"Make it Unanimous"
National Chairman Raskob received from one W. H. Ridgeway, of San Antonio, Tex., an "appeal to your spirit of sportsmanship.'' Mr. Ridgeway thought that Nominee Hoover was going to carry "every State in the Union except Louisiana, Mississippi. Georgia and South Carolina" (The Literary Digest's straw vote predicted that Nominee Hoover would carry Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina). He asked Mr. Raskob to get these States to ''fall in line" and "make it unanimous."
