Senator and Congressman mt the sam"

flashed BY one Of the best Informed

tained, nm assured, by several well
informed politicians. although 1t has
not been discussed publicly.
Il has been talked about in South
Philadelphia freely.
Senator vare was the active head and
forefront Of the Ware contracting firm
until bis death.
He frequently maintained. possibly
for political reasons. that his municipal

only his eldest son or his brother, Con-
gresham vare.
Edwin II. Ware, Jr.. was graduated
last year from the University Of Penn.
Gylvanin. He made record not only
AZ 4 student, but as II young man who
stood high in the affections Of the stu .
dent body.
He has. however, yet to undergo j
training to fit him for the responsible
duty as head of the firm.
Guards Firms Interests
Congressman Ware, therefore, accord
ing to this information, is desirous OF
going to Harrisburg to look after the
political interests that are, as Is gen
eaIly known, involved with his firm.
business affairs.
Hence his wish to succeed his brothc,
10 the Senate.
While he can remain member of tn,
senate for only limited time, il h,
wishes to continue at WashinytOn-h,
can, nevertheless. lay plans for the fu
lure, both business and political.
One OF these plans. according TO th,
story, Is that Edwin ii. ware, Jr.. shal
Ultimately succeed to the State, scna
