Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 8. Bvery- thing in the south looks good for the Democrats now. Two weeks ago the RepublQan leaders were ac tually hopeful of three southern states, but there is no reason for any such feeling to-day. North Carolina, Tennessee and Louisiana, claimed by Will H. Hays and Others of his or ganization, are safe for Cox by large majorities. Many cotton people, speculators and others, are hit and hit hard dn account of the drop in. prices and some of them are "beef ing" around about what they will do to the Democratic party but there is no real danger from that source. ; They indulge in that sort of talk j every four years. . Senator Harding has made it easier for business Dem ocrats to stay in line. He has not made a single appeal that touched either theiheart or the head of any well-balanced, well-formed Demo crat. His .record is one of "flip flopping." His attitude on impor tant . questions "is not clear. The final flop of Senator Harding on the North Carolina and Louisiana. It was predicted here to-day by Sen ator MCKellar and other leading Democrats that Cox would . carry Tennessee by at least 54),000 over but the action of Harding and the appearance of Cox at iNashville last night have done much to heal the Democratic differences and improve conditions for the Democrats in the state.

Governor Roberts and Mr. Welch on tbe state ticket will not fall far behind Governor Cox. Senator Harding's repudiation of the league with the Lodge reserva tions, for which he voted some 70 times in the senate, will jnevitably j injure him in every state in the union. He has at last definitely joined Senators Borah and: Johnson and repudiated the leadership of Senator Lodge. Of eourse, attempts i wl11 De made to disguise the facts. but obviously, under strong pressure . brought to bear upon him by Sen- ! ator Borah, he had capitulated to the Borah and Johnson ibitter-enI faction.
