DEATH.
MEANS BIC CHANGE:
IN PA. POLITICS
LAST OF THE BOSSES
For the First Time in Forty
Years the Chairmanship Of
the Finance Committee Pass
es from the East to the West,
Senator McCumber Will Get
the Place.

Washington, Jan. q Official
Washington turned from the bier of
Boies Penrose to moralize upon the
changed conditions of the country's
politics.
Senator Penrose's place in public
affairs will never be filled, in the
judgment of the politicians. He was
the last of a vanishing race that
counted among it's numbers, Platt,
Quay, Hanna, AldrichNan Crane, who
will be known as party managers or
political bosses. He was the unchal-
lenged chief of the political agency,
exalted as the Republican organiza-
tion of Pennsylvania or execrated as
"the machine, to be determined by
the mental attitude of him who sits
lin Judgment.
With Penrose goes the last of that
long list of Republicans bosses in
Pennsylvania, starting with Cameron
and followed by Quay, whom Penrose
succeeded and became the superior as
ia political leader.
The Republican organization in
Pennsylvania will not be led by a
single man for years to come. 1t has
fallen to the ground, and several
leaders-Governor Sproul, the Wares
in 7PhiladelphiasM Mayor Magee in
Pittsburg, and Representative w.
w. Criest, of Lancaster-will be the
powers in the next few months.
For the first time in forty years the
ance Comm of the Senate passes from
the East to the West. The terms OF
Morrell, Aldrich and Penrose. who
were the Republican Chairmen of thi:
committee, covered forty years.
i AS the farm Bloc comes to power
!, the Craftsmanship pases to the west
as Senator McCumber of North Da
kota will be elected to that place
, following the f1ie Of seniority in sue
, .cession.
!. The successor of Senator Penros'
: will be named by the Governor o
Pennsylvania within the next ten days
fSenate to be filled by -Governo
;Sproul within a month. The other wa
due to the death of Philander {
, Knox, whose successor is William T
Crow.
The term of Mr.. Sproul as Cover
nor will expire in January of ne1
year. 1t is considered likely that b
will name for the. Penrose vacancy E
win S. Stuart of hiladelphia, who ha
retired from politics and may acceI
the honor with the understandin
. that he will serve only. until SUI
cessor is elected. In this event Sprou
himself, probably will be "a candida
for the rest of the term. The vacant
will be filled at the elections in N
