SOUTH REMAINS SOLID IN STAND AGAINSTSMITH Roosevelt Most Popular in Dixie as Renegade States Come to Fold. Th* "solid south." spectacular battle cround of the last presidential election where lour states broke with tradition io suonort Herbert Hoover rather than Allred E. Smith, today is annraisinr the candidacies of many men mentioned for the Democratic presidential nomination. The followinr discusses the indicated nreronvention reaction to the candidates. BY FOSTER EATON ini ted Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1932. bv United p resjsi ATLANTA. Ga„ Feb. 16.—Virtually every Democrat mentioned thus far as a possible presidential standard bearer, and every issue as well, figures today in the south, but Dixie appears agreed only on one tiling—that it is violently opposed to former Governor Alfred E. Smith. Widely gathered newspaper editorial opinion, and expressions of sentiment from recognized political leaders, indicate that Dixie today is as “anti-Smith” as it was in 1928. if not more so. The strongest political fences in the south appear to be in Georgia. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, part-time resident, has the formal backing of Major John S. Cohen, Democratic national committeman, and of almost county-by-county “Roosevelt - for - President” clubs. Leaders consider Roosevelt a prohibitive favorite in Georgia, where Smith polled 129,602 to 63,495 for Hoover in 1928. North Carolina Split The Democratic executive committee of the First Florida congressional district formally indorsed the Roosevelt candidacy and urged a southern man for vice-president. Hoover carried Florida, 144,168 to 101,764. Up in North Carolina, which followed Hoover and the late United States Senator Furnifold M. Simmons, Democrat, into the G. O. P. fold for the first time in years, Josephus Daniels, war-time secretary of the navy and a political power, has indorsed Roosevelt publicly. Daniels also has said prohibition should not form the basis of the campaign, despite his strong pro-prohibition views. There is some North Carolina sentiment in favor of Newton D. Baker, co-cabinet member with Daniels and for former Governor Harry Flood Bryd of Virginia. Speaker of the house John N. Garner of Texas, likewise, has some Tarheel support. Louisiana Anti-Rooscvclt Virginia’s general assembly unanimously indorsed Byrd in January. Byrd has declined to commit himself. Fifty-seven out of sixty-seven counties in Alabama have been organized with “Roosevelt-for-Presi-dent” clubs. No Smith organization has appeared. The Montgomery Advertiser, which supported Smith in 1928, has indorsed Roosevelt publicly, as have several weekly papers. Other large dailies have not yet announced. The Heflin-led Democratic group is as violently antiSmith as ever. "Nobody is supporting Roosevelt out this way, and it is unlikely that he will get the support of the Lou -i isiana delegation.” United States Senator Huey P. Long said. Senator Long believes a man of the type of Speaker Garner, or Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas, would be acceptable. He also said he believed Smith today would outvote Roosevelt ten to one in Louisiana. Congressman Ed H. Crump, West Tennessee Democratic boss, has indorsed Roosevelt. Frank Rice, member of the central committee and a Crump lieutenant, said “the rank and file of democracy in Tennessee” were for the New York Governor. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland has been indorsed by the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. Other sentiment in South Carolina appears to favor Baker, and some Roosevelt. Governor (Alfalfa Bill) Murray of Oklahoma made a favorable Impression in an address before the general assembly of South Carolina. Mississippi, according to an influential member of the state administration, “leans to Roosevelt.” The Jackson Daily News has indorsed the New York Governor strongly. KILLER MAY GO FREE Coroner Intimates Muncie Woman Will Be Cleared. By United Press MUNCIE, Ind., Feb. 16.—Likelihood that a verdict of justifiable homicide will be returned in the case of Mrs. Harry Lyle, arrested, following the fatal shooting of her husband and Arnold Johnson, was intimated by Coroner C. G. Piepho today. Regardless of the verdict, Piepho said, a grand jury investigation will be recommended, Mrs. Lyle, police reported, said she killed Johnson after he shot her husband. The shooting followed in argument over a kitten owned by the Lyle family. Mrs. Lyle said. C IGHT MATERNITY^LAW tate Doctbr Oppose Renewal of Sheppard-Towner Act.

Gabriel’s Horn Calls Actor in That Role

feW. t.

Samuel B. Davis as Gabriel ‘Green Pastures’ Player Is Stricken Here With Heart Attack. The horn of Gabrirt blew’ Monday in Indianapolis for the man who was “Gabriel.” It blew for Samuel B. Davis, 52, Negro actor, who portrayed the part of the angel, Gabriel, in “Green Pastures.” Davis died of heart disease at St. Francis hospital, Beech Grove, while another “Garbiel” in the stage play was being admonished from time to time in the Grand theater, Cincinnati, not to sound the Judgment day horn. Became 111 Here When “Green Pastures” came to Indianapolis, Davis—the second “Gabriel” to die in the two-year run of the production—became ill. But, despite his illness, Davis insisted upon playing the role during the week’s engagement here. Then “Green Pastures” moved to anew stand and when they left, Davis was in the hospital and anew Gabriel, Dode Green, took his angel wings and the big brass horn upon the stage. Funeral services for the dead actor will be held in New York. Born in Atlanta, Ga., Davis became an actor thirty-five years ago. He played with Richard Bennett in ‘The People.” Killed by Taxicab Davis became the “Gabriel” of Green Pastures when Wesley Hill, the production’s first angel of judgment, was run down and killed by a taxicab. Despite the death of two “Gabriels” in the cast of “Green Pastures,” the players, according to news reports trom Cincinanti, attach no superstitious meaning to the role. They are thankful that there only have been two deaths in the company in the two-year run. Davis is survived by the widow. Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, and a sister, Mrs. Daisy Clark, of Atlanta.
