Roosevelt League Swings
Around to Hughes
Oyster Bay. X. Y., June 23.—Colonel
Roosevelt returned to Sagamore Hill
last night after holding several im
portant political conferences at the
Hotel Langdon in New York. Coinci
dent with Roosevelt's arrival in Oyster
Bay came the announcement that the
Roosevelt Nonpartisan League had
climbed on the Hughes bandwagon.
Guy Emerson, secretary, and T. C.
Desmond, treasurer, who organized
the league to get Roosevelt the Repub
lican nomination, made the announce
ment Immediately after a long inter
view with the colonel. They issued
the following official statement.
"The 75,000 members of the Roose
vlt Nonpartisan League joined the
league because they believed in the
principles of Americanism as personi
fied by Theodore Roosevelt, and inas
much as Colonel Roosevelt was not
nominated by the Republican National
convention the members of the league
are. of course, under no obligations,
and they are free to follow their own
individual preferences in regard to
the present candidates fo rthe presi
dency.
"As the two national officers of the
league, however, we would state that
we personally intend to support
Charles E. Hughes. We believe that
Mr. Hughes stands for the same great
principles of nonpartisan American
ism which inspired the formation of
the Roosevelt Nonpartisan League,
and we intend to use our influence to
enlist all the members of the league
to work for the election of Mr. Hughes
as President."
This announcement is regarded here
as the opening of the campaign to
swing the colonel's supporters of every
affiliation into line to support Hughes
next Fall.
Some of the most prominent mem
bers of the league are Thomas A. Edi
son, Charles J. Bonapart, Luke E.
Wright, Truman Newberry, William
Hamlin Cliilds. George Ade. Booth
Tarklngton. Hamlin Garland, Hugh
Chalmers, Lawrence Abbott and Owen

GOVERNOR BIDS
LAST GOOD-BY
[Continued From First Pago]
outside the Governor went through the
firmorj', had a look at the kitchens,
the mess hall and the sleeping quar
ters. Jn the mess hhll the men were ■
about ready for luncheon and the long l
tables were piled high with bread, etc. 1
The Governor stopped at one plate,
picked up a slice of bread and ate a,
portion of it. He placed the rest in his :
vest pocket.
"Just for good luck, sir," he said
smilingly to Captain George C. Jack. >
Governor Brumbaugh made the;
rounds of the armories in his car and
only William Ball,his private secretary
accompanied him.
The Big Event
The visit of the Gevernor was the
big event at both the cavalry and the
infantry armories to-day the last
day before the men entrain for Mt.
Gretna and. who knows perhaps
Mexico and beyond. ,
Late this afternoon First Sergeant
Charles Kline distributed the equip
ment, including saddles, etc. The men
put in the remainder of the day pack
ing. The troopers have been ordered
to entrain about 6 or 6:30 o'clock Sun- !
day and when the command leaves
the armory it will be filled to its full
i (implement. A waiting list of enough 1
desirable recruits to fill another troop
will be sent on to Gretna later.
The Whistling Chorus
The first night In the armory last
evening was a niemorabel one. The
men had cot» on the drill floor but
there was little sleep for anybody until |
an hour or so before dawn this
morning. Second Lieutenant Roberts
who remained on duty until the early
hours heard pretty good evidence of
the joyous wakefulness of the troopers
sometime 'round 2 o'clock.
The troop to a man joined in a
whistling chorus that lasted for sev
eral hours. Over and over again the
odd choral combination echoed
through the deserted Eighth ward —j
and there was whistling in every pos- ,
sible key. "On my Way. to Mandalay,"^
'was the favorite and "Good-by, Little!
Girl, Good-by," was a good second i
choice.
Some Who "Want to Go"
Sometime before 3 o'clock whistling
lost its charm and the troopers let I
loose what was left of their enthusiasm j
in long cheers —for each man.
Recruiting is going on a-pace at the
| Troo parmory. Telegrams arrive from I
j time to time from ex-members of
the command who are willing and \
eager to come from out-of-town to;
enlist. Five members of the State
| police, all ex-members wrote Captain j
| Jack that they'll enlist if they can ar-I
: range to have their positions kept open j
| for them. Another busy recruit added I
jto the Troop's ranks to-day was j
j David MeC'onnell, famous throughout,'
I this: section of the State as a basket -j
j bal' player. Several>ex-regular eav- j
! alrymen have joined including one '
1 man who only a few weeks ago saw
active service in Mexico with "G" j
troop of the Twelfth cavalry.
Col. Ott a Visitor
Ex-troop officers have been frequent,
visitors to the armory. Among those '
; who spent a good part of the day there ]
was Lieutenant Colonel F. M. Ott,
! former commander of the Troop, i
Grant Koons, ex-first sergeant, and a !
hos» of others. Lieutenant Edgar C. !
Hummel, a former lieutenant of the
Troop, and now commissary of the:
Second Squadron got his orders by j
telegraph this morning to report at
' Mt. Gretna to-morrow. Mothers, sis
terf: and wives are frequent visitors at'
the Troop armory, and proud troopers!
arc having the time of their lives 1
j "showin' 'em about."
For an hour or so to-day the troop- ,
ers got a taste of rifle and pistol drill. |
j Saber drills have been discarded al-j
though the men when mounted will
(carry this weapon along. No drilling!
with horses even for the recruits will
be possible before the men get to Mt.
Gretna at least, and possibly not even
j then. The raw recruit may not get
a chance to straddle a mount before 1
he gets to the border.
Tlie "Chief of the Body Guard
Shortly before 12 o'clock to-day j
; Trumpeter Paul E. Kurzenknabe
sounded "assemhly" and a few minutes]
A later the entire troop lined up in the;

street. Then the long: gray car of
ihi State's chief executive magistrate
slipped up to the curb.
Captain Jack met Governor Brum
baugh and Mr. Ball and at the Gov-
I ernor's request escorted him to the
' right of the line. As the Governor |
I stopped for a moment to each men he
: said:
A Governor's "Gooil-by"
: "Tjet me congratulate you on your
i splendid appearance. The country;
j would surely he in a bady way if it 1
did not have such as you to fall back
upon. I've more than a kindly inter
! est In you men; the Troop is the gov-!
| ernor's bodyguard, you know. I've!
followed your work carefully. Your
; work at Pittsburgh was particularly)
commendable. Ah," lie nodded ap
| P''relatively as he noted an ex-regular !
j with automatic slung to his hip, "YOU I
i seem to be fully prepared for real )
service. My best wishes go with you.!
Take care of yourselves, boys. Good-'
: by ana good luck —wherever you go!" j
While inspecting the armory the j
Governor heartily commended Cap
! tain Jack upon the splendid condition 1
;of the men. And after he had broken I
| bread, the assembled troopers gave a!
i real cavalryman's cheer to the de- j
: parting executive.
At the Infantry Armory
Governor Brumbaugh talked from
! 'he platform of the infantry armory!
Iti the assembled men of Companies!
D and I. He complimented them on ,
their splendid appearance, fitness and!
patriotism and said that as always,!
j Pennsylvania's Guardsmen stand ever
ready to uphold the honor of the Flag. '
'Prior t<> meeting the men upstairs!
, Governor Brumbaugh met Colonel j
i Maurice E. Finney and the other ofTl- 1
cerf of the Eighth In the officers' i
rcom.
' "Rookies" to-day got their first try
out with rifles in the open lots near'
the armory. New names were added
to the rosters, too. Company I now
boasts of 1<• 1 men on its rolls and
Company D has a few less with would
be recruits on the waiting list. Three
brothers enlisted in Company I this
morning from New Cumberland. They
are Earl, Charles and Phillip Rickley. |
The Message of the Clover
I When Colonel Finney, Captain Owen^
M. Copelin, inspector of small arms,
and Captain Harry H. Baker, the
EightYs adjutant opened their mail
at. the armory this morning, each
found a little unsigned note contain
ing these three words:
"Good-by and good luck!"
At the top of each little sheet was
| a single four-leafed clover.
