Solid South May Be Breaking Up Says Senator Pepper
The Associated Press reports Senator Pepper of Mississippi says the Solid South may be breaking up but any shift will be too slow to help Republicans in 1928. He predicts Democrats will carry every Southern state this year, while protests against civil rights could erode solid support in future years. Gov Fielding Wright vows to keep protests alive with a Southern Democrats meeting to punish anti Southern legislation.

Stassen appeals to Minnesotans to back Taft and avoid third party splits.
