The coming Presidential election on November 5th, will be the first opportunity in twenty years that the Dem ocrats of the South have had of casting their votes for a strong candidite whose chances of election seems favora ble. In times past in the twenty years they have votec for good men; men whom the country would have been wise in placing in the chair of thr chief executive, but it has been only this year when their Votes will be cast with more than a chance of seeing their candidate selected by the Nation. Not only by the Democrats of the Nation, but even by many of the best informed party men of the opposition, the election of Wilson is predicted, So numerous and. so confident have these predictions become, that Democrats have grown somewhat over-confident; especially in the Southern states where the party is in control. It is not wise, however, for Georgians to rest assured of victory without exerting themselves to make it abso lutely certain as to their share in its result. We should poll a full vote in Georgia for Wilson; more particularly since we have in the campaign the unusual spectacle of thre strong candidates, each making a bid for the votes of the people. While this condition naturally favors Wilson, it is well to remember that in the South there are many who are staunch admirers of the ex-president, and also many who will vote for Taft. In view of this fact, Geor gians should be careful to exercise their right of suffrage on election day, and overwhelm the vote that is certain to be cast for the active opposition. Not that there is any serious danger in Georgia going into the Republican or Progressive column, if Democrets will simply get out,and vote, but it is their duty to vote, and prevent any posibil- ity of any of the Congresional districts of the state going for either Taft or Roosevelt. It would seem that it would be a matter of pride for Georgia to poll a strong Democratic vote at this time, es pecially since the nominee of the party is of southern birth and parentage; and also for the reason that any cit izen of Georgia would be glad to Vote for the man who is successful in securing the office, for the first time in a score of years. We hope that Grady county will roll up a good vote i election day.

Getting Around It. 8.', Washington official was talking about a certain resourceful corpora tion. “They can got round anything,” he said, a touch of admiration in his voice. “They remind me of a Nar- ragansett girl. “A Narragansett girl>, driving a sixty horse power gray roadster, ad mitted: “ 'Yes, I’ve accepted David.’ “ f Why,’ said the girl beside her 'you told me positively that, if Da vid proposed to you, your answer would be a word of two letters.’ “The other girl, blushing a little, said softly: “ :< But I answered Dave In Ger man,’ ”—L03 Angelos Times.
