PS "Cannot Be Chairman Finance," Says Borah, and Senate Sees Storm Clouds Gather. WANT TO "PRY HIM LOOSE" FROM THAT POSITION Republicans Feel They Would Be Stronger Before the Country if This Could Be Done. By JUDSON C. WELLIVER. (Staff Correspondent of Globe. Copy right. 1918, by J. C. Welliver.) Washington. Nov. 25. Boies Pen rose has the distinction of standing alone today as the pre-eminent bogie man of the (Republican party. But a little while ,a(o there was notable group of bogie men Aldrich Hale, Crane, JOrimer, Cannon, Dalzell, Barnes, Foraker, Penrose, and so on. Rising insurgency conjured with their names, and democracy capitalized the Renublican quarrel. Today they are all passed into the shadows save only the Pennsylvania chieftain. Much effort has been de voted to making a bo?ie man of Reed SmooLbut it his failed.

The rise of Smoot, who a few vears ago came to the Senate to face hnrges on which he narrowly escaped being excluded, is one of the striking nroefs that the sent is a real de mocracy. A man who has the ouali t;es of leadership will win recognition. 'Imoot hus done H under a handicap of conditions that might well have dis couraged any man. As the gunnly of bogies has lessen ed, the intensity of the feeling gainst those remaining has increas d: unil now Penrose stands alon". vith all the vials of insurgent wrath 'howered cn his devoted head. Places of Power. Personally Penrose is rather popu 'ir among his collesgnes. He oos essed the courace of h's reactonism. earned his politics in the eminently -"actical school of the Camerons and Quay, and if he were as hard a work er as Smoot, would be in a far greater oower than he is. But it is pro tested that he holds places of power on three grest committees, and pays ilmost no attention to any hut the one now first in importance, finance of which he is Republican leader, and will he chairman after March 4, unless precedent is overturned. Penrose is the prince of cynics, and withal has a delicious humor. The other dy he passed out a fine sample of it. He was lecturing a cloakroom rroiio. It was ngit alter election. ind political qualities were under dis cussion. "A young man." announced Pen rose, in tne rumni'ng pass mat is quite inimitable, "should aim at the outset of his career to lose nis repu tation. Therefore, if he does any thing wrong nobody cares; while, if he chances to do something credit able, he is universally lauded for it." Borxh lUltiroatum Borah of Idiho has delivered an ul imatum to Republican leadership: 'Penrose cannot b. chairman of finance." That is flt unqualified, sweeping. Mr. Borah has stated no alternative: has mane no threats. No- Hody knows what he might do, how far. he might go. There is a shrewd uspicion that he could, without po litical harm to his career, go as far as he liked. Idaho is one of those Western states in which the old-style eastern leader ship is unpopular. It is by no means certain that Borah would rum his sree if he should go so far as to loin the Democrats snd enable them o elect a Democratic head of the finance committee. In the new Sen ate, after March 4, a change of one vote from Republicans to Democrats would tie the .body, and tne vice- president would vote for a Demo cratic chairman of tbe greatest com mittee. This Borah fight on Penrose Js not to be confused with the Norfis fight for a new distribution of com mittee assignment. Norris has not united in the fight on Penrose, he is simplv insisting on his amendment to the rules, under which po senstor, be ing chairman of one of the great committees, could be a member of any oiner.
