file man I refer to is Hon.

jponse of all loyal Georgains,
the state press and the press of
the south, as they all recognize
his fitness and great work in the
itate primary for his friend and
ichool mate, Governor Woodrow
Wilson.
If Mr. Stovall’s loyal friends
will ask it, Georgia will have a
man in the cabinet that will not
a peer, matters not who the
other me nbers may be.
Yours truly,
J. M. Scott.
The Search Light heartily en
dorses every word said by Mr.
Scott. Mr. Stovall is one of the
Wrongest Democrats in the
country and is numbered among
the party’s strongest leaders in
Georgia and the South.
The editor of the Search Light
►is glad he stood side by side
with Mr. Stovall in the Georgia
primary fight for Governor
Wilson when the name of that
great man was being so bitterly
assailed. It was easy for one to
vote for Wilson Tuesday. He
was the party’s nominee. But
Mr. Stovall was just as loyal for
him in the primary as he was in
the generel election.
Every Democrat in Georgia
should second the nomination of
Mr, Scott
The Georgia Pie Counter.
Now that the truly loyal have
dented their derbies with tossing
them in the air, now that the
shouting is over and the bets
paid, those valiant captains who
helped carry the banner of Wood-
row Wilson to victory are pausing
today to consider the most mom
entous question which Southern
Democracy has faced in exactly
twenty years:
“What do I get?”
There is a large and juicy Die
to cut and distribute, even if the
civil service rules did lock up the
side dishes several terms ago.
In Georgia alone the new admin
istration has about 100 presiden
tial postoffices, two district attor
neyships, one job as Collector Of
internal revenue, probably one
district judgeship and several
score of minor places to give
those faithful ones who gave
freely of time, gasoline and. ora
tory to the cause. And the
word has gone forth from
Seagirt that in Georgia old fac
tional lines are to be forgotten
in cutting the melon, and that
The Lyceum Course.
Believing that there are a great
many of the people of Bainbridge
who wish a series of high class
entertainments-sometbing that
is instructive, entertaining, and
elevating a series of four splen
did Lyceum attractions have been
looked for this season. It is now
for the people of this city to
show wheather they want some
thing that is worth while or not.
In this series of attractions
there will be nothing that will
shock the modesty of anyone.
There will be none of the usual
“stage profanity.” There will
be no impressions made on young
minds that should not be made.
The four attractions engaged
are among the best and costliest
sent out by the Alkahest Bureau,.
and the people of Bainbridge
are assured that nothing better
will come to the city this year.
The course will consist as

Compile Victory for the Democratic Candidates Who Swept the

gave indications that the electo

dates would pass the 300 mark.
The size of the popular major

ticket or the state outside of
Illinois that might give electoral
votes to either Taft or Roosevelt
were matters of conjecture at
midnight. It was certain, how

“A great cause has triumphed.
Every Democrat and every true
progressive, of whatever alliance
must now lend his full force and
enthusiasm to the fulfillment of
the people’s hope, the establish
ment of the people's right, so
that justice and progress may go
hand in hand.”
This was Gov. Wilson's first
utterance of a public character
after his acceptance of the re
port that he had been elected.

Someone asked ,the President**

“I have given no thought to
such matters as yet,” was the
reply. "I’m not on a hair trig

Gov. Wilson told a stream of
visitors today that he could not
“quite believe that it was true. ”
“It has not quite dawned on
me,” said the governor. “I’ve
been in an impersonal atmosphere
for the last three months reading
about myself, reading that I was
to be elected and now I scarcely
can believe it’s true ”
