PENROSE STICKS
TO CANDIDACY
Senator Says He Won't
Withdraw From Finance
Craftsmanship Fight
SEES C.. o. p. HARMONY
Signers of Alleged Letter
From "Progressives'' to Hays
Still in Background
By a StdT Correspondent

Washington, Nov. 90.
Senator Penrose does not intend to
withdraw as a candidate for chairman
Of The Senate Finance Committee. and
believes there will be perfect harmony
among the Senate Republicans. and THAI
his withdrawal will be unnecessary, and
he does not belong to the 'wlthdrawers
anyway" he emphatically declared to-
day.
II confidently believe I shall succeed
to the craftsmanship of the Finance Com
mittee, to which 1 am entitled by all
the rules of seniority, and all is going to
be harmonious in the Republican ranks
for the organization of the Senate" said
Senator Penrose. "All this talk about
a progressive movement among the Sem
ate Republicans to discard the rule of
seniority is Democratic propaganda to
encourage break in our ranks that
would allow the Democrats to continue
control of the Senate"
This was Senator Penrose's comment
on the report that 4 group OF the Senate
Republicans from the Middle West.
headed by Senator William Borah, Of
Nevada, had written to Will Hays. chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee, urging him to have Senator Pen
rose withdraw as n candidate for the
Finance Committee chairmanship and
threatening to force his withdrawal II
he did not voluntarily step down.
Senator Penrose added that all OF
the Republican Senator's who have dis
cussed organization with him have as
sured him of their support for chair
man of the Finance Committee
Aside from all this is the gossip that
eight Senators-Borah, Kenyon. La Fol-
lette, Gronna. Norris. Cummins, Poin-
dexter and Lenroot-have agreed to
band together to force Senator Penrose
to step aside and make way for what
they term a progressive" ostensibly
one of their number. for the chairman
ship. II he does not abdicate, so the
story goes. they will make 1t impos-
sible for the Republicans to take con-
troll of the Senate away from the De-
mocrats.
The Republicans in the Senate are
going to defeat all efforts of Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo to write
supplementary war revenue bill for 1920
into the revenue bill now under consd-
Grafton.
Secretary McAdoo Is sadly mistaken
IL he believes the Republicans are going
to sit supinely by and permit him to
write a $4,000. 100000 war revenue bill
for 1920 into the $4,000. .0OO, 900 revenue
bill for the present taxable year now
being considered by the Senate" said
Senator Penrose.
THE Republican party Is going to
have something to say about taxation
for the year 1920. when we shall have
control of the Senate and House." he
continued. ut would be fine for the
Democratic Administration, I have no
doubt. to pass in the December session
war revenue bill covering the period
right up to the next election, but it
won't happen"
