AS a prophet Republican Ma
tional Chairman Hilles is without
honor in his own party. He did
much prOphesying in the sum-
mer and early fall of 1912. the
burden of his song then being the
triumphant reelection of Mr..
Taft. In view of the remarkable
discrepancy between .eprophecS
and the fulfillment two years a~o
Chairman Hilles' word-picture of
Republican landslide in 1916
will be regarded as artistic but
uncOnvincine.
1t is notable mostly as further
evidence of the unchanged Bor-
bonism of the Republican party.
Unchastened by its three success
sive defeats. in 1910. 1912. and
1914. the party leadership and
party purposes are as reactionary
as of old. Such gains as the G. o.
P. made in the last Congressional
election were almost entirely of
standpatters. But. while the re-
dictionaries remain in the ascend
ancy. in the Republican party,
they do not reflect the sentiment
Of the country at large. as the en-
dorsement of President Wilson's
Administration in the late cleo
ton amply demonstrates.

Nifty the ''split" between Presi-
dent Wilson and certain Senators
over patronage is. therefore. far

In the present case it appears
that four members of the Senate
are stirring up the rumpus. Of
these, three. O'Gorman of New
