publican sentiment In Mississippi is
crystallizing for Hoover for President.
according to information from over the

the reform element of the Democratic
party in this State to Gov. Smith. Re
publicans are expecting the strongest
vote during the presidential race ever
recorded since the reconstruction days.
Because of Hoover'S popularity I'm MIS-
Sissippi. due to his personal visits and
his activity in flood relief. it is believed
he will carry the greatest vote OF any
Republican. Lowden is second in scnti-
ment here because of his visits
1t is probable that the Republican
leaders will heed the sentiment for
Hoover, although bitter factional fight
may develop over control of the dclcga-
ton. The fight will hardly be over
Hoover, but over the personnel OF the
leadership
Despite open opposition to Smith. he
is showing a slight gain in popularity.
No outstanding candidate other than
Smith is being discussed by the Demo-
Gratis 1t Is expected that Mississippi
Democrats will have a sharp fight for
the State committee. but those who
favor an uninstructed delegation will
win out. 1t is probable that this dele
