H|LLES AND BUTLER
DIFFER OVER 1928
Former Sees G. O. P. Victory;
Latter Says Wet Strength
May Beat Party.
By the Associated Press.

ny tHe Associated fTeSs.
NEW YORK, February 2S.-Con-
f1icting analyses of national sentiment
on the 1928 presidential election came
today from Charles ID. Hilles, vice
chairman of the Republican national
committee, and President Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia Uni
versity.
Mr.. Hilles is now on tour of the
West studying the political situation.
DIR. Butler has returned from a speak
ing tour of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Mr.. Hilles' prediction of "a sweep
ing victory for the Republican party
in New York State and the Nation in
1925" on the basis of the prosperity
of the last six years, was met by DIR.
Buffers statement that the farmers
of the Middle West are preparing to
vote the Democratic ticket Ito pun
ish President Coolidge for vetoing the
McNary- -Haugen act"
Sees Wet Sentiment.
DIR. Butler sees in the Middle West
"a tremendous sentiment for repeal
of the prohibition amendment" and
great opposition to a third presi
Dental term
''Those whom / saw and addressed
indicated as strong hostility to a
third presidential term as they did to
the Federal prohibition law" DR..
Butler said.
Gov. Smith of New York, DR.. Butler
~ fo hn tnn "a
strongest but pretty nearly the only"
presidential possibility in the Demo
cratic party. Il heard some talk of
Gov. Ritchie and some of Senator
Reed of Missouri" he said, but
everywhere l found people eager to
know more about Gov. Smith, and
they were kindly disposed toward him.
IF the Democrats name a wet and
the Republicans dry, / fear the Re
publican would be defeated"
Mr.. Hilles, in statement forward
ed to his office here from California.
pointed to bank earnings, savings
bank deposits. transportation figures,
mercantile sales, production in all
lines. prices lower than in 1920 and
full employment" to back his predic-
ton of Republican victory.
Cites Debt Reduction.
He also cited reduction in Govern.
ment expenditures and the public debt
and $3.50 100000 Treasury surplus.
Does it seem reasonable that a
country so we'll governed under Presi-
dent Coolidge would turn from a
party which has made such peaceful
and happy prevalent conditions pos
sible?" Mr.. Hilles asked.
Without mentioning the third term
matter. he said 1.-The Presidents un-
impeachable integrity, his uncommon
common sense and his homely virtues
are even more appreciated now, be-
cause of the result they have helped
to achieve

ment of production in the manufac-
