SOUTH WITNESSING WARM POLITICS Bllorts to Bring Out Big Yote b i By W. F. CALDWELL (Associated Press Btaff Writer) Atlanta, Sept. 11 UP—For the first time in years the south as a whole has become a battleground in the presidential campaign, ‘The most vigorous effort since reconstruction days is being made by democratic party leaders to in- duce voters to go to the polls in November In support of Gov. Al. fred E. Bmith for president and Sen. Joseph T. Robinson for vice president, Equal endeavor has been put forth by those favoring the repub- lican nominees. States which usually witness little or no campaign for the repyblican ticket, this year see Hoever and Curtis clubs erganized slong state and county lines. In some states, self.styled “anti- Smith democrata” many of whom are opposed to Smith's stand en pro- hibitien, have withdrawn their aup- port from the national ticket and announced their intention to seek the election of a “dry” candidate for president, irrespective of party lines. Some among this group epenly have aligned themselves with republican foroes in the national campaign. Others, however, have emphasized that while they are working for the election of Hoover, they will vote for dry democratic congressional and state candidates. It {8 from the ranks of these that republican leaders hope to increase materially their strength in the south over that of former prealden- tial years. The democratic campaign is be- ing earried to the voter through organizations which reach from state capitals into each county and nelghborhood precinct. This November will mark a de- parture, i present indications prove true, from the perfunctory voting which has made presidential elec- tions heretofore largely a formality in the traditionally “solid” south, Variety of Effort The effort ranges from pleas of party regularity in some states to the invoking of a party rule in South Carolina which requires voters in the state primary to take an oath to sup- port al party nominees, state or n tional, in the general eletcion, This rule, known as Rule 32, became mous in the south this year as a sult of an unsuccessful effort in e state convention for its repeal. ater a minority who did not want te vete for Gov. Smith, unsuccessful- v tried to get the state committee to abrogate it. Newspapers in Virginia have call- ©d attention to the code of their date which they say declares that those whe neglect to vote for party nominees in the general election are ineligible to take part in the next primary. 0 eomment has come from par- ders on this matter, but Chair. Murray Hooker, of the demo- -ratie state committee, said that the lemocrats “will organize from the West Virgiia line to the Atlantic to oring out the vote for Gov. Smith.” A militant party organization in Georgia for the November election s been set up under the chair- manship of John R, Slater, mayor of Douglas. Organizations ha perfected in each county and a cam- paign has gotten under way for Smith and Robinson. The women are cooperating under the leadership of Mrs. Edgar Alexander, nationul com- | mitteewoman.

Steele for the democratic nomination. Upshaw has ‘declared his opposition to Gov. 8mith and has conducted a vigorous speaking cam- vaign, basing his opposition on the ground that he is opposed to Gov. Smith's prohibition modification views. The ehairman of the fifth district democratic committee, W. S8chley man, expressed the opinion that cause of his opposition to Gov. Smith.
