NOT AN IDLE DREAM.

composed OF Sc Democrats. 80 Repub
leans and one Progressive. The lone

In that State. a straight-out Republi

from now. In figuring on the posi-
bility of the Republicans getting con
troll Of the Senate in 1917. Il is as
certain as certainty can be that the
"a Republicans. whose terms expire
in two years will be succeeded by Re
publicans.
OF the Il Democrats. whose terms
expire, many of them come from nor
NAL Republican States. such as In
diana. Maine. Nebraska. Nevada. New
Jersey. New York. Ohio and West Vir
ginia, with eve chances in Arizona
and Montana. With these States re
turning a Republican representation
there will be no trouble about the
realization of complete Republican
domination OF National affairs at the
next Presidential election.
II will not matter IL present de

stimulus of the European war. The
country knows what. the Underwood
bill can do when II stands alone. and
that apo the recovery OF the nations

be told that was related in the month:
preceding the war. which showed vi
the defects of the Democratic econo

vor Of protection and will so express
itself in 1916. Therefore the dream
Of a Republican Senate in 1917 is moi
