All Amendments Probably Carried, v* (Special to Times-Recorder.) Atlanta, Ga.. October 5.—The vote In tbe regular state election today has given no reason for even the most timorous to fear an overthrow of the regular democratic nominees, follow ing this insurrection led by Thomas Watson and the general dlstrlbutlja of tickets bearing the name of Joseph M. Brown at their head. In the various city wards a few votes were cast for Governor Brown, but not ten per cent of the total and from the various counties came telegrams stating that tbe voters were standing by the party nominees. It was early evident that the oppo sition would 1 not carry a precinct the state. The voting was unusually heavy for an uncontested election.. Indications are that the three con stitutional amendments have carried without difficulty. Brown ballots were on hand at all of the city polls, but few were called for and the sAme seems to he true In most of the counties of the state, ac cording to dispatches received here.
