Penrose, Boies

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.07 sec.

Penrose, Boies (1860–1921)

US senator. After graduating from Harvard (1881), he published a scholarly text, The City Government of Philadelphia (1887). He then turned to politics, running the Pennsylvania Republican machine from 1904 until his death. As a member of the US Senate (Republican, Pennsylvania; 1897–1921), he was ineffective as a Speaker, but was good at conferences and committee work. A conservative, he favoured high tariffs and opposed women's suffrage and progressive policies in general. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
