Georgia Republicans Active.
AS for the Republicans, COP
leaders in Georgia actually. are
around to warning against over
confidence. In Virginia, Florida,
North Carolina and Tennessee, the
Republicans are fighting hard for
victory. The four States voted for
Herbert Hoover in 1928. Tennessee
has gone Republican twice-1920
and 1928.
What really pains both factions
Of Democrats, though, is the fact
that the Republicans feel confident
enough to make strong bids for
congressional posts.
In Tennessee former Representa-
tive Carroll Reece is battling hard
against Representative Estes Kefau-
yer In the Senate race.
Stevenson Backs COP.
Texas former Gov. Coke Steven
son, who lost the Democratic nomi-
nation for the Senate by 81 votes.
has thrown his massive support be-
hind Jack Porter. Republican can
didate.
Kentuckians are witnessing a Bit
ter campaign between Virgil Chap
man, Democrat, and incumbent
Senator Cooper, a Republican. La
Dor bitterly opposed the Democratic
nomination of Mr.. Chapman and
for the most part has thrown its
weight to Senator Cooper.
Senator Robertson, Virginia Demo-
crat, is expecting little opposition,
but in three of the nine congress
sional districts. the Republicans are
given excellent changes of winning.
These districts went Republican in
1925.
Three incumbent Democratic re-
presentatives in North Carolina also
are being given a run for their
money by Republicans.

Southern Democrats
Revolt May Affect
Party for Years

ATLANTA, Nov. 1.-Southerner.
tomorrow will determine in goot
measure the fate of the Democratic
Party, perhaps for years to come.
Long the backbone and cohesive
force of the party, the South pro.
tested it simply could not support
President Truman and his civi
rights proposals. So the solidly
Democratic South cracked for the
second time.
Many observers believe the result
will be a major realignment OF
party members; that many who
have voted Democratic by tradition
while thinking Republican, will now
shift their allegiance.
Even President Truman appar-
emily has become reconciled to the
hard political fact that for 1948
the party cannot count on the whole
South.
Harlem Speech Hurt.
For while 1t appeared the Pres
ident might try to WOO the South
back into the party. Certainly he
spoke softly last October 10 in Ra-
leigh, N. c.. when he advised
against passion and prejudice" at
the polls.
But then, just as the faithful were
beginning to work openly for him,
he addressed a group in predom-
inantly Negro Harlem, saying,
Our determination to attain the
goal of equal rights *' must be
resolute. - I intend to keep NOV
ing toward this goal"
His words spurred the States
Rights Democrats, the Southerners
who broke away for the express
purpose of engineering his defeat.
They now claim 100 electoral college
votes for their candidate, Gov. j.
Strom Thurmond of South Caro-
lima.
Republicans Press Advantage.
The Republicans in the South
have taken full advantage of the
situation, even to the point of
claiming they will carry the region
1or Gov. Dewey.
The Progressives even have made
a few shouts heard, though mostly
in pain as they fought to get on
the ballots. Little has been heard
from the camps Of the Prohibition
lists, the Socialists or Socialist
Labor groups.
Where once there were only two
parties, the Democrats and Repub-
licans, there are now four on the
ballots in every Southern State, five
in some, six in Virginia and seven
in Kentucky.
Strength in Four States.
The real strength of the States
Fighters apparently is concentrated
in South Carolina, Mississippi, LOU
isiana and Alabama. These States
have a total of SO electoral votes.
One high placed States Fighter,
an unofficial appraisal, gives
the group a good chance of carrying
Tennessee and Florida, which cast
20 electoral votes.
The Tennessee situation is un-
usual. Two of the candidates for
elector appear on both the States
Rights and Democratic ticket, so
even If MIR. Truman wins he could
receive only 10 of the States IL
votes. :
A third Democratic candidate re-
signed, saying he personally would
vote for Gov. Thurmond. His &C
