P, southern News Editor) Bestirred by the issues of prohi- bition, religion, white supremacy and party regularity, an aroused south today recorded its choice for president. Gone was the apathy of former years. Nor was it necessary for party leaders to urge voters to turn out. The section from the Potomac to the Rio Grange, with its 114 elec- toral votes, left its traditional side line position of previous presidential years immediately on the nomina- tion of Governor Al 8mith at Hous- ton and the resulting spread of its first real campaign in more than half a century brought voters to the ballot box in unprecedented num- bers. Generally fair, the weather menu for the day, except for probable | showers forecast for Mississippi, | southern Louisiana and parts of | Florida, helped to swell the tide of vote Predictions of victory from demo- cratic leaders were met by equally optimistic claims on the part of re- publicans and apti-Smith managers Texas, the bellwether of the “solid south,” claimed by the democrats by a 200,000 majority.
