2 Democratic Candidate Shows Wonderful Strength All Over the Country, Even in G. O. P. Stronghold! LANDSLIDE FOR WOODROW WILSON GREATEST IN HISTORM Doubtful States Carried by Governor, While Taft and Roosevelt Men Fought for the Second Fl ace. By L. F WOODRUFF. Woodrow Wilson foray has the dis tinction of having been accorded the greatest electoral vote ever polled for a candidate for president. and the honor comes because President William H. Taft ceased to be "My dear Will" and Theodore Roosevelt lost the title ~f "My dear Theodote." Washington, Adams. Jefferson. Maili son and Monroe had almost th< sarin unanimity of triumph of the Princeton professor, but they were returned win ners In the days when ]>olttlcal parties were more or less unknown In these United Stales and the voting strength of the nation was decidedly smaller in quantity than it is today No Longer His “Dear Bill.’’ A Democrat was i rally elected presi dent when Colonel Roosevelt retired from the white house and turned the keys over to his secr-tary of w ar, wtiom he called "Dear Will." His triumph was made certain when a lx»n docked in New York harbor and a famous sha kira landed to find that his policies had been kicked around. From that mo ment the "dear" was changed to a word beginning with the same letter, and It meant that for the first time since Grover Cleveland retired from Washington ami William Jennings Bryan became a national character there wits opportunity for a patient Democracy to reap its reward. Political seers have said and tiler* are none to gainsay their declarations —that Wilson, or an' other progressive Democrat. could have won as soon as the wold "deal" was mi-tainorphOßlzed Era Dark and Dreary For Democratic Hosts. Up to the time of this change, Un Republican parti had b'-on the most compact organization that limrlcatt political history had known. Demo crats had seen the oratory of Mr. Bryan thrice fail to put patriots in postmustc t positions. The conservatism of Alton R P arki i availed nothing In tin- en I sy deavor to place persons of Democrati. persuasion in the jobs a« of Internal revenue The dark and ill eat y era seemed to be as lasting as tile glory of the sun until Colonel Roost veil and Mr. Taft stopped tailing each othet “dear." But in the meantime t'olonel Roose veil forsook politics to become a faunal naturalist. At the same moment Woodrow Wilson abandoned the t la sit shades of t >ld Nassau to lead a forlorn hope for the free ami unfiun nelled Demo< racy of New Jersey I!• led It successfully, and became a mi tional figure because it was reasoned that any one who coult fiverthrow tin rock-ribbed Republicanism of New .lei - sey could overthrow anything else, even to the machine that had lt« making In • the master muni of Ms'k Hanna. Schedule "K“ a Thorn For Taft. President Taft was not die in the meantime. It is recorded that he was ailing as first aid to an injured Democ racy. The G. <l. P had gone on record i fin a revision of the tariff. The G O P. under the direction of President] •Cost, revised it upward instead of downward, which was contrary to tin general idea the people had of platform pledges. In the tariff bill was a schedule culled "K.” which was peculiarly obnoxious to the Western farmers, and when this •chedule was passed failing to put wool on the free list they arose in their wrath and demanded the s alp, hide ami everything elee hut the smile of Wil liam Howard Taft. And then Theodore Roosevelt re turned with a shipload of slain var mints and u sincere belief that per sona of predatory wealth had pulled the wool over "Dear Will's" eyes and he was no longer a person to endow with endearing epithets. T. R. Didn’t Lose Any of His Time.

The presidential race drew out 8.644 votes, 1,320 less than the heated pri mary for mayor. Woodrow Wilson carried every ward and district in Fulton county by ma jorities ranging from almost three to one to six to one. with Colonel Roose velt running second in every yvard, and Taft a bad third. The votes for Debs and Chafin were hardly worth the counting. The prediction that Roosevelt woul.l carry Fulton, made with apparent con fidence by some of his support-;s ea:;|y today, lacked about seven-eights f be fulfilled, but those who bet the colom'l would poll a thousand vete- in Fulton had won theb money when eight of the ten wards reported.

Fulton county Democracy rallied to be Woodrow Wilson standard, and de l-pits- the strenuous efforts of the Bull i Moose leaders, the first boxes that re l poi ted indicated that a sweeping ma ijority would be given the Democratic i candidate. Though the Moose activity at all the polls was noteworthy, Roosevelt ran ' but a poor second to Wilson in the I county precincts. Taft yvas a worse ‘third. Debs got a small scattering vote I throughout the county, but Chafin, the i prohibition candidate, failed to have a ; single supporter. I In the city precincts, the vote was I remarkably large for a general election. [Usually in the South a presidential elec tion is purely perfunctory, but this time : the fight made by the Moosers to carry j Fulton brought out the Democratic | strength. At the city polls the cry’ “Vote the I white mar'.- i.ket!” did telling work I , I 3 Nv for Wilson. The Roosevelt workers were- tireless and stayed at the polls all day. There was no Taft sentiment in evidence. In Atlanta beyond doubt the Moose activity brought out the Democratic vote. The Roosevelt ward men were early at the polls and the early ballot ing was so strongly Progressive that the Democrats became alarmed. The word was sent and the part strength rallied. It was frequently' predicted that more votes would be polled in the general election than in *he white pri mary for mayor. In the county beats, with the excep tion of Oak Giove. Wilson polled 74P to Roosevelt’s 164 Taft got but 37 votes, while Debs had 10 and Chafin none.
