, Tener as his candidate for COVER
nor. The opposition was divided
between two Democrats, Berry and
Grim 1t took the vote OF South
| Philadelphia, under Republican
| leaders opposed to PenroSe but sup
| porting Tener, to elect, by a small
| plurality, the Fenrose candidate,
| An undivided opposition would have
defeated him with ease. Two years
later, in the presidential primaries
of 1912, the Penrose organization
was simply overwhelmed.
In 1914 Senator PenrOSe became
candidate to succeed himself.
Again the opposition was divided
Senator Penrose was elected, but
he lacked 72,2S0 votes of a major
ity, and ran far behind the candi-
date for governor, who received a
majority of 66,15S votes. He is a
minority senator
The Penrose Republican vote in
1914 fell below the 1916 Hughes Re-
publican vote in Pennsylvania by
100000. In 1916 the Democrats
gave President Wilson 22,44S more
votes in Pennsylvania than the Re
publicans gave Senator Penrose
two years before.
The facts appear to SHOVE
That as a Republican, Senator
Penrose sacrificed his party to his
individual ambition, and is willing
to do it again.
That as a senator he has been
the consistent servant of special
privilege and open enemy OF the
square deal.
That under his leadership, IN a
rock-ribbed Republican state, the
Republican vote has steadily dwin-
died away.
Neither as a Republican, nor a
senator, nor as a political leader,
has Senator Penrose the slightest
claim, save seniority alone. to any
position of leadership.
The only strength of the Penrose
case lies in the proposition that Re-
publicans must get together to de-
feat the Democrats. That PROPOSE
ton is sound. but itsdoee not apply
to Senator Penrose. The surest
way to discord lies in q leader
whom the rank and file distrust.
The ostrich policy Is never good
politics in America.
Penrose supporters han hts at
tack upon Democratic inefficiency
and extravaganza as a sign of
craftsmanship, and title to lead
ership. But can loyal Republicans
accept as their leader the conspir-
ator chiefly responsible for the ex-
1stence of that very Democratic
waste and extravaganza which he
is now attempting to capitalize?
Nine out of ten Republican voters
are opposed to giving power and
leadership to Senator Penrose. If,
IN the face Of this Republican sen
ttment, he is chosen, and hurt comes
to the party because OF It, every
state, county, district, township,
ward, division. and precinct COM
mittee, every Republican club and
party organization, every Republi-
can in office, and every Republican
voter. Will feel that hurt, and there
will be heavy bill to pay.

Exactly how the former emperor was
affected by the tidings cannot be as
certained, but the attitude of members

that the news was considerable
shock.
Attendants made the most scathing
criticisms of the German national as.

had held to the hope that some way
would be found for the former emper-
or to RETURN to Germany. Now, how.
ever. 1t apparently is realized that he

Paris, June 27.-Another day has
passed with the delegates of the Allied
and associated powers in Paris await
ing in vain for definite word from the
Germans as to when they will be

Unofficial opinion in the French cap
ital is that the event will not take

not until Monday.

In trying to arrange the personnel OF

No Choice Made.
The Germans thus far have given
no intimation as to what men are to
be the choice of the Bauer govern
ment. Unofficial advices indicate that
the cabinet is experiencing difficulty
in finding men who are willing to take
upon their shoulders the duty of &C
knowledging Germany's utter defeat
in the war and her unqualified acqui
escence to the terms of the victors.
Reports are that Herr Mueller, for
eign secretary in the Bauer cabinet
like DR.. Haniel Won Haimhausen, de
clined to accept the onus for signing
treaty admittedly obnoxious to the
Germans.
Secretary Uninformsd.
Even a visit TO Versailles, where
the members of the original German
delegation still are, by the general
secretary of the Peace conference
failed to bring forth any knowledge OF
what was being done In Germany
toward the selection OF plenipoten
tiaries.
Paris dispatches assert that owing
to the uncertainty of the situation, the
heads OF the Allied and associated
powers are contemplating the issue OF
an ultimatum setting a day and time

reports that the formsr German crown

many after the signing of the peace

known after an Associated Press dis

Creates Stir.
Paris, June 27.-News of the escape
of the former crown prince caused a
con nsiderable stir in peace conference
circles. While 1t is not felt that he
is a figure around which the reac-
tionaries and monarchists would gath.
er enthusiastically nevertheless, his
act is regarded as an event of consid
cradle significance in view of other
German recalcitrancy
Hints have come from Germany
within the last few days that the
military caste there would not be
averse to bringing about military
situation within the former empire
that would embarrass the Allies In
putting the peace treaty into effect
and it seems not improbable that the
move made by the former crown
prince is connected with some such
plan.
The former crown prince made his
way into Holland shortly after the
signing of the armistice last Novem
ber and was interned there by the
Dutch government, taking up his resi-
dence on the island OF Wieringen, in
the Zuyder Zee.
