For the purpose of the series he has avoided the views of Democratic politicians whose ideas concerning the existing^party situa tion are .governed largely by self-in terest. The attempt has been made accurately to “sense” the actual con ditions as they appear to the minds of a large number of voters of widely diverse opinions and localities.

Any forecast on the 1928 presiden tial campaign uttered two years in ad vance must necessarily smack of a certain degree of dogmatism. If it is assumed that Coolidge will be the Re publican nomineee and Governor Smith the democratic nominee, and if. we assume that present conditions will also prevail in 1928, a conservative es timate of the lineup of the “Solid South” — including Maryland, Ken tucky, Oklahoma and Missouri as bor der states—would be somewhat as follows: Smith Virginia. South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis iana, Texas, Arkansas. Coolidge Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri. Doubtful Maryland, North Carolina. Exception will be taken to this list as compiled by many who believe that Smith would lose most of the South ern states. There are some who as sert with positive assurance that Vir ginia and Florida are certain to go into the anti-Smith column if the is sue should arise. But, taking into consideration the past performances of the electorate of the Southern states and surveying the character and calibre of the leaders of the Re publican organization in each of those states, the aforesaid division at this time seems both fair and safe. publicans in very recent years, would he pertain to go Republican should Smith be nominated. But such per sons should remember that Florida has also in late years become the j home of many thousands of Southern Democrats from such states as Geor gia and A&bama, and that their votes will no doubt offset the votes of the northern Republicans. The Repub lican organization in Florida, however, is increasing in prestige, and Gover nor Smith might have a close call. Arkansas in 1924 cast 84,000 votes for Davis and 40,000 for Coolidge. A change of less than 25,000 votes ^ would affected the result; but with such a weak organization as the Re- ' publicans have in that state it is doubtful that such a change is pos sible. South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi are so overwhelmingly Democratic that they*. would seem safely in the Smith column. Here the calibre of the Republican organiza tions is hot up to standard and the* Democratic nominee, whoever he is, seems a sure winner. Louisiana and Texas would present a little harder problem for the Smith forces; but the large Democratic lead in those states would make it a diffi cult job to swing them into the Re publican column In Texas the fall ing off in the Democratic vote would be pronounced, but scarcely enough to change its political allegiance. The one Southern state which seems more certain for Smith than any oth er is South Carolina, and the reason for this is not because of any pro- Smith sentiment, but because of the character of the Republican organi zation. In 1924 Davis got _49,000 votes and Coolidge 1,123. That tells the whole story about South Carblina. In this forecast it should be observ ed that Smith gets most, if not all, of the “breaks.” He cannot reasonably expect more, and he might easily ob tain less. He cannot, in fact, afford to take very much for granted in the “Solid South.” CHICKS / Healthy, Strong, Purebred COTTON did not pay but CHICKS will. Get our catalog. 3000 chicks a week.
