SOLID SOUTH" IS CLIPPED.
Democratic Leaders stunned by De,
fectIon to Ball Moose.

Democratic leaders from the South
were stunned yesterday by the news
received from the Third Louisiana dis
triCt. where Tuesday the Democratic
Congressional committee went over to
the Bull Moose party in a body.
Louisiana Democrats are out OF tune
with the Wilson administration. and
they are ripe for revolt. The split in
the Third district is expected to ex-
tend throughout the State and may re-
suit in the election of three Progressive
members from Louisiana. The move
ment is anti-Democratic, and is not
necessarily a drift toward the third
party. The Louisiana Democrats, who
find themselves at odds with the ad-
ministration, cannot make an align
ment with the Republicans because Of
the race issue. The Progressive party
is advertised in the South as a white
mans party" and for that reason is
hopeful of gathering in the disaffected
Democratic elements in that section.
