GOVERNOR STANDS
UPON HIS STATEMENT
[Continued I<'rom First Page.]
I tlie State officials he said that it
meant impeachment.
State officials mentioned in the mat
ter to-day declined to talk.
Wants Matter Cleared Cp
These, in brief, are the developments
in the most sensational episode in
Pennsylvania politics since the Hast
ings administration. The whole State
i Is awaiting the next incident and the i
| air is filled with all kinds of rumors,
some of them that other transactions
may come out. Hope of peace in the
Republican party in Pennsylvania has
been abandoned.
Governor Brumbaugh says that his
sole purpose is to have Mlie matter
cleared up. To this end it is under
stood to bo his intention to no to Phila
; delpliia to hunt for the letter which
: David B. Oliver sent in making the
■ contribution. This letter, the Gov
ernor Is. reported to. have said, is in
I his private papers at his home in Ger
i inantown. This letter is regarded as
Ibe crux of the situation and news
papers all over the State are demand
ins its production.
Governor iicavcs City
Governor Brumbaugh left the city
to-day. It was stated this morning
that be bad gone to Philadelphia to
look for the letter, to meet friends and
'to keep an engagement. At noon he
had not left the city, but was expected
to leave this afternoon,
i Friends of the Governor from all
parts of the State have been commend-
I lug his course and urging him to pro
} (luce the Oliver letter. Judging from
| what, has been heard in this city from
j visitors, messages and inquiries, the
I matter has attracted attention beyond
I the bounds of Pennsylvania. New
j York was taking as much itnerest in
the matter as Philadelphia and Pitts
j burgh.
In the midst of it all the Governor
| maintained silence beyond the state
j ment that he stood by his statement.
When the Governor Changed
Details of the recent peace over
tures between the two Republican fac-
I tions are beginning to crop out as the
' war becomes inevitable. There was
reason to believe until yesterday morn-
I ing that Governor Brumbaugh had
I decided to withdraw from the contest
j and in this way bring about party
j harmony. It is intimated that his let
| ter of withdrawal had been prepared
I and It was expected as late as Thurs
day night that he would eliminate \
| himself from the situation with a view i
to a peaceful solution of the party
war. There appears to be no doubt |
that the publication of stories in Pliila- '
I delpliia newspapers to the effect that j
| his withdrawal would be an admission !
j of surrender to Senator Penrose re- !
j suited in a reconsideration of his de- j
I cisioit to drop out of the conflict.
! There is a suspicion among those who j
favor party peace that these stories I
j were put out for the purpose of in
j fluencing the Governor against with-1
I drawal.
Stories are current to-day of still i
further political reprisals covering sen- j
sational charges and the tlieratened
impeachment of the Governor for
violation of the corrupt practices act
. in failure to make return of campaign j
! contributions..
Capitol Looks for l ight
It did not require the Attorney Gen- j
j eral's remark that the statement meant
la tight to tell Capitol Hill what the i
i action of the Governor meant. Before
the statement had been printed active
! preparations were under way to push
I the campaign work for the Governor
and next week conferences will be held
i at which the expectations of the ad
! ministration's leaders will be made
' known.
Tt is probable that heads of depart
' ments will ask the Governor personally
. whether be intends them to take off
i their coats and work and to turn in
their people. Attorney General Brown
lias been acting as the field marshal,
but. some chiefs are said to want to
know from the Governor.
Humors that some officials would
decline to get mixed up in what one of
J the shrewdest political observers in
1 the State to-day termed "a factional
racket' were in circulation, but few
resignations are looked for. The Gov
-1 ernor does not desire to have the State
government turned upside down as
was done years ago, and men who pre
fer to conduct their departments on
I the lines laid down will do so, In the
! opinion of many here to-day.
The rival sla'tes for national dele-
I gates and state committeemen are
! about ready. They will be announced
|in a few days. The Governor's list will
■ include ex-Lleutenant-Govcrnor John
•I M. Reynolds, of Bedford, who came
. here late last night, and told the Gov
. ernor he was with him to a finish.
Mr. Reynolds' petitions are about to
jbe sent out. The petitions for other
| Brumbaugh delegates-at-large are also
ready.
i The Penrose delegate slate is made
I I up except for a few names.
'| In Western Pennsylvania Henry G.
' Wasson, Republican national commit
-1 teeman, who lias been doing his best
i to stir up a fight, said that Governor
i Brumbaugh's statement meant war.
, "War," he added, "is the very thing
the situation has demanded for some
time back." He also said that the new
way of spelling harmony in this state
, would be popular.
The Governor planned to leave the
[ city early to-day, but after a short
motor ride returned and it is said In
tends to keep an engagement to speak
' at Philadelphia to-morrow. He will
' not, make any further statement about
anything.
Mr. Stackpole Declines
to Be Candidate For
Delegate to Chicago
Since the first tentative list of dele
g&tes-at-large to the Republican na
tional convention was announced in
I Philadelphia early in January the
■ name of K. J. Stackpole, of this city,
has been upon the slates of both sides
t to the Impending factional contro
versy. In letters to Governor Brum
baugh and Senator Penrose to-day be
made clear his purpose to have no
part In factional warfare. His com
munication to Governor Brumbaugh,
which is similar to one sent to Senator
Penrose, explains his position as fol
lows:
"Hon. M. G. Brumbaugh,
"Executive Mansion,
"Ilarrisburg, Penna.:
"My Dear Governor: Having done |
my utmost personally and through my .
newspaper, without avail, to restore
party harmony and maintain that |
unity which is essential to Republican j
success, I am not willing that my name :
shall be submitted in the approaching |
primary election as a candidate for
delegate-at-large to the Republican
national convention.
"The first intimation that my name
was tinder consideration in connection
with the Chicago convention came to
me through the newspapers, and l
have not overlooked the fact that my
selection as a delegate was acceptable
to the leaders on both sides. This is a
compliment which 1 have greatly ap- i
predated.
"It would have been a pleasure to
attend the convention under other cir
cumstances, but as party peace seems
more remote than when I wrote you
from Florida. 1 prefer not to become
identified in any manner with the fac- !
tional struggle, believing as l do that
the best interests of the partv and the I
State rest upon Republican solidarity.
"I have also advised Senator Pen
rose of niy decision.
"With personal good wishes and the
earnest hope that this unfortunate po
litical controversy may in nowise affect ,
your administration.
"Sincerely yours,
"E. J. STACKPOLE."
Vare Attacks Oliver in
Statement to Newspapers
Senator E. 11. Vare was the only!
Philadelphia leader to make any
statement and he bitterly assailed Mr.
Oliver.
In an interview last night in Phila- j
delphia he said:
"This is the first time in my politi
cal experience that T have seen such ,
a barefaced attempt to blackmail a j
Governor of Pennsylvania for the pur
pose of serving private political inter
ests.
"The Governor's statement to-day
shows that, he is big enough to pub
licly expose these underground at
tempts on the part of his enemies to
get him to withdraw front a cam
paign which he is successfully waging
for the best interests of the Re
publican party in the State.
I "For some time I have been hear- •
ing insinuations from the Penrose-
Oliver people In regard to this check
which the Governor has himself I
made public. There is nothing un- j
usual in the fact that a multi-million- i
aire like David B. Oliver, a supposed |
friend of the Governor of many years \
standing, to make a contribution to
the Governor's personal expenses. It
' will be remembered that the Gover- i
nor refused to take any salary from |
1 the Philadelphia Board of Education j
for some months during the time of j
his campaign.
"Mr. Oliver knew the Governor's'
I financial condition and in a spirit of
I personal friendship presented him
! with this sunt with the express con
j dition that he use it personally and
, not in connection with his political j
tight. This the Governor did and T
'am confident that the people, know- j
ing the facts, will agree that he did i
right." ! '
David B. Oliver Makes
Comments on Statement '
David B. Oliver, when shown the
statement of Governor Brumbaugh in i
■ Pittsburgh last night said:
"The Governor seems to consider |
'my conrtibution as a personal pres- j
ent. If I had intended to present him j i
j with a token of my esteem it would j
j certainly have taken some other shape '
j than a gift of money.
"I intended my check to be used |
| for the purpose of assisting him in j
I ills campaign and for no other pur-!
, pose whatever.
I "The Governor's quotation from my i
letter is not in accord with the com-'
I munication itself nor with the letter
j he wrote me in acknowledging the re- [
ceipt of my contribution. I would j
suggest that he make public the let
ter in its entirety."
Senator Oliver Makes
Statement as to Check
Last night United States Senator I
George T. Oliver made the following '
statement:
"Some time in December or early in j
January my brother, Mr. David B. OH- j
ver, informed me that the corresond- j
ent of the Philadelphia Ledger had ,
obtained from him a statement con- j
cerning his contribution of SI,OOO to
Governor Brumbaugh's campaign. .
"Later on. I think it was in Feb- |
ruary, he handed me the telegram and '
letter he had received from Dr. Brum- |
baugh in acknowledgment of this con
tribution, with the suggestion that if
any publication was made it perhaps
ought, to be in my own newspaper. He I
also handed me his canceled chock for
Hie contribution Since then the rep
resentative of the Ledger frequently
importuned me for copies of these |
documents, but 1 was reluctant to have
them published, as I wished to spare
the State of Pennsylvania the humilia
tion which such publication would
necessarily involve: but when Gov
ernor Brumbaugh announced his in
tention of becoming a candidate for
President of the United States I sought
an Interview with the Hon. John S.
Rilling, who before that had visited
me is an emissary of Ihe Governor. 1
exhibited the documents to Mr. Rill- !
ing. informing him that it was not my I
intention to give them to the public j
unless the Governor persisted in his i
presidential candidacy, but that if he i
so persisted, 1 would feel constrained
to do so.
"I further stated that the Governor
could do as ho pleased about carrying

on a factional contest, but when it '
came to asking the people to indorse a
man for the presidency who might be
liable to impeachment, I thought it
time to put a stop to it. Upon reading I
the pa pern, Mr. Hilling's first excla- j
mation was that it would subject the
Governor to impeachment, and my im
pression is that he also stated that he
did not see how the Legislature could
refrain from such action if the truth
were known.
"I did nothing further in the matter
until Saturday evening, when, hearing ;
that the Governor was circulating pc- j
titions to have hit; name placed on the
ballot as a candidate for President, I
handed the papers to Mr. Sptirgeon,
managing editor of the Philadelphia.
Ledger. But 011 last Monday evening
I was called to the telephone by Cyrus '
E. Woods, Secretary of the Common
wealth, who urged me to meet htm in :
Philadelphia the following day. I did
so. and at that interview I received
assurance from Mr. Woods that the
Governor had decided to withdraw his
candidacy and to allow the delegates
from Pennsylvania to go uninstructed.
Upon this assurance I sought out Mr.
Spurgeon and urged him to refrain
from making the. matter public.
Throughout this transaction 1 have
acted solely with a view of saving the
good name of the State.
"A glance at the Governor's letter,
will convince any sane man that he
regarded the check as a campaign
contribution, else why does he thank
Mr. Oliver for his 'GENEROUS HELP
IN* THIS FIGHT ?"
Pittsburgh Dispatch Hears
Rumors of More Checks
The Pittsburgh Dispatch contains j
these statements in a local review of i
the matter this morning:
"There were reports yesterday that
the Penrose forces claim to know of |
about thirty checks aggregating $15,-j
000 paid to Dr. Brumbaugh during his
campaign, of which no return was.
made when the Governor-elect tiled.
his statement of campaign receipts!
and expenditures. One such check |
was said to have been contributed by j
former Secretary of the Common-1
wealth Robert McAfee. Brumbaugh j
supporters declared that if the Pen- j
rose people knew about more checks
than the one from D. B. Oliver they
would have used them, with the Oliver ;
check, to force Governor Brumbaugh's j
withdrawal as candidate for President. j
"It was stated here yesteray there j
is no doubt now that the Governor 1
will continue in the fight for delegates j
to the Chicago convention in June j
pledged to him for the Republican \
nomination for President.
"Governor Brumbaugh's statement j
yesterday took most of the Pittsburgh j
politicians by surprise, not by reason
of what it disclosed, but because of j
the Governor's apparent intention to j
stay in the Presidental race and fight ■
to a llnish. Most of the Penrose peo- j
pie had heard of the Oliver check and 1
many of them appear to have known j
about It for months, of late they have
been for some reason very confident
that it. would be effective in producing |
'harmony.' That it has not done so 1
is the tiling about the affair which
to them is surprising."

Mrs. Lutz. when she read a descrip
