Atlanta, Ga., Nor. 5—AUaat7*^H
Fulton county didn’t snuggle up to
Colonel John Temple Grave* and
the head of his ticket so a# you
would notice. Aa a matter of fact
the people where the eloquent colo
nel has written soaring editorials I
and spoken liquid and eloquent I
In the 115 coun
ties heard from Bryan's majority is
about 8,000.
Indications are the total rote will
hardly go over 125,000 and that Bry
an’s majority will be 10,000 to 12,000,
as against a majority of 36,000 for
Parker in 1904.
Out of those beard from, Mr. Taft
has carried nineteen Georgia coun
ties and probably others. The coun-
him but one solitary vote. Colonel
Graves’ venerable father still re
sides in College Park, and be prob
ably cast the lone ballot for his son.
Even Fulton oounty could only mus
ter 37 people willing to enlist under
the Independence banner, that tick
et tailing all the rest. Bren peba
ran ahead of it It le doubtful If the
Independence ticket polled more than
a thousand votes In the state. Ab o'ut
five thousand votes were divided
among Hlsgen, Chafln and Debs. Bry
an received about 80,000, Taft. about
30,000, and Watfnh 20.000.
The Republicans hen are dellgUed
with the. line vote Taft received.
While Bryan Carried Fulton by about
1,500, Taft carried the flirt and fourth
wards In the city by small ntUoritles.
Taft seems to have carried Chatbng&

^.^TLooU Republican leaders express
^ themselves a-4 well pleased jftth the
result Tn' Georgfa. Co*f: R. J. ivowr'r
of the Lowry National Bank, who
headed the Taft electoral ticket and
who is already being prominently
mentioned editorially and otherwise
as a prospective member of the new
President’s cabinet, said that he was
much pleased with the showing made
by the Republicans in Georgia. He
declared that Mr. Taft’s vote in Ful
ton and throughout the state would
have been much larger had It not
been for the heavy rains which pro-
vailed. Henry S. Jackson, president
of the Fulton County Taft Club, made
a similar statement. v
While the Republicans are saying
nothing about it, the big Republican
vote In the state is taken to meaa
that ‘ a Republican state ticket will
he put out in Georgia in 1910, and <
there is considerable talk along that
line.
Republican Committee’s Statement, i
Macon, Nov. 5—The Georgia Re- i
publican Campaign Committee yes- 1
terday gave out the following: t
"Indications now point to a Bryan t
majority of 0,000 or less. The state (

the greatest victory of campaign, as
' the light was made without ouUide c
aid of money or speakers and with a

Republicans here say that Colonel
Robert Lowry, president of the Low-1
ry National bank here, will probably i
be offered the position of secretary
of treasury under Taft. They con-1
(end that the good showing made by
the party in the South entitles It to
some consideration.

that some location must be fountl for
them. To scatter them broadcast
over the city would have a worse ef
fect than even the present location
In the heart of the city. Whenever
a proposition Is made to -remove thefP
to any other section of town, people
living there Immediately raise stren
uous objection. Altogether It Is a
problem of considerable magnitude,
but that It will be ultimately settled
satisfactorily every one believes.
