Grundy very definitely with some EVIL

over to campaign managers to spend,
and another thing to spend the funds.
The interjection of Mr.. Grundy into

light. In the first place. they are PLAN

the coming congressional campaign,
Mr.. GrundyS testimony before the Sem
ate lobby investigating committee has
aroused the Republican Senators from
the Western States. His presence in
the Senate. the Democrats believe, will
serve still further to split the G. o. P.
ranks in that body and further will be
a good talking point for the Democratic
Spellblnders when they take the stump
next year.
Mr.. Wares full statement, issued in
Philadelphia, to which he returned YES.
terday afternoon and where he was
greeted like returning hero, by brass
oano and great crowd, follows:
Wares Statement.
The sentiment of the entire country
is with me in this fight, and / am a
candidate to the finish.
Practically every paper in the coun-
Try, and l personally have seen very
many Of those that we're against me In
my previous campaign, Is now with me
IN my defense of the Constitution and
the rights of the States to name their
own Senators.
II was given clean bill of health
by the committee on privileges and
elections. kilograms and other mes
SageS have come to me from every part
OF pennsylvania, many of them from
former opponents, saying l am stronger
now than ever before. One man wired
me that have four friends now where
previously had but one.
L shall fight with all the vigor that
is within me to vindicate the right OF
my state TO select its Senators and to
preserve for all time the integrity OF
the Constitution of my country"

plans to fight on is regarded here as
good politics on his part. Next wear

sylvania law, is not permitted to seek
nomination to succeed himself. This
means that a Republican ticket has
to be framed with regard to the fact
that the western part of the State
already has one Senator, David A,
Reed, and the eastern part of the State
must be cared for. There is likely. too.
to be scramble for the gubernatoriai
nomination, for there are several re-
ceptive candidates. If one of them ties
up to Ware in the primary campaign it
may complicate things considerably for
the others. There is the suggestion,
too. that former Gov. Clifford Pinchot
may enter the primary either in an
effort to win the gubernatorial or the
senatorial election.
Gov. Fisher. unless he should an
point Ware himself, must decide wheth-
er he will send down to Washington as
Senator a man who will be candidate
for the nomination next May or one
just to fill the gap until candidate
strong enough to 60 up against Ware
can be found. If the leaders have de-
termined upon a man who they believe
will be strong enough to carry the
banner and win the nomination next
year. he will doubtless be sent down.
Pennsylvania politics have
been badly messed up in the last two
or three years. While there was a
revulsion of public feeling against Ware
in 1925 after the Senate slush fund in
veStigation and his Democratic oppo-
nent, William B. Wilson, polled a huge
vote, Ware has been able to retain his
grip in Philadelphia. as indicated in
the most recent city elections. He
may be force that still has 70 he
