DIXIE SENATORS WHO BACKED AL FACETROUBLE Texas Drys Start Move to Oust Sheppard From Seat. BV C. J. LILLEY WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—The once solid south is facing a day of political reckoning and no one knows it better than the southern congressmen who supported Governor A1 Smith either before or after his nomination. The Hoover landslide which swept the Republican nominee into office with the largest vote ever given any candidate, swept some of the Democrats out and may continue sweeping for some years to come. Already opposition is being formed against the re-election of Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas in 1930, because Sheppard took the stump for Smith. This is the same Sheppard who wrote the eighteenth amendment. Women are said to be fomenting discord in Texas against Sheppard and are trying to mass the dry vote against him. The full damage in the south has not yet been determined. In Oklahoma, in Texas, in Alabama, in North Carolina, in Florida—in fact, all through the south —there are many heads fearful of being chopped off in the elections two years from now. Before Tuesday’s election, Democrats of long standing considered their future secure in congress. Now they do not know. Southern senators who must face the voters in 1930, in addition to Sheppard are: Blease, Tyson, Glass, Simmons, Heflin, Robinson, Harris, Ransdell and Harrison. Heflin and Simmons are the only ones who failed to support Smith and they are uneasy for another reason. Heflin, under the Alabama law, may have to run as an independent to get on the ballot in his state and he may be punished for bolting the party. Glass saw Virginia go for Smith and he may have. to build many, political fences in the next two years to save himself. Tyson's military record and the influence of Senator McKellar may save him in Tennessee, but there are many who believe a strong Republican candidate can defeat him. The southern congressmen will not be defeated two years hence by Republican opponents, according to the viewpoint here. They will be defeated in the primaries by men of their own party.
