KNELL IS SOUNDED
FOR SOLID SOUTH
Commissioner Capers De
clares Taft Vote Shows
Tides Turning.

THE large increase In the Republic
can vote IN the South. especially in
North Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia,
and the percentage of white RepubIi-
en- voters in South Carolina means the
turning Of the tide, and sounds the
death knell Of the solid South" said
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Cap
ers, who returned today from his home
in South Carolina, after campaigning
for Taft and Sherman In Maryland and
North Carolina for q fortnight
1T used to be that social 0stracism in
a way was meted out TO any one in the
South who was known to he a Repub-
lican, but. happily, that spirit is dying
cut rapidly" said Commissioner Capers.
and now our people see the folly OF
such narrowness. This is shown by the
votes cast in the Southern States on
Tuesday. Judge Taft received more ma
tive white votes than were ever cast
for a Republican candidate for the Pres
idency. This was due IN a measure 10
the more liberal and tolerant spirit now
prevailing.
"The principal asset Of the Democracy
OF the South has been the negro vote.
| The politicians have known for years
that when the young people Of our sec
tion realized that negro domination in
local affairs did not and wolBd not fol
low the election of a Republican candi-
date for President, the doom OF the
solid South was sealed. And Tuesday 5
| election has sealed the doom The South
/ is rich IN agriculture, minerals. and
manufactures. and there is a strong
I protective tariff sentiment.
This issue viii figure prominently IN
/ the Congressional campaign two years
hence, and nowhere will it make itself
/ felt more pronoUncedly than in the
South. This will be shown in the change
/ IA Congressional delegat Ons. The time
/ has arrived when the South will once
] again occupy the field she did before the
civil war, that Is, there Will be di

& cratic politicians will no longer be able

on the Democratic side some OF the
conspicuous members have been LETT at

Oklahoma looms up with a gain Of
two members fer the Republicans, a
fact highly pleasing TO the Republican
Congressional committee. The Oklahoma
delegation will now be three Republicans
and two Democrats.
The Republicans gained three districts

gains We're more than offset by the

While the returns from scattering dis
