Political observers in Washington claim to see what they call a break in sectional politics in parts of the south, where the Democratic ticket has carried nearly every township since the days of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. But they also observe another break away from the Republican party in the corn belt. This has been freshly emphasized by the Hoover management which opposed allowing the name of their candidate to be used in the Wisconsin primaries. Though Hoover is leading the Republican field on most of the United States he seems to be considerably out of it in large sections of the Corn Belt States.
Now if New England, which has been the dominant manufacturing region of the United States since Colonial days, should become as politically sectional as it is socially aristocratic wouldn't we have a pretty mess in this country.
