ROBINSON BOUND
 HOME FDR A REST.
His BOO Niles Of Campaigning
 bohind Him
PARTY SPIRIT IS HIGH
For tho First Time In History Democratic Banner Has Been Carried Into the Solid South Tor Campaign

Robinson Special Car En Route for Little Rock, Ark. Sept. P R0 With more than 5000 miles of cam paixning behind him, Senator Joe Robinson was homeward bound to- day for . brief rest before starting on q second tour. which will take him into practically every state west of the Mississippi river.
 II Prepared Talks
 AS the democratic vice presiden- tial nominee sped onward to Little Rock he looked back over three weeks of intensive work on the stump. In all eight states were visit ed, 14 prepared speeches delivered and dozens of extemporaneous rear platform addresses made.
 For the first time in years the democratic banner had been far- ried into the stronghold of demo- cracy--the solid southland every where the senator found that the party spirit was running high.
 On the trail that began at Dallas and led from there farther west In Texas to Cisco, and thence east to the Atlantic seaboard through Ten pessee and Virginia, Mir. Robinson was greeted by audiences that fill ed the respective auditoriums. The same was true in North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida and last night he wound up in Paducah. Kentucky, before a crowd that near ly overflowed big tobacco ware house in that city.
 In all of the southern states. the nominee heard reports of defections from the democratic camp, of the formation of anti-Smith clubs and of what was described to him as the Hoover democrats" He was as- sured however, by democratic lead CTS in all these states that the de- fections were small and that he could leave confident that there would be no split in the solid south.
 In Tennessee, which went repub- lican for Harding, state democratic leaders advised the senator that more democrats than ever before had voted in the recent primary and that a united party was prepared o march to the polls in November.
 simmons vs. smith
 Again. in North Csreaina where Senator Simmons, long power in democratic ranks in that state has declared against Governor Smith. local leaders insisted that they had the situation in hand and told the vice presidential nominee that the state, as usual, would be found in the democratic column. Returning northward .from the heart of the southland, the senator found the democrats in Kentucky organized for a heated fight for the control of the state which because of it's border position long has been looked upon as a battle-ground. MT. Rob- inson was delayed a day in opening his drive in Kentucky as a result of

SOUTH DEFINITELY IN CAMPAIGN NOW
Weekly A. P. Survey Shows
 Democratic Collections
TEXANS INVITE HOOVER
Democrats Assure Republican Of Votes Should He But Make One Speech There-BOth Parties Bank ing On WliirlWind Finish.

Dallas. Tex. Sept. P R,-The political campaign has advanced from the period of organization into the period of major action, with east and west echoing to the pass ing by of the presidential nominees, and with the south definitely taking her place, as many predicted she would not in the front line of battle.
 Texans Wants Hoover
 While Governor Smith was stump ing through the farm belt and the southwest this week. Mir. Hoover re- turned from his sally into the east to find group of Texans awaiting him in Washington. Most of them were experienced democratic poli- ticians. They seriously presented to him the remarka ble proposition that if he would make but single speech in Texas this Gibraltar of the democracy might be shaken to it's foundations.
 Such talk about the south was not unexpected in tho first emotional aftermath of Smiths nomination at Houston. At that stage of the cam- paign scarcely single national leader of either party took predic- tions of warmly-deba south very seriously. Now. toward the end of September, these earnestly-pro- nounced forecasts have a somewhat different ring. Although many on both sides still discount them, they evidence the persistence and the thoroughness with which Smiths enemies in his own party have per- fected their organization from one end of Dixie to the other.

SAN BEN1To, July IL. - How
many cotton pickers work in the
fields Of the lower Rio Grande VAL
ley during the cotton picking sea-
son?
Apparently little attention has
previously been paid to this qGes-
ton. Several cotton men when
asked about il, were not willing to
make a guess.
So III. P. Boyd. the cotton prog
%nosticator, ana recognized rs a spe-
cialist in cotton. was asked about the
number of pickers.
And Mr.. Boyd started figuring.
The Valley gins around 100000 bales
Of cotton in a season, or probably
will gin that amount this rear. This
total Is picked in about sixty days,
this season from July Is, to Sep
TENDER Is, the majority OF 1t will
be in.
Then for convenience he took an
estimate of 10000 cotton pickers,
