TO CANDIDACY
Senator Says He Won't
Withdraw From Finance
Chairmanship Fight
SEES G. 0. P. HARMONY
Signers of Alleged Letter
From "Progressives" to Hays
Still in Background
By a 8atf rorrrspoirffnt
trnaltlnrtnn, Nov 20.
Senator Penrose does not Intend to
withdraw as a cnndldnte for chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee, and
believes there -n 111 bo pfrfect harmony
among the Senate Kopuhllcans, and tho
his withdrawal -will be unnecessary, and
he does not belonR to the "wlthdrawers
anyway," ho emphatically declared to
day, "I confidently bellevo I shall succeed
to the chairmanship of tho Finance Com
mittee, to which I am entltUd by all
tho rules of seniority, nnd all Is going to
be harmonious In the Uepubllean ranks
for the organization of the Senate," said
Senator Penrose. "All this talk about
a progressle movement among the Sen
ate Republicans to discard the rulo of
fenlorlty Is Democratic propaganda to
encourage n break In our ranks that
would allow the Democrats to contlnuo
control of the Senate."
This was Senator Penrose's comment
on tho report that a group of thn Snate
Republicans from tho Middle West,
headed by Senator William Eorah, of
Nevada, had written to Will IIas. chair
man of tho Republican National Com
mittee, urging him to have Senator Pen
rose withdraw as a candldato for the
Finance Committee chairmanship, and
threatening to force his withdrawal If
he did not oluntarlly step down.
Senator Penrose added that all of
the Republican Senators who h."uo dis
cussed organization with him have as
sured him of their support for chair
man of the Finance Committee.
Aside from all this Is the gossip that
eight Senators Borah, Ken) on, I.a Fol
lette, Gronna, Norrls, Cummins, Poln
dexter and Lcnroot have agreed to
band together to force Senator Penrose
to step aside and make way for what
they term a "Progressle," ostensibly
one of their number, for tho chairman
ship. If he does not abdicate, so the
story goes, they will make It Impos
sible for the Republicans to take con
trol of tho Senate nway from .the De
mocrats. Tho Republicans In tho Senate aro
going to defeat all efforts of Secretary
of tho Treasury McAdoo to write a
suplementarry wnr revenue bill for 1920
Into the recnuo bill now under consid
eration "Secretary McAdoo Is sadly mistaken
If ho bcllee8 the Republicans are going
to sit Buplnely by and permit him to
wrlto a 14,000,000,000 war reenue bill
for 1920 Into tho JO, 000, 000, 000 reenue
bill for the present taxable year now
being considered bv tho Senate," said
Senator Penrose.
"The Republican party Is going to
hao something to say about taxation
for tho year 1920, when wo shall hao
control of tho Senate and House." he
continued. "It would bo fine for tho
Democratic Administration, I hae no
doubt, to pass In the December session
a war reenue bill cocrlng the period
right up to tho next election, but It
won't happen."
