In the coming Congressional elections, the impending severe chastisement of the Republican Party will come chiefly because of the general depression, the lack of employment, the low price of grain, the denial of any real relief to the farmer through tariff revision and other economic reasons. Prohibition may enter here and there, as in the State of Massachusetts, where the proposal to repeal the State Enforcement law will be overwhelmingly carried next fall. But by and large it not beer that is going to decide whether the Republicans or Democrats shall control the next U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. It is the general economic status of the country which will count.
