Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, November 5, 1952 Eisenhower Took Largest Vote By The Associated Press Dwight Eisenhower’s landslide ride to the presidency in Tuesday's election ripped from the Solid South a larger hunk of votes than any Republican ever won in Dixie. With four states in the bag and two others teetering, Ike already had far more popular votes than any other GOP nominee ever polled although he ran a bit shy of the electoral total won by Her- bert Hoover in 1928. Florida, Oklahoma, Virginia and Texas, with 54 electoral votes, were firmly in his column early today. He was in a hairline struggle for Tennessee’s 11 electoral votes and Louisiana’s 10. The Republi- een choice was about 1,600 up in | ‘ssee this morning, about | down in Louisiana, » other seven states of the ti uitionally Solid South--Alabama, Atkansas. Georgia, Kentucky, Mis- and North and South Caro- | Yna--with 71 electoral votes ap- peared safe for the Democrats’ Adlai Stevenson. Yet in overall popular vote, with many precincts still missing, the general counted four million which was more than twice the total gained by Thomas E. Dewey in 1948--and fewer than 100,000 be- bind the Stevenson total at this Later returns may pull him to more than double the previous Republican high mark in Dixie, set by Hoover in 1928. Hoover polled slightly more than 2% million votes in carrying seven of the Southern states that year. | It was Dixie’s greatest defection | by states. All five states which Eisenhower has or may carry also went for Hoover in '28, In his 1952 assault on the South, Eisenhower probed at the chinks in Democratic solidarity disclosed by the States Rights movement in 1948. But he found few soft spots there and lost at least three of the four states -- Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina -- which had returned States Rights majorities. In rolling up the largest Southern Vote ever registered by a Republi- can, Eisenhower made heavy in- roads in practically all of the states he failed to carry. The outcome was a victory for some old line Democrats, defeat for others. Notable winners were Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas and his Democratic party organization, which bolted to Eisenhower over the tidelands oil issue.
