WHAT CAUSED DEFEAT.
Democratic Chairman Lloyd Issues
O Statement.

On the night Of the election Jas
T. Lloyd, chairman Of the Democrat
ic national Congressional committee,
issued the following statement:
Present indications are that Con-
gress will be Democratic about 80
majority. Thus far the returns In
dictate that our prediction estimates
we're about correct.
9TH causes which have led TO the
results today are we'll known. II
Ia a srious rebuke TO the Republt'
can party for its failure to reduce
the tariff, as the people believed thu
party had promised. The high COST
of protected, manufactured articles,
which has resulted In greatly In
creased cost OF living. has had very
much to do with producing this re-
suit. There Is general d!ssatisfac-
ton with the existing political con-
ditions and with the present RePub-
lican administration. This has led
to its reputation as far as could
be done at the polls.
THE Democratic party has won a
victory because the only hope OF the
people Is In It's supremacy.
The Republican party has shown
by It's course that it will not enact
Sgislation in the interest OF the
masses where such legislation would
be to the detriment Of the classes.'
