SOUTH STILL 15 WITH DEMOCRATS Bat Not Without Fight, Press| Survey Indicates By THOMAS L. STOKES (Copyright 1928 by Umited Press) The consensus of opinion of im- portant southern political leaders 2nd editors of papers throughout the south, as gathered by the United Press, is that Governor Alfred E. Smith will carry the southern states, but that the Republican threat there makes some active missionary work recessary. Here and there, it is admitted. such as in Tennessee there are indi- cations of close contests. Leaders eay, however, that accentuation of certain local issues, such as revela- tions tending to discredit some negro Republican leaders, will carry the Smith-Robinson ticket to victory in that section. The Anti-Smith element NEW BRITA tary of commerce distributing a few | negro workers among the white per- sonnel in the census bureau at Washington after he had received protest ugainst “segregation,” which « forbidden in government depart- uients, has been used already and will be used more in the campaign i the south. A significant and enlightening view of the situation was given the United Press by Harry Ayers, editor of the Anniston, Al ar, and a politi- cal leader in Alabama. Ayers said: “It is a well known fact in Ala- bama that the writer as a member of the plattorm committee of the convention at Houston and publisher of the Anniston Star, did everything in his power to prevent the nomina- tion of Governor Smith “However, the Star believes that the interests of this section of the |country will be best served by a change in party rule and according- ly will support Governor Smith in |spite of our difference with him on the yuestion of prohibition. “But for Mr. Hoove the racial issue in the campaign and but for the Anti-Lynch law plank in |the Republican platform, it is be- lieved that Mr. Hoover could secure a much larger vote in the south than imection of | and because if he ever had an opin- ion about prohibition and its en- | torcement nobody ever knew it un- til he became a candidate for the presidency. 1t will be hard to in- duce prohibitionists to be enthusi- astic for a man who has shown no interest in a cause that is very dear to them. “There are two moral issues in this | campaign. One is whether the party | guilty of the crimes of Teapot Dome and other naval oil rescrves, cor- rupting the ballot, buying senatorial | togas and stealing what belong to |the veterans and aliens shall be for- {given their offenses. “And the other is the prohibition question. 1 believe that the con- Isclences of most of the dry demo- | crats in the south in the dilemma |that contronts them will not per- mit them to vote for Hoover be- cause to do so would be to condone |the policy of favoritism and graft, one or bot hof which has character- ized both the Harding and Coolidge administrations; nor to approve | Smith's stand on prohibition. | “The attitude of most dry demo- ! lcrats, 1 think, is that they will| | mobilize themselves to insure the | | election of dry democrats to con- rangements for Burial of Once Prominent Song Writer.
