The New, New Guard of the GOP.

Memphis, which was once the power center in Tennessee politics may become a new power center but this time it will be of Republican politics. Republican votes have been largely concentrated in east Tennessee and, as far as state-wide influence was concerned, they were negligible. Now, with the development of the Republican Party in urban centers in the South, an examination of the rejuvenation, as some might call it, or at least the new management of Memphis Republican politics, should be rewarding.
