DEMOCRATIC sEcTIoNALIsM

To the Editor Of the Evening LedOeT
sir-In his speech at Indianapolis on oc-
tober IL President Wilson fercely and dra-
matically proclaimed:
"Any man who revives the issue of sec
tionalism in this country Is unworthy OF
the confidence Of the nation"
There is one party and one man in this
country who benefit so greatly by this most
deplorable system of politics that potn the
man and the party desire that nothing
which relates to II shall be disclosed in
this campaign, and in view Of II consider
II my duty to present these facts;
From the eleven States that seeded from
the Union under the Democratic admin
istration of President Buchanan there are
now twenty-five Democratic Senators and
ninety-nine Democratic members OF Con-
gress and on November next there will
be chosen from these eleven Southern States
1926 Democratic electors. The election OF
these 126 electoral votes will not cost tn
Democratic National Committee one dol
lar, but on the contrary these eleven south
ern States will contribute a very large sum
of money-it may be $500, ,000-for the pur-
pose of defeating Republican Senators, Con-
gressmen and presidential electors In north
ern States
AS against the sectionalism of these
eleven soiidiy Democratic States / know
of only two northern States that can be
classed as solidiy and securely Republican
the States of Vermont and Utah--offsetting
southern sectionalism thus;
Eleven Southern States
Number of Democratic Senator's. 22
Number OF Democratic Congressman. 80
Number OF Democratic electors. 126
Two Northern States
Number of Republican Senators.
Number of Republican Congressman.
Number of Republican electors.
1t is because Of this sectionaiism that the
work OF electing a Democratic President
and Congress becomes 30 comparatively
easy. II is because OF this deplorable sec
tionalism that the work OF electing Re
publican President and Congress becomes
so exceedingly difncult-
IL is because Of the belief that under
the broad, the wise, the generous and
statesman-lilxe administration of President
Hughes that sectionalism will be wholly
obliterated In the interest OF closer. better
and more profitable business relations that
these eleven southern States ought to well
come the election OF Mr.. Hughes. who more
nearly approaches the statesmanship OF
Abraham Lincoln than does any other man
