Next Congress To
Be Republican,
Hays Predicts
National Chairman, After
Tour, Asserts West Is Solid
for War to Victory

Will H. Hays. chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, who is
here after a tour OF sixteen Western
states, said yesterday that he had
found the West solid for successful
prosecution of the war, and that re-
ports received by the committee in
charge of the 1918 Congressional cam
paign indicated that the next Congress
would be Republican by safe jor-
ity.
"The Republican party" said the
national chairman, Islands for three
things:
-. 81. To win the war.
"2. Peace by victory, and never a
peace by compromise or bargaining.
"3. For sane preparedness now
for the great problems of reconstruc-
ton"
Country Should Prepare Now
Celebrating on the last, the Repub-
lican National Chairman said that the
problems would be gigantic and that
preparation should be immediate.
owe must have forward stepping
as we'll as a forwardlooking pro-
gramme for labor, for the farmer and
for business" said Mr.. Hays.
Referring to his trip, which extended
from Denver to Seattle and then down
as far as Albuquerque, FL Paso and
Salt Lake City, he said that any one
who thought the West wasn't united
for the war would have his ideas on
the question set right by visiting any
Western locality.
"The people of the West to a man
are for the war, because they know
it is eternally right and that the futt
ure Of humanity rests upon the out
come" he continued. "There is no
politics in this war, and there will be
no politics of any kind that will in any
way touch the war"
Predicts Republican Congress
Mr.. Hays said that reports received
by the Congressional campaign COM
mittee showed that the lineup in the
next Congress would be far nearer the
lineup of 1912 than that of 1915
"The country is Republican," said
Mr.. Hays. "The Democrats hold the
balance of power because the Republi-
can party was divided. The party now
is united-everywhere The next Con-
gress will be safely Republican"
Mr.. Hays on Tuesday will go to
Washington to confer with national
leaders of the party. While here he
will talk over the New York situation
with Governor Whitman and other
prominent Republicans.
