REPUBLICAN VICTORY DUE
General Triumph at Next Elec-
ton. Prediction of Calder.

A Republican majority in the House
Of Representatives in the next Con
gress. Republican Governor and
Legislature in this state, was pre-
dictcd by Representative William NJ.
Calder in an address before the Re
publican Club Of the 2Sth Assembly
District. 1853 East 10th ST., last night.
"Thc Democratic theory Of the tariff
is wholly wrong" he said. "lf we put
this country on a free trade basis we
will reduce the American standard OF
living 20 that of the European. In the
first wear Of their tariff law we have
lost our foreign market and we have
given part Of our home market 10
Europe"
The Wilson administration. he SAID,
insured Republican control of the
next Congress.
Speaking Of the political affairs in
this state, he said:
"Thc people will elect Republican
Governor and a Republican Legislature
here. Governor Dix was not renoml-
mated because he did what Charles r.
Murphy and that crowd told him to DO
and the people. knowing what he mad
done. would not have reelected HIM.
Governor Glynn has also done what
they told him, and they Will not dare
rcnominate him"

club presided.

Aarorson & Ruttenberg, pawnbrokers
and diamond merchants in Montreal,
who would pay for the goods. This
purchase and shipment would be in
the regular way. so far as the Dutch
exporters were concerned. and the
goods. not dutiable in Canada, would
be put through the customs in the
