The Pnrtv Must ItecogniKo the South
j From points of tiew the breaking
of the "solid souTh" by Tennessee
may be of some benefit to the demo
cratic party. For sixty years I'kj
'south has gone to the ballot box and
voted for tji'e democratic nominee.
It made little difference, whe.her he
were from Nebraska or New Jersey
New York or Ohio, the south cas' .is
ballot for him.
i And, because of the dependability
of the vote of the soutih, it was
never consulted in the party councils
to any extent. It never had a hand
in naming the democratic standard
bearer. "Expediency" one tinie dic-
j tated that an attempt be made to win
'the western vote, the fiext time the
; New York vote and so on. The vote
Of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and
the other "solid" southern states was
not considered. It wasn't necessaiy.
With what result? A party al
most bankrupt because of "expedien
cy!" The section depended on for a
I solid vote shpwing signs of disinte
gration under republican assaults!
: The greatest defeat of sixty yi ara.
The 1920 election in the south
should show the national leaders of
the democratic party that the south
111 entitled to substancial recognition
in panty councils, and should have a
.large hand in naming the presidential
candidate in 1924. Even in 1920,
how much wiser it would fu-.ve been I
, if Gen. Lawrence I). Tyson had been
! chosen vjce-presidential candidate in
I place of Roosevelt, of New York.
