DEMOCRATS TO
Be RADICALS,
CREACER SAYS
Predicts Definite Line of
Cleavage in Two Par
ties, With Republicans
Conservative

Prediction that the democratic party
will become the radical party of the
United States, while the republican
party remains the conservative element
in national politics, was made today by
r. b. Creager. who based his predie-
ton on the overwhelming victory OF
the republicans in the election Tuesday
This overwhe Inning defeat Of the
democratic party" Mr.. Creager saici
"means that the radicals and extrem-
lists of the democratic party VIII
come into unquestioned control-thai
the McAdoo's, Bryan's and men who be-
lieve as they do will form the con
trolling element OF the party, after
the conservatives lost in their last des-
perate effort to elect Davis, conser-
vative.
1.-The radicals will blame the con-
servatives for the defeat. Since there
is little difference in the attitude and
opinion on public questions OF the
radicals in the democratic party, ana
in the republican party. foresee as a
logical outcome Of the election, the
democratic party in control of radicals
who will draw in the radicals from the
republican party. and the dt mocratic
party will become the radical party oil
the United States. while the republican
party, which is unquestionably under
the control Of progressive conserva-
tives. will remain the great eonserva-
tive party.
This is an outcome greatly 70 be
desired because it will mark a great
line Of cleavage between the parties
which has not existed for the past 10
or 10 years. Each party has had rad
ical and conservative elements in II.
There have been democrats who favor
ed a protective tariff. and republicans
who were radicals, but tn two ele-
ments will tend to become divided
now. Conservative democrats will no
lnyer be able find home in their
own party. and will go over TO tn re-
publicans, which will be another one Of
the great and healthful results Of the
election.
1.-The overwhe lining victory OF the
republicans shows that the American
people have confidence and trust N
President Coolidge and General Dawes.
shows an overwhelming approval for
protective tariff and an eve. whelmin
sentiment against the United States
joining the League of Nations.
