forthcoming
soon. A strong sentiment developed
at the conference for George e. Al
ter for lieutenant governor. He has
not indicated whether he looks with
favor on the proposition. Nothing
definite has developed concerning
the candidates for congressme -at.
large and secretary of internal af
fairs. Senator w. e. Crow did not
have any conference with Senator
Penrose. 1t is understood that the
candidacy of Senator Sproul is en-

In one of its usual breezy let
ters from Chester county the Phiia-
delphia Inquirer says: "The SprouI
boom goes merrily on, buttons and
boosters much in evidence. First
open sian at the Brum baugh- -O'Neil
organization was made recently at a.
meeting of the West Grove FARM
ers' Club in New Garden township.
Taking occasion to resent the dis
missal of County Superintendent of
Highways, Rev. Thomas r.. Mcdowell.
and who is an active member, the
farmers in session passed a tart res
olution in which the Governor and
his advisers were soundly berated
for putting the skids under a valu-
able Official"
An editorial appeal by the
Philadelphia Public Ledger for cleo
ton of n governor of Pennsylvania
who will not take part in factional
politics has attracted much atten-
ton as it says that what is needed
is candidate or candidates who
are acceptable. not to the Wares or
to Penrose, but to the citizenship OF
the state.'
