Tile next year he was-, awarded
dirse municipal contract for street
cleaning. In ten years the bro
thers handled more than 813.ftbo

was actively interested in central
work as head of The Vare Com
pany, but the concern had done
no municipal work since 1919.
It was in 1895 that the Vares
made their first major move in pol
itics and the next year placed a
complete city council ticket in ill"
field. They routed the Republican
organization in the first ward and
then gradually extended their in
fluence until they were in con roi
of the city politically shortly after
the turn of the century.
In those days, George Vare was
looked upon as the politician: Ed
win as the business man and Wil
liam as the candidate for office.
The last named began in public
office as a member of the city
council and then in turn served as

Mr. V'iin; married .Miss Ida'
Morris of Philadelphia in July,
19 9 7. They had three daughters
Beatrice, Mildred and Ida May.
The last named died in China
while accompanying her father
with a Congressional delegation
was touring the Far East.
A candidate for mayor of Phil
adelphia in 1911, Mr. Vare was
defeated"TTJT Rudolph ilia nkenhurg
running on an independent tTk
et. That campaign led to a break
between the Vares and the Ja.c
James I’. McN'ichol. a former h !
er of- til,. Republican o/ganizaiioii
who Had' entered ..‘into aii alliance
with tliim. The late Ben atm Boise
PenroSf, threw his ltelp to Mi Nic
hoi. -beginning a conflict with the
Vares for control of the organiz
ation that* continued until Sengto”
Penrose’s death in 1921. A year
later the death of Edwin Vare
left William as the undisputed ,
leader of the Republican organiz- j
ation, his brother George having
died several years before.
The new leader, given loyal sup
port by the ward organization
nu iekiy solidified the party and
strengthened his hold until lie
completely dominated the polit
ical affairs of Philadelphia anij
made his influence felt in other
parts of the state.
When he became a cannioate
for fhe Republican nomination for
United States Senator in 1926, Mr.
Vare was opposed in the primary
by Senator beorce Wharton Pep
per seeking re-election, and Ox
ford Pinchot whose term as cover
nor of Pennsylvania was near
ing its end. Varo made prohibi
tion a campaicn Issue, fa vc'I-r
light wine and beir, but his tour
of the state refused to be drav i
into debates or attacks on his op
ponents.
Vare won the nomination by
virtue of his sweep of Philadephia
i with Pepper second and Pinchot
third. Then at the November
|
election he defeated William 1!
Wilson, who was secretary of la
bor in the cabinet of President
Wilson.
Rumors of the lavish use o
money in the primary led to the
appointment of a special commit
tee of the United States Senati
to investigate* campaicn expense's
It was brought out that the for.
es behind Senator Pepper had >*x
tended about $2,000,000; the Ynre*:
group about $Soo,0OO and Govern
or Pinchot approximately $1.'ir>,
000.
Then Mr. Wilson entered h
charge of fraud, contesting
vote in Philadelphia and four oth
er counties, while Vare retaliat
•i! by demanding a recount, in the
rest of the state. The ballot b --
"s of the general election wet*
'aken to Washington and the cas»
was „sept to the committee on -el
ections and priveleges. Meanwhile

been elected?'
Mi Vare had resigned his

membership on the Philadelphii
Ftop'iibPcan„ City Committee. When
the S nate declined rb self, hhi
the case went hark ti> the Inv' »i
Igating committee.
At the Republican National Con
vention at Kansas City in lD.’s.
Mr. Vare led the Pennsylvania
delegation into the camp of H
bert Hoover, a move that was r
garded as the turning point
definitely swinging ' the convent! n
to Mr. Hoover. Several week*
after he returned from the con
vention Mr. Vare suffered a stroke
and for some time his life hung
in the balance.
Although no authoritative es
timate of his fortune was avail
able, Mr. Vare was reputed to be
a millionaire. He gave large sum*
to charity, a practice that prov
ed a considerable factor in hi*
rise to political power.
In addition to his . family resi
dence In Philadelphia, Mr. Vara
maintained a home at Atlantia
