which gave rise to the birth of the
Progressive party and the subsequent
election of Woodrow Wilson, was fresh
in the minds of the people and poli .
ticians alike. Senator PCnrose's can
didacy, therefore. was a challenge to
the progressive element Of both parties
and the gauntlet was promptly picked
up.
Independent Republicans. with the
late J. Benjamin Dimmick as their
candidate, fought the senator's renomi
nation in the Republican primaries
PenrOse defeated Dimmick. and then
had to fice A. Mitchell Palmer. the
Democratic nominee, and Clifford Pin =

the Progressive nominee. in the Novcln
Der election. Again Penrose won.
The senator had been able to hold
the Republican state organization in
line. and had thrOttled factionalism
because he stood for the candidacy OF
Martin &. Brumbnugh for Governor.
The Wares were particularly interested
in the success of Doctor Brumbaugh
Some have, therefore. charged that
PenrOSe was more interested in the re =
election of himself than in the COVER
norShip. particularly a. another Gov
ernor was to be chosen before his own
