BASS BROTHERS CO. % GRIFFIN, GA„ GOVERNOR WILSON SWEEPS COUNTRY. Democrat Ticket Wins more Than Double Electoral Votes of Combined Opposition. DEMOCRATS INCREASE LEAD IN CONGRESS. SENATE IN DOUBT. Governor Woodrow Wilson and Governor Thomas R. Marshall carried the Democratic banner to an overwhelming victory in Tues day’s presidential election. Fairly complete returns have been received as we go *o press. They leave no doubt that the Democrats have secured an immense majority of the electoral vote. The score will probably exceed 400. Roosevelt ran second with about 112 votes and Taft third with 8. All the New England states, except New Hampshire, vtent for Wil son and it is still in doubt. Wilson won all the large states, except Illinois and Pennsylvania, which are doubtful, though probably for Roosevelt. The Democratic majority in Congress has been increased but the Senate is still in doubt. Woodrow Wilson, a Southern man with a Georgia wife, is our next President. In Henry County the vote was: Wilson 535, Roosevelt 122, Taft 15, Georgia gave Wilson about 45,000 majority. Sardis. Rev. Z. E. Barron filled h i s regular appointment here Satur day and Sunday.
