SEES VICTORY
Chairman Hilles Predicts Repub-
Iican Return to Power.
Logical Deduction From the Recent
EIsotlon--EvII Effects Of the New
Tariff VIII Bring Reaction
Against Democracy.

Charles d. Hilles, chairman OF the
Republican national committee. pre-
diets q sweeping Republican victory
in the national election in 1915 for
president. -vicepresident. senate and
house. He says It Is q logical deduc-
ton from this years elections. The
issue in 1916. he says. Is to be the
tariff.
Mr.. Hilles in q prepared statement
said: IAN analysis Of the results OF
the last election shows conclusively
that the Republican party will return
to power in 1915. Not only will Re-
publican president be elected. unless
there is q revulsion Of feeling In the
meantime. but the party will gain
control of both senate and house. It
requires no gift Of prophecy to assert
this; It is a logical deduction from
the recent election.
THE issue in 1914 was the tariff
and every state where the effect OF
the Underwood bill had time to be
felt went Republican. The disastrous
effects of the new tariff has not yet
been fully felt In the great agricul-
tural states OF the West, but even
there the reaction against Democracy
was unmistakable.
THE issue In 1915 will be squarely
on the tariff and on the legislation
OF the Democratic party. The revolt
against Democracy is not confined to
business men. Labor indicated very
clearly In the last election that it
understood that it's own prosperity is
inextricably wound up with the pros
perity Of business. and that unem-
ployment and reduced wages inevita-
bly, follow Democratic tariff tinker
