Itow ever surpessed the party given by
Congressman Vnre In a downtown hotel
Inst night in honor of Senater Pepper,
Yet the gucstn witnessed a trugedy
. marked behind smiles. Fer It brought
, a reneunrement of cherished ambitions
-nn acknowledgment of the Impossibil
ity of their fulfillment.
Pink carnations littered the table,
threw u into disarray by twoscere ,
guests Plnk-shmled lamps east n soft '
glow ever beamed ceilings and dark dark
puneled walls. Chairs were moved back
and cigars were going strong.
."II0.1!.11" nlniespherc State Scna-

boss of what wus recently called the
most cohesive force in Pennsylvania
politics, pronounced the requiem of
urethcr IJIJI's" senaterial hopes nnd
virtually pledged the support of both
brothers te Senntir Pepper for election
te succeed the late Senater Penrose.
He Fellows Orders
"Brether IM" passed up the Bnh Bnh
ceck dinner in Pittsburgh last night
te come down ns bis brother's guest.
...I'.f 'm nn 'er,er mun'' " ,u' explained.
When I get orders, I fellow them."
And se he came and sat opposite the
new junior Senater nt the long, bounti
ful table, artistically laid and elabo
rately served, while "Brether Bill"
played host.
Senater Vine spoke toward the cles
of the evening. There bad been feed
and oratory in abundance, until the
guests were sntlnted. a Most of thp
speeches were innocuous nfter-dlnnfr
pleasantries. There had been little
"kick" te thcnl. Finally "Brether
Bill" called "Brether Fd."
"mother Ld arose. His massive
i round bend and thick shoulders were
