Des Moines April s.-The tariff is
sue will defeat the democratic party
at the next national election, accord
ing to the prediction made by W. s.
Mckinley. president of the Illinois

the new tariff bill is creating an enor-
nous amount Of dissatisfaction, es-
pecfany through the northern states
and believes that the republicans will
be in the majority IN congress during

chairman of the Taft congressional
committee during the last national
election. Although not actively engaged
In politics at the present time Mr.. Nc
Kinley is close student OF political
affairs.
st Is my prediction that. the. new
tariff bill will defeat the dem ocrats at
the next election" said Mr. Mckinley
this morning the tariff issue has re-
suited IN a great deal of dissa cisfaction.
especially in the northern states. am
somewhat Of a farmer myself and I
know that I am getting 10 cents less
for corn now than I received during
the last few years. Farmers in Iowa
and Illinois, two great corn raising
states, are feeling the effects Of the
bill and all are dissatisfied
South in Control.
Democratic members of congress
undoubtedly are just as good as re-
publicans, but when you let the demo-
Gratis get the majority. you put the
southern states in control. It is a
noticeable fact that the only product
OF the south affected by the tariff bill
Is sugar and a number Of northern
states that produce sugar feel the
effects Of the measure. The tariff bill
IS worked out for the benefit of the
southern StdteS. anC DSileVe llldl the
vote from the northern states viii de-
feat the democrats in the next ma
tional campaign.
"An instance of this dissatisfaction
IL found IN New Jersey. the center OF
the manufacturing industry Of the east
A democratic congress sman from Pat
terson. n. J.. died. A republican was
elected as his successor. defeating the
democratic candidate by 5000 votes"
The Illinois Traction Company is not
planning any interurbans in Iowa in the
immediate future, Mr.. Mckinley said
He said that the state is not yet suffi-
ciently settled to permit interurban
lines to be operated al a profit.
I'VE have no definite plans for in
terurban improvements in Iowa. said
Mr.. Mckinley. "1nterurbans must have
as their terminals large cities in order
10 get sufficient traffic to make them
pay dividends. Iowa Will be a grea;
state for irterurbans. however. wher
the state gets more fully settled"
