Hall Sees Boost For Republicans In Deep South
Republican National Chairman Leonard Hall told a fund raising dinner in Atlanta that the South is turning Republican while Adlai Stevenson claims Florida will stay Democratic. Stevenson, visiting Oklahoma City for the Young Democrats, disputes Hall and endorses a bold campaign. Michigan Gov. G. Mennen Williams also spoke, denying any personal split with Stevenson and criticizing farm policy. Williams backed a progressive domestic theme and both men pressed issues with farmers and small businesses. Hall predicted the South could yield 10 to 15 more GOP congressional seats by 1954.
