NO FORLORN HOPE
FOR ROOSEVELT
Wisdom of Hughes' Nomina
tion Impresses All; Only
Ultra-Radicals Displeased
(Special Editorial Correspondence)
Chicago, June 12.—With the clear-
Ins of the political skies and a closer
analysis of the situation there is a
hitter understanding of the results of
the great Republican round-up of the
last, ten days. The prompt and un
mistakable challenge of Justice
Hughes to the Wilson administration
camo as a clarion call after the
strenuous efforts of the stalwarts_ and
Progressives to get together and the
response has been Immediate.
Since the events of Saturday there
has been opportunity for an appraisal
of the various factors now entering
Into the preparation for the com
palgn and the consensus of opinion is
favorable to the proposition that
whatever the personal disappoint
ments the outcome is satisfactory to
the large majority of 'Republicans
without regard to their recent fac
tional activities. Colonel Roosevelt's
supporters would of course, have pre
ferred his nomination, but scores have
declared to-day after a night of rest
and reflection that the statement of
Justice Hughes removes any lingering
doubt of the wisdom of the party's
choice.
Radicals For T. K.
As indicated in previous dispatches
the radical section of the Progressive
party came to Chicago determined to
accept nobody but Roosevelt and this
rlenient gave such men as Perkins and
Flinn and Gartield no end of trouble
through their insistence upon imme
diate action upon the candidate and
the platform. This involved tremend
ous. difficulties, particularly in view
of the attitude of Colonel Roosevelt,
who favors a reunion upon a basis of
Acricanism first, and personalities as
a secondard consideration.
It must not be forgotten many
of the Progressives were formerly
Democrats, representing Southern
States and these would never consent
to affiliation with the Republican
party. Thus it was that a considerable
group steadfastly opposed any alliance
with another party. They wanted to
preserve their own organization for
the present and the future and all
appeals for harmony fell upon deaf
ears. So the nomination of Roosevelt
was inevitable.
Roosevelt For Hughes
It is not believed in any well-ln
fcimed quarter, however, that the
Colonel will consent to lead a forlorn
hope; nor is there any thought among
the se who are in close political re
lationship to him that he will aid in
the re-election of Willson by a divi
sion of the anti-Wilson vote.
P.efore the first of July the align
mi nt of these who have determined
tl.at th<* present administration at
Washington must g'. .-e place to a
vigorous pro-American organization
in every department of the govern
ment will be complete. This align
ment will not be confined to Republi
cans only, but will include also thou
sands of Progressives and Democrats.
There Is some resentment among his
radical followers as a result of Roose
velt's qualified declination of the Pro
gressive nomination, but men in posi
tion to discuss with more or less
authority third-party affairs, speak
ing privately do not hesitate to say
that the grave national problems now
v aiting solution will cement the anti-
Dcmocratlc groups into a compact and
tggresslve force that will move for
ward to an overwhelming victory.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
LEADERS BOOST
THE BIG TICKET
Ex-President Taft, Penrose,
Brumbaugh and Others
Praise the Nominees
Nominations of Hughes and Fair
banks have baen given enthusiastic
approval by the leaders of the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania to an extent
that has attracted attention of men
who ordinarily do not follow politics.
Even men inclined to be independent
have been struck by the manner in
which leaders have praised the work
of the convention.
Ex-President William H. Taft. who
was in Philadelphia on Saturday, gave
the ticket unstinted praise and pre
dicted that It would win. Dr. Taft was
immensely Interested In the news of
the balloting and when the news came
that Hughes had won he gathered
newspapermen about him and said:
"Justice Hughes is the highest type
of man for the office. He is essential
ly an American. He is a statesman
and a scholar. He bridges the unfor
tunate breach of 1912 in that he was
on the bench at that time and played
no part in the happenings.
"He is one of the best campaigners
—a man who always get votes by his
case and facility of expression. He is
a man who makes votes.
"There is no reason why the people
cannot support Hughes, for having
been nominated on the platform that
he has been and accepting the nomi
nation. he becomes the embodiment
of the causes of the people. There is
no question of his ability. He has
been Governor of a great State and
has been « powerful influence on the
bench."
"His great strength as a candidate is
in pleading the cause of his party. In
1909 he made a speech which, in my
opinion, was the greatest in the his
tory of American politics. He showed
Mr. Bryan's weakness as a candidate.
He dealt vigorously yet gently with
Bryan. And I heard then that Bryan
regarded that speech as the greatest
obstacle he had to meet.
"I am hopeful that the Progressives
will see the light and accept Hughes
as the exponent of a united Republi
canism in favor of real and construc
tive preparedness in contrast to a
measure, which is regarded as a party
issue and passed without the means
provided to carry out the provisions.
"I am much rejoiced at the pros
pects of Republican victory under
such a standard bearer.
"As a man Fairbanks is experienced
In practical government. For many
years he was on the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate and he was
one of president McKinley's supporters
and advisers. Besides that, he was
for four years the Vice-President. He
is an admirable speaker and a cam
paigner of the widest experience and
effectiveness."
Mr. Wanaroaker's Talk
In commenting upon the action of
|the convention Mr. U'anamaker said:
"We came out of the Red Sea in
! confusion upon a straight road. We
came into the sunlight when, with
great unanimity, the convention set
tled on Charles E. Hughes, as was ex
pected, after the expression of the con
vention in its first two ballots.
"Before the third ballot was half
over it was evident that the tide had
] set in one direction.
"The reading of the report of the
Conference Committee giving in ex
| tenso the facts of the conference, in
which every possible effort had evi-
I dently been made, resulting in the
! Progressive Party laying on the table
the whole subject, cleared the skies.
| And the Republican convention went
straight forward, recording its vote for
Charles E. Hughes, the man of silence,
who, like another man of silence. Gen
eral Ulysses S. Grant, is a victory by
his deeds rather than by his words.
"Pennsylvania united in the request
that I should present the name of
Charles Warren Fairbanks, as Vice
President. It was an agreeable privi
lege to do so. He had already been
nominated for the Presidency by sev
eral States and he is certainly big
enough to be Vice-President.
"His long experience' in public life
and his well-known integrity and bus
iness qualifications, justified from per
sonal acquaintance with him, my be
lief tnat his name added to the ticket
would command not only the respect
of the business community throughout
the United States, but Inside and out
side the Republican Party would win
the most widespread recognition for
the high qualities ol the candidate."
Penrose's Views
Senator Penrose will remain for a
couple of days to attend the meetings
of the Republican National Com
mittee. He made this formal state
ment:
"The ticket nominated today will be
elected by a decisive vote and it will
carry Pennsylvania by an old-fashion
ed Republican majority. The Nation
al Convention was remarkable in
many respects. Perhaps the dominat
ing feature of it was the unpledged
character of the delegates. They
came to Chicago in most cases with
out instructions and with a single pur
pose of doing what would be best for
the Republican Party and the country.
"I have seldom, lr ever, witnessed a
political gathering where so much
good feeling prevailed during the dis
cussion and controversy regarding
candidates. In fact, there was an en
tire absence of ill-feeling or of disap
pointment on the part of those who
were interested in some particular
candidacy.
"All of the candidates expressed
their willingness to join in simplify
ing the situation and at no time did
difficulties present themselves in bring
ing about an early adjustment.
"The convention was composed of a
very high order of men and the out
come of our deliberations is very grati
fying. Under the peculiar circum
stances surrounding the party
brought about by the unfortunate divi
sion of 1912, the nomination of Jus
tice Hughes-was pre-eminently a logi
cal outcome. Everybody wants har
mony and a healing of dissentions of
the past.
"The nomination has come to Jus
tice Hughes unsolicited and perhaps
undesired. It is pre-eminently a call
to which he has deemed it expedient
to respond. As part of the political
situation, it frequently has been de
clared that in this instance the office
should seek the man and that is what
has happened. It cannot be said the
nomination is in any sense the result
of combination of political manipula
tion. It is an expression of the su
preme will of the people expressed by
their representative delegates.
"The nomination of Charles W
Fairbanks will add strength to the
ticket, particularly in Indiana where
o United States Senators will be
elected. It is. of course, of the high
est importance that the Republicans
should have a majority in the Senate.
In addition to the political aspect of
Mr. Fairbanks' nomination, it is com
ing to be realized that the office of
Vice-President is of great importance,
and the Vice-President may be called
upon to vote in case of a tie more
often perhaps than during any pre
vious periods in the country's history.
! in this respect his unquestioned Re
publicanism and patriotism will in-
I spire confidence. He has shown
[through his previous incumbency of
• the office that tie is aa industrious and

"Of course, the House usually goes

jbe elected by a decisive majority. The
most important thing in addition to
I the election of a National ticket will
| be to obtain a majority in the Senate."
The Governor
■ Governor Brumbaugh joined In the
'spirit of the delegation.
"This is a splendid ticket," said the
Governor, "and it ought to commend
1 itself both to Republicans and Pro
i gressives and ought to mark the end
I of the factionalism in the party.
"As I view It, Roosevelt is bound to
support Justice Hughes as much as
1 are the rest of us." *
"Like the rest of us, he has had his
1 choice and by his announcement to the
| convention and his participation in its
: deliberations he is bound by the rule
! of the majority to abide by the de-
I cision of the majority.
"Mr. Hughes, I think, will be a very
strong candidate and will grow in
creasingly strong as the people begin
to understand the splendid things
which he has done and for which he
stands. He will have the courage to
defend the dignity of this country and
the lives of its citizens and their pro
perty, a matter of great moment in
this crisis.
"My Judgment is that Justice
Hughes will be elected by a handsome
majority.
"Mr. Fairbanks has been Vice-Presi
dent before and has demonstrated his
ability and capacity.
"The party makes no experiment in
him. He is absolutely a safe and cap
able man and acceptable to all the
Interests In the party, and his selec
tion will probably carry with it the
election of two Republican United
States Senators from Indiana, which
will be a victory of great importance
to our Congressional legislative pro
gram."
Senator James P. McNichol, of Phil
adelphia, who voted for Roosevelt In
the early balloting, said:
"I regard the work of the conven
tion as superb. It will insure the ac
tive support of the ticket by the great
business interests of the country and
in Pennsylvania it will be an inspira
tion for party harmony and party ac
tivity from the very outset of the cam
paign. Philadelphia with such a tick
; et should give a record-breaking ma
jority next Fall. We should hear no
I more of factional differences in our
| State and should all work together for
j a great Republican victory."
j Congressman William S. Vare said:
"The nominations snould prove ef
j fectlve in reuniting the Republican
' party.
"It Is doubtful whether there was
ever a convention held by any party
[that was less bossed than this one.
The leaders had their meetings, but
the delegates did their own balloting.
There was no so-called leader who
would promise to deliver the votes of
,a single delegation. Justice Hughes
is a strong American. His public re
cord is ample assurance for the fu
ture. He will have the confidence of
the Republican voters. I feel sure
that Colonel Roosevelt, with his loy
alty to Americanism, and his char
acteristic singleness of purpose, will
I be the ablest supporter that Hughes
land Fairbanks will have.'
"It is a ticket that will inspire con
fidence in the business and financial
world and in the ranks of the great
body of the people." said Alba B.
| Johnson, president of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, of Philadelphia,
land one of the delegates-at-large.
"Industrial preparedness,' he added,
"will certainly be the issue of the
; near future. The Republican party
I could not have made a better selection
than Justice Hughes."
One of the first delegates of the
Pennsylvania delegation to turn in for
Justice Hughes was former Lieutenant
Governor Louis A. Watres, of
iScranton.
"Justice Hughes has many ties with
Pennsylvania." said Colonel Watres.
"His father was pastor of the Jack

, son Street Baptist Church in Scran
| ton, Pa., and the Justice has many
friends and some relatives i n the
Lackawanna Valley. The action of
! the convention in selecting him after
'the most admirably poised and truly
; deliberative sessions I have ever
known is a vindication of Republi
canism at its best. I predict for the
nominees of this convention an over
whelming victory at the polls, a vic
tory in which Pennsylvania will glor
iously lead."
"The delegates of Lancaster county
are elated over the nomination of
Justice Hughp.s," said Congressman W.
W. Grlest. "Four years ago the dele
gates from our county voted for
Hughes, and in this convention, after
I giving a complimentary vote to the
J Jovernor of our State, they led in the
•ting for the distinguished son of the
I Empire Stuto. '
Dr. Hawes Makes Strong
Plea For Raising Funds
That God is a believer in reciprocity
| was the trend of the Rev. Dr. George
i Edward Hawes' sermon •in Market
I Square Presbyterian Church yesterday
morning, when he made an earnest
plea for more general support of the
plan to raise $40,000 for the necessary
improvements which are contemplated
jin the campaign. He declared that it
I has been proved time and again that
j the nation to which God gives pros
i perity will be shortly on the decline
;if it neglects the church which Is
! God's house.
"If I dared," said Dr. Hawes, "I
would plead, not for $40,000, but for
$100,000." And then he referred, some
what humorously, to the general
prevalence, indicative of prosperity, of
automobiles among all but the min
isters.
Twenty-five per cent, of the mem
bers have contributed, but there are
still over 900 members to be heard
from and it Is expected that stock will
soon be taken out that will bring the
subscriptions quickly up to the re
quired amount.
Announcement was made yesterday
by special bulletin of the annual con
gregational and Sunday School plonic
which will be held at Boiling Springs
on Wednesday, June 21. The com
mittees were likewise announced.
TROOP VETERANS* REUNION*
To-morrow the Veteran Association

mand at Mt. Gretna during the mobili
zation of the Pennsylvania National
