The Penrose Diversion.
Frnm the Menu Ynrh, poc4

ANSV va n Il .
The report that Senator Fenrose was
too Ill to be politically active was de-
MED the other day by his brother. He
said that the senator would be at the
Chicago convention with bells on"
One of the bells Senator Penrose has
set ringing in Philadelphia. He breaks
his long silence. He also breaks some
other things. Certain aspirants for the
presidency and certain campaign man.
ayers will note with grief the magister-
ial manner in which Penrose sweeps
aside all that has been done so far. The
primaries, he declares, have developed
no paramount candidates." There
fore, he infers, let us republicans for
get all about them and turn to the real
business of making a nomination.
II this point. Penrose. is serious
enough. And he undoubtedly expresses
the prevailing view OF republican man
ayers when he virtually rules out as
impossible the nomination of either
Wood. Lowden or Johnson: But the
Pennsylvania senator becomes humor-
ous-he probably smiles at his own d.
version-when he gravely proposes SEN
ator Knox as the candidate for whom
the republican party has been breath
lessly waiting. This Is simply. one of
Penrose's little jokes. Perhaps, he
means II parity as g dig at Senator
Lodge. whom he heartlessly passes by.
But saying nothing of Senator Knox,s
abilities, which are considerable, or of
his reputation, which he has done SO
muc in the past year to fritter away,
the idea that he could be made the re-
publican nominee reveals its absurdity
on simple inspection. Penrose's sug-
gestion Is simply his way Of serving
notice that the time has come to talk
about other men. Knox will do well
enough to begin with. But what plainly
Hes behind Is the notion that, / n the end.
Is men will meet in O room at Chicago
and settle the whole thing.
