THE “SOLID SOUTH" GOES DEMOCRATIC

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 6.—-Nine southern states east of the Mississippi river, normally Democratic with the exception of two districts in Tennessee and one in Virginia, returned their usual Democratic majorities. All Democratic senators were elected and to the house seventy-six Democrats and three Republicans were returned. The three Republican representatives come from the First and Second Tennessee districts and the Ninth Virginia district, where Representative Slemp had no opposition.
