Penrose Last Of

Who Ruled Senate
Passing of Pennsylvania Sen.

Washington, Jan 2.-The passing
OF Boies Pcnrose marks the end OF
an era characterized by the domina-
ton of the senate by eastern senator's
who were themselves great political
bosses. 1t directs attention to the
rise of the west to commanding IN
fluence III congress, process that
has been in progress notceably Tor d
decade.
Pcmose was the last OF the cast
ern bosses who dominated the re-
publican party for generation and
shaped legislation in the senate. The
group included such men as Aldrich
OF Rhode Island, Quay of Pennsyl-
vania, Hale of Maine and Platt OF
New York, a quartet which ruled
congress with an iron hand arfd die
tated the high protective tariff and
other legislation on which the in
dustrial and financial interests OF
the cast waxed Tat.
Successor to Quay.
pcnrosc succeeded Quay as boss
of PENNSYLVANIA and rose to be grand
marshal OF the old guard in and out
Of the senate. But it was not long
before the twilight OF the bosses sci
in with the progressive rcyolutiof
during the Roosevelt and Taft ad
ininistrations and Pcnrose fount
himself the sole survivor OF the ole
oIigarchy. While he fingered tht
| figures of the eastern leaders fadee
from the picture and were replaced
/ by western men.
With Penrose gone there is not
man left in the senate who holds hi
state politically in the hollow OF hi
| hand. The only man OF the eastern
! leaders Left is Senator Lodge o
i Massachusetts. and he is not boss o
tho state and never has been. He i
the republican leader of the senate
but while he reigns, he does not rule
i Western Men Now Leaders.
The outstanding leaders OF th
senate today are such men OF tn
west as Cummins and Kenyon Q

OF the finance committee. Lenroot o

! Senator Watson OF Indiana fall
heir to the mantle OF Penrose a
leader of the conservative elemen
in the senate. and the day is probabl
rot far distant when he will sue
ceed Senator Lodge as republica
leader. His influence commands
wider grasp than did that OF Pen
rose. for Watson can count OH th
support OF more progressive repub
| licans than could the Pennsylvani
boss at any period OF his career.
! There will be test of this neN
power OF the west at no distant dat
when the proposal to construct tn
