 Washington, Aug. 2s.-The President has passed along the word to South ern Republicans that they must get up and hustle if they would share in distribution Of political pie. It is stated here this evening that, while the Republicans do not expect to pull down any votes for their national tick ct in the south, they are preparing to give the Democrats run for their money in several congressinal dis tricts in that section. President Roosevelt has caused it to be known among members of his party in the Solid South" that ito the workers belong the spells"
 As an indication Of the activities Of the Republican3 in the South, the President yesterday talked with Frank B. Williams. Republican state Chairman of Louisiana. who informed him that the Republicans of his state would make nominations for Congress in every district and would put up the best fight they are capable af Apparently. however. the Louisiana Republicans have not the slightest hope of winning outside the Second and Sixth districts and will expend most of their energy in those districts. The Second is represented by Repre- sentative Dayey, Democrat. and the Sixth is represented by Representative Robertson of Baton Rouge The dis anfranchisement clause in Louisiana made the Democrats so indifferent at the last election that MT. Davey re- ceived total of only 5,014 votes to S6S for the Republican candidate. In the Sixth district the vote was still small Ter being only 2,140 for Robertson and 673 for Herbert Republican.
 In Mississippi the Democrats are alleged to have lost interest in the general election to such an extent that the leaders fear t,>at the Republican candidates for Congress may slip in a few votes if they should get their reg istered vote to the polls. Mississippi Republicans have nominated candid ates for Congress in every district. l and they will make the best fight with l in their power.
 The Virginia Republicans are mak- ing fights in practically all the dis tricts of that State this year and 1 claim to have hopes of carrying the | Third, Ninth and Tenth districts. ] The Ninth district is represented by | Colonel Campbell Slemp. a Republi. can. He was elected over Repre- sentative William F. Rhea by the | slender majority of 21S The dis | trict is close, and a hard fight is to be | made by both parties to retain it. The | Democrats have nominated State Sen ! ator Wysor and the Republicans have i put up Colonel Slemp.
 The Republicans are also to make i fights in North Carolina, South Caro- | lima, Tennessee. Alabama and other | Southern States.
 Just what they hope to realize from this activity is not clear. Ger tainly they do not expect to seriously | affect the various State delegations in Congress. Apparently hope carries them no farther than the possibility of slipping in a candidate for Con SItSS III d fCAL lth dAohAANNS-
 The hope, of course. is based on the small Democratic vote cast at tAe last congress sional election in those dis tricts, but the Democrats here are sure that any difference that may have existed at that time will have disappeared before November. es- pecially in view of the fact that Chair man Cowherd and his committee are closely watching these districts and assisting the local workers in every way.
 At most. therefore. the propose activity of the Republicans in the South will prove no worse than al moving. The Solid South" will De just as substantially Democratic next fan as ever it was-if not more so. The exercise will very likely do the Republicans good in some way-it usually does-but it can hardly result in any material gain for them.
 Chairman Cowherd departed yester- day for Atlantic City accompanied by his family. He is expected in New York tomorrow to discuss important matters with the Democratic leaders One of the things to be settled is the location of the Congregational commit tee headquarters, considerable dis atisfaction having appeared at having the committee in Washington. Good arguments have been advanced on both sides. but there seems to be a feeling that the headquarters will be moved to New York. in closer touch with the National Committee. Mir. Cowherd has not committed himself either way. He is not expected to re- turn to Washington for several days
