The Secretary of Commerce is popular in the State. With no bolt by Senator Heflin and the other anti-Catholics and drys, the Democrats and the Republicans, too, fgure that the State would surely go for Smith. Unless. indeed, Senator Heflin should undertake to lead a crusade for the Republican candidate— and no one yet seriously belleves that such a thing is possible—the State is strongly Democratic.
