Scnntop Voro, replying to Sennlor
Penrose's nttnek of yesterday upon the
"fiftyflfty" ticket, asserted this nftcr
noon Hint Penrose was "forced and
helped" In mnklug it by former Judge
James Gay Gordon.
Senator Vnre's statement predicts
triumph for his "combine" cnntlldntes
In spite of tho nppe.-il Issued bv Sena
tor Penrose In his friends to hack the
candidates of honest government.
Senator Penrose himself, according to
Senator Vnrc, considered "nearly nil"
the "combine" candidates the. "men
best fitted for their respective offices"
until last Monday.
Senator Vnro pays his compliments
to Senator Penrose's "binlster In
fluence" by hnrkihg back to the lost
mnyornlty election, nnd charging Hint
it "was stolen bv bnllot box stuffing In
the Kighjfh nnd two other Penrose
wards.
Tho withdrawal of Stale Senntor
Dnlx from tho race for Hie City Trens
urershlp at the Inst moment, .which
Senator Penrose roundly scored yester
day, is justified by Senator Varc on tho
score that Unix in his judgment wns
not "willing to stand up nnd repre
sent n couple of hundred fakers like the
Voters League, which could get Ilia
nothing but overwhelming defeat."
Senator "Kd's" hot reply to Sena
tor Penrose wns dictated in the down
town boss' office In the presence of W.
Krcelund Kentlrlck. enndidnte to suc
ceed himself as Receiver of Taxes. It
is generally recognized 1 tint Senator
Penrose Is hostile lo Kentlrlck mid op
posed to his renominntlon.
Senator Varo's Statement
Sennlor Vnro wns asked wbnt be
thought of the Penrose statement. He
snid :
"If the Pejirose statement had been
issued live or six weeks ago it might
have bcp-i of uniuo value politically,
but since lie vvnitod until Mouda.v
morning of this week, when o-.tudge
Gordon went to hist home on Spruce

can readily understand.

hail suggested that nearly all of those
men were best fitted for tucir re
spec tivo-ofliccs.
"The above ticket meets with popu
lar approval mid is not bach by un.v i
sinister Influeiicp sucli as Hint which

which were Penrose's ill that time.
Penrose .'Men itlidraw
"In leforencc to the withdrawal of
any candidate it must b" plain to the
people tbnt nil those who have with
drawn have been Penrose men and not
friendly with (he regular organization .
ami it easily can be icon that the
withdrawal is squarely up to him.
"Speaking of Senator Unix's with
drawal from tho ticket. I have not seen
tho Senator since the Senate udjuuiued
on thn twenty-eighth of April. Hut.
knowing him as I do, as a senatorial
colleague, my best judgment is that
ho wns not willing to stand up nnd
leprcsont a couple of hundred fnker

net him nothing except overvvlie'iuiiig
defeat.
