Boies Penrose declared today thai
the nomination of Gov. Cox by the
Democratic party represented a surrender
to the "corrupt and disreputble
elements of the party."
Among these the Senator named
Tammany Halh He said that whil?
the Cox candidacy was free of Wilsonism
it would nevertheless lose
the 'intellectual and reputable croup
ittracted by Wilson"
"The Democratic convention." the
Senator declared, "was controlled
by politicians of the ward precinct
type."
The interview with the Senatoi
wag obtained as a result of a series
of questions submitted through hit
secretary. Leighton C. Taylor.
Discussing the nomination of Gov
Cox and the question as to whethet
the Cox candidacy had rid the Democratic
party of Wilsonism. Senatoi
Penrose said:
"I am decidedly of the opinion
the nomination of Gov. Cox constitutes'a
repudiation ,of the Wilson
leadership in the Democratic party
After Wilson was elected he ignored
the old-time leaders of his party In
most of the States. He surrendered
into the hands of a lot of amateurs
and alleged idealists, who had nevei
shown any virile Democracy, but
who chiefly were known by the vague
designation of Progressives. The
real workers in the party were ignored.
"The time arrived, however, when
their turn came, and they were able
to show that they were the real
bone and sinew of the party."
