SAY HUGHES WILL WIN
All Dedafe Satisfaction With
Republican Convention's Ac
tion Brumbaugh and Others

JOHNSON WELL PLEASED
Philadelphia. Republican! who went fo
Chicago wcro satisfied today with the re
tult of the convention, Hughes nnd Fair
banks are good enough tor them. The men
who rodo out of flroad Slreot Station 10
'days ngd with plana for starting their
ballots toward tho favorlto son Brumbaugh,
And shunting them over In Roosevelt later
en, nnd those who Wanted Weeks or Diir
tOh, and thoso Vho wcro for Hughes, re
turned last night, ttvery ono was "satis-
fled." Congressman Vnro went so far as to
hint that he was Irt on tho Hughes land
slide from tho start.
But harmony at Chicngo nnd harmony
In Philadelphia were not accomplished ns
ono Impulse. There was no Indication that
tho Vftrc-Bmmbaugh-Brown combination
was any closer to tho Penrosc-McNIchol
alliance than It was beforo tho delegations
toft hero.
Senator McNIchpl said tho Hughes senti
ment was uppennost from tho beginning,
but tho convention had given every candi
date tlmo to muster his forces and fight.

pf Varos In their comment on tho convention
am not credit senator Penrose with any
thing Ilk n largo role in affairs there. They
diet not mention him.
BHUMDAUaH FOR HUOHKS.
Governor Brumbaugh camo back wearing
a large Hughes badge. So did the other
delegates. Alt were ngrccd that tho Hughes
ticket would carry tho country. Tho Re
publicans seemed genuinely pleased with
the result.
Thoro was only a small crowd to greet
tho Vores on their arrival. They showed
tho result of assiduous devotion to their
duties, coupled with tho weariness that Is
associated with traveling by rati. Red
badges, with tho name 'Hughes' In big
gold letters, showed tho downtown leaders
had started the campaign already.
"Roosevelt should certainly support tho
ticket," said Governor Brumbaugh. "He
cannot consistently do onythlng else but
awing Into line. All other Progressives
should follow Roosevelt, for they sanctioned
his participation In tho Republican -convention
.when ho sent his message seeking a
compromlso candidate. Under tho condi
tions thoro Is no cause for tho Progressives
or Roosovolt olther to bolt Hughes. Person
ally tho nominations are, excellent and
should satisfy every American."
STATI3MKNTS OF THE VARES.
While the Governor nddressed himself to
tho convention. Congressman Varo busied
himself fumbling In hln pockets. Ho drew
;out a typewritten paper on which were two'
statements, one from himself and the other
from his brothcrj tho Senator. Congress
kman Vare'a statement follows:
"I found on my arrival In Chicago that a
number of the, same political managers who
had manipulated the 1912 convention
against Colonel Roosevelt wera nttemptlng
to bring about a coalition for the express
purpose of depriving Justice Charles E.
Hughes of the nomination. Immediately
upon my arrival I conferred with ex-Postmaster
General Frank H. Hitchcock and
other friends of Justice Hughes, nnd It was
agreed that If there was to be harmony in
tho party and the Republicans nnd Pro
gressives were to bo united, It was import
ant to have a candidate and a platform
strong on tho principles of Americanism
and progress'. The efforts were, therefore,
directed toward the- elimination of nil dark
horsa candidates. It was agreed that Jus
tice, Hughes' nomination should bo brought
about on tho third ballot.
"Of courso I felt my first duty to bo to
Pennsylvania and Governor Brumbaugh.
That first ballot demonstrated that Senator
Penrose did not control' a majority of the
delegates from Pennsylvania, only 30 voting
for Knox on that ballot. On the second
ballot n majority of the friends of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh supported Colonel Roose
velt, thereby showing their sympathy with
Colonel Roosevelt's Idcns. In accordance
with the understanding with the friends of
Justice Hughes, their support wnB thrown
to his candidacy on the third ballot.
"I believe tho ticket will appeal to not
only all Republicans, but to nil patriotic
Americans, regardless of party. Justice
Hughes, of all men, has tho confidence of
the American people."
Senator Vare declared he thought the
Hughes ticket would win over the Demo
crats. Ho said Senator Penrose hnd made
a poor showing and his work had little
effect on the Pennsylvania delegation. Sena
tor Vare said:
LOOKS LIKE WINNER.
"It looks like a winning tlckot. We are
satisfied with the showing Governor Brum
baugh made. He alone of the favorite
mnna mllh.l.Atir XaFmti V.n .Irln - .1
gjTfi pw.. .-.h..-..u. uctuto ilia nug fcuiucu BU
nr- strongly for Hughes that It forced tho re.
lease of their delegaets. Senator Penrose
made a miserable showing. He did not
figure, cither as a controlling factor In tho
Pennsylvania delegation nor In the delibera
tions of tho leaders of tho convention."
Accompanying the partyalso wero Coro
ner William R Knight. John J, McKlnley,
Jr., Harry D, Beaston. Frank J. Ryan. City
Treasurer McCoach, Max Apt, head of the
alternates: William Abrahams and others.
Attorney General Brown said the ticket
ivas satisfactory, and the people should sup
port Hughes.
Accompanying Senator McNIchol was
Mercantile Appraiser James A. Carey, ex-
Magistrate, William E. Campbell. Judge
Charles 1m Brown and others of the fac
tional delegates.
Tho Senator looked a bit travel-worn.
but his step was light and his joy great
as ho greeted his two youngest sons. When
ho was asked If the nomination satisfied
him. Senator JtcNIchol said: "Sure thing,
AVe nominated tho next President of the
United States. Colonel Roosevelt will be
nut In a statement supporting Hughes
Within a week, and will take the stump and
advocate his support."
"Governor Brumbaugh says that Roose
velt should do this, aa ho participated In
the convention," the Senator was advised.
"He'll do that because he Is an Amer.
lean," j-eplied tho Senator, "and that Is
why he wJU support Hughes to the limit.
Ills followers will Join him, and there will
be nothing to the election."
"How about Hushes ; was the nomination
a surprise?" he was asked,
"?fo, Hughes could have been nominated
the first night on the third ballot But
there was nq need to hurry matters. We
wanted to do the right thing by Roosevelt
and tQ put everything to him, fair and
square. We wanted him to feel he was
going- to get everything he asked within
reason. Tnat wae wi)y the ballot was de
layed! but there never wa any question
M to (he nominee. Roosevelt suggested
Lodge, but that was Impossible, and all
through the conferences he had no avail
able second choicer that Is why Hughes'
nomination was, certain from the start."
"Whq will run Hughes' campaign 7" he
teas asked.

"1 nm delighted nnd enthusiastic," Mr.
Johnson said. "I believe that wo shall have
n thoroughly United party and that It wilt
be victorious noxt .November. To my mind,
ono of the most conspicuous things about
tho convention was tho forbearance and
liberality shown to nil participants. Thcro
n'tts a notable absence of anything re
sembltng steam-roller methods, nnd cery
member of the Pennsylvania delegation
used Unrestricted discretion throughout,
"Tho trend of sentiment toward Justice
Hughes," he continued, "was one of the
most rcmnrkablo psychological phenomena
that I have ever known. Tho trend of all
minds In the convention nfter the second
ballot was unanimous nnd tho convention
expressed Its conviction that Mr, llughcs
was thd right man with virtually a unani
mous voice.
Republicans continued today to express
unanimously their gratification at the nom
ination of Hughes.
Somo of the vlows follow;
Judge Xorrla H. llnrrntt Everybody with
whom I have tnlkcd loins with mo In
believing that Justice Hughes' nomination
Is most excellent, both for the country
nnd the Republican pnrty. Now that
Roosevelt's withdrawal virtually Is n cer
tainty, It Is fair to nssumo that Justice
Hughes will be the noxt President of tho
United States, nnd nn able, slnccro nnd
patriotic one.
JiiiIrp U'llllnm (, lVrgiiunn In common
with tho majority of our country
men, I nm exceptionally pleased with Jus
tice Hughes' nomination. It Is nn excellent
ono In every respect, and It Is the duty
of nil patriotic citizens, no matter of
what pnrty, to unite nnd elect Justice
Hughes. His election Is a national necessity.
Wllllnm I'oflrr, former Minister to Italy
I seconded Roosevelt's nomination nnd
am very sorry he was not nominated. I
Blncercly hope nnd believe, he will sup
port Hughes, especially after the Justice's
ringing statement. I feel sorry, but I
am In llne for tho tlckot. I bellcvo It
will bo elected with Roosevelt's support.
CongrrKHninn Peter V.. t'oitellii I was a
Hughes man from tho stnrt: I think we
ho,ve named the strongest ticket that wo
have known for a long time ; ono that de
mands and should rocelvo the support of
every American. The Justice Is a
thorough American, nnd Is n mnn who
will bring back to the party those who
deserted it In 11)12. I except to find
Roosevelt In lino supporting Hughes, nnd
possibly working ns luird for him ns he
would for himself.
Colonel John Orllihel, president of tho Union
League Tho nomination of Hughes was
the logical thing for tho national con
vention. He was summoned for service
by n call from the entire mass nf tho
voters; his candidacy will meet a spon
taneity of wclcomo that will leave no
doubt that this call Is urgent and sin
cere. He will have all tho Republicans
behind him, while most of tho Progiess
Ives will full In line. Conservative, think
ing citizens Throughout tho country will
feel that the nomination is ideal, nnd
that tho former Justlco Is In essonce n
people's candidate, ono who transcends
any mere party lines.
Tlinmus Nrwbolcl, bunker I have always
been a Hughes man until n short
umo ngo, wncti I mado up my mind that
Roosevelt was tho man for this particu
lar occasion. I am going to voto for
Hughes, howover. I don't see, either,
how tho Progressives could have figured
that there would bo n third party In thlo
campaign. I understood that six months
ngo Roosovclt felt that Hughes would bo
a worthy nominee, nnd It does not seem
reasonable to mo to bellcvo that tho Pro
gressives did not havo a similar knowl
edge ' Roosevelt, too, was placed In a
despernto position tho most desperate of
any man In tho country. If he counte
nanced n third-party movement ho would
bo excoriated for helping in tho re-election
of President Wilson. Evidently tho
Progressives aro piqued at his refusal to
accept tho nomination without reservation.
President of tho t'nlteil States should not
ho Charles H. Hughes,
I, . llonbrlglil, lumber Hughes' nomina
tion plonses me right down to tho
ground, I hopo now that Roosovclt will
turn In and glvo his support to Htfghcs;
this Is not only my earnest wish, but la
my earnest hope. Tho ox-Justlco Is a
big- cnndklato In all that thr word Implies.

No Reason for Hyphenate Elation Over
Hughes Choice, lie Says
NEW YORK, Juno 12. George W. Wlck
orshnm, with whom ox-Justlco Hughes Is
expected to confer In New York today, said
last night that the action nf Colonel Roose
velt In refusing the Progiesslve nomination,
If It was a permanent action, meant the
lostorntlon of unity of the Republican
party.
"Colonel Roosevelt Is to bo commended
upon his attitude," said Mr. Wlckereham.
"Of course, I cannot tell what lie will do.
but I have sincere hopes thnt tho Colonel
will lend his influcnco to the election of
Justice Hughes. And I think he will do so,
bccauBO tho Colonel cannot mean thnt ho Is
out of politics; tile Colonel will never ho

Mr. Wlchcrshnm, who probably will be
ono of Justice Hughes' campaign ndvlBeis,
was asked If he had any comment to make
on the elation of Gcrman-Amci leans.
"If there Is any such elation," ho re
plied, "t can see only that It Is bnsed on
hope rather than any assurance. I could
read nothing In Justlco Hughes' message
of acceptance that would give German
Americans any special elation "
l- x-Oovcrmir Ilenjumln U. Odell, who be

XKIV YORK. Juno 12 I'rnnk A. Mini

Hughes at tho Hotel Astor. The New

chueil for Hughes and said:
"When ItooFOvelt sent his message to

Muney declined to bo Interviewed, but
nutho-ized tho following statement:
"Tho public Is ns.surcd that tho editorials
In tho New York Press today represent his

Mr. Munsey sold thnt ho personally and,
with his newspapers, would throw nil his

paign. With icgard tn Perkins, the Press r.iid:
"Second only to Colonel Itoosevelt him
self, the ciedlt for bringing about political
harmony in Chicago belongs, and lightly
belongs, to George W. Perkins."
A tremendous ovation today wns given
Charles Kvnns Hughes, Republican presi
dential nominee, nt a meeting of the Baptist
Ministers' Association. In tho First Unpllst
Church, 17th and Sansom streets, when the
Rev. II. U Nowklrk, pastor of tho Wayne
Avenue Baptist Church, shouted: 'Thank
God our next President will bo from the
Uaptlst Church,
The storm of nnnlauso which swept tho
church seemed llko nn echo of strenuous'
convent6n days In Chicago, Many of the
ministers rose from their sents 'and clapped
their hahils and everybody beamed with
enthusiasm. The ovation lasted two nr
three minutes nhd the chairman mado nt
attempt to rap for order. It Is not expected
that tho meeting will formally Indorse tho
candidacy of Mr, Hughes, but a congrat
ulatory message may bo sent to tho
nominee.
All of the Bnptlst ministers nsiemblcil
expressed their enthusiastic approval nf
the notion of tho convention. They In
sisted, however, that they wero not for
Hughes Just because ho was a Uaptlst, but
because ho was a big man.
Tho Itev. AY. H. Main, pastor of Mo-
morlnl Baptist Church, said:
"I am In favor of llughcs because ho Is
u line strong mnn. I went to Colgate, tho
same university that he nttcndeil, It Is
probable thnt we will send him a message of
(ongrululntlon today."
The Itev. Orlando T Steward, executive
wctetury of the Uaptlst fnlon of Philadel

"1 have been for. Hughes for eight yenis;
not because lie la n Uaptlst, but becauso of
his spleuilld iccord an Governor of tho State

er was a Uaptlst minister goes to show thnt
Uaptlst ministers' sons don't go to the bad."

HUMES' CAiNMIttCY MEETS
FAVOR WITH LONDON I'RESS
LONDON, Juno 12. Comment of Kngllsh
papers on tho nomination of Justice Hughes
by tho Republican paity Is generally In
favor of tho Justice.
Tho Mull states that tho nomination of
Hughes has at least divided the Progressive
party, and adds: "Tho Republican party
has put forth Its strongest candidate."
The Times Fees In llughcs a candidate
who will receive both the nprobatlon of the
Old Gunid and tho offshootlng Progressives
of the G. O. P. It characterizes Hughes as
"an uncompromising American, first, last
and all tho time."
Tho Hveniug News finds that tho war
comments of Hughes have been vigorous,
but complains becauso of their vagueness.
"Ills statements nre not surprising, end
flrnlsh good giotmd for Roosavelt's dictum
that Hughes Is llko Wilson", except for his
whiskers," said the ,News; "but if tho party
unites, Wilson will find Hughes a formid
able opponent."
Chnlrman Lano's greatest regret In con'
nectlpn with tho Chicago convention Is what
ho terms the unimportant part Senator Pen.
