The Atlanta Georgian Read Far Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Resists. HOKE SMITH TO DEAL PIE TO GEORGIA FAITHFUL Choice Jobs in This State to Go to the Men Who Helped Wilson Win. 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 to day to consider the most momentous question which Southern Democracy has faced in exactly twenty years: "What do I get?” There is a large and juicy pie to cut and distribute, even if the civil service rules did lock up the side dishes sev eral terms ago. In Georgia alone the new administration has about 100 pres idential postoffices, two district attor neyships, one job as collector of inter nal 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 factional lines are to be forgotten in cutting the melon, and that Wilson winners and Underwood losers. Hoke Smith cohorts and Joe Brown boosters, shall share and share alike in the gifts to be given—-if they get the right back ing. Hoke Smith is to be the chief distributor of the plums, which may or may not modify that clause about fac tionalism and forgetfulness. Farewell to the Republican Pensioners. Along in the late spring, after the Fourth of March and its epidemic of pneumonia, there will be a second plague sweeping through the country, with a marked fatality among Federal office holders. It Is an axiom In poli tics that victors are spoilers, and Wood row Wilson probably will spoil a num ber of promising young careers. For twenty years the profession of being a Southern Republican has paid well, in asmuch as competition was light and jobs fairly plentiful. Indeed. In some cities, it is said, there were more of fices than there were Republicans, am Continued on Page Two. ATLANTA, GA., WEDN ESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1912. T. R. CONGRATULATES WILSON; STICKS TO-MOOSE “CAUSE” OYSTER BAY.—Here is Colonel Roosevelt’s statement on the election: “The American people, by a great plurality, have decided in favor of Mr. Wilson and the Democratic party. Like all other good citizens, I accept the re sult with entire good humor and contentment. “As for the Progressive cause, I can only repeat what I have already so many times said: “The fate of the leader for the time being is of little conse quence, but the cause itself must in the end triumph, for its triumph is essential to the well being of the American people. (Signed) “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” Colonel Roosevelt sent the following telegram to Governor Wilson: “The American people, by a great majority, have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift. I congratulate you thereon. (Signed) “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” Crumpacker Loses In Indiana Deluge INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6.—The Dem ocratic landslide struck Indiana. Not only was Woodrow Wilson carried by its force with Governor Thomas R. Marshall, but the entire state ticket, the legislature and the congressional delegation is Democratic. Edward Dean Crumpacker, who for years has represented the Tenth district, and who was the only Republican representative in congress from the state at the last congress, has been defeated, according to latest returns from the northern part of the state. The congressmen elected are: First district, Charles F. Lied; Second dis trict, William A. Cullop; Third dis trict, William E. Cox; Fourth district. Lincoln Diedon; Fifth district. Ralph W. Moss; Sixth district, Finley H. Gray; Seventh district, Charles A. Korbly; Eighth district, John A. M. Adair; Ninth district. Martin A. Mor rison; Tenth district, John Peterson; Eleventh district, George W. Rauch; Twelfth district, Cyrus Cline; Thir teenth district, Henry A. Barnhart. Michigan Still Reported in Doubt DETROIT, Nov. 6.—This morning Michigan still Is in doubt. Returns are slower both in the city and up-state than in many years, owing to the vot ing for constitutional amendments. Roosevelt's margin over Wilson now is not more than 2,000. Taft is a very poor third. So few districts are in that these relative positions may be changed within a few hours. The most certain thing seems to be the election of Woodbridge N. Ferris, Democratic candidate for governor. Edward Frenzdorf, Democrat, ap pears to have been elected congress man at large. The Democrats probably have lost the Fifth district, giving A. Carl Mapes. Republican, a plurality of a few hundred over Congressman Sweet. ELECTORAL VOTE FOR PRESIDENT following Is the election result by electoral votes: Roose- State. Taft. Wilson, velt. Alabama 12 ....

With this exception, the entire Democratic ticket swept the state. In Cook county —including Chicago—the Democrats won after one of the hardest fights ever known here. Maclay Hoyne, Democrat, candidate for state’s attorney, was elected after a neck-and-neck race with William A. Cunnea, Socialist, who ear ly in the count had a lead over the field. Peter Bartsen, president of the county board, against whom one of the most spectacular fights Chicago has ever seen was waged, emerged successful and was re-elected. In the state at large, Roosevelt's strength was less than had been ex pected. His lead, which was in dicated at 90,000. dwindled as the count came in until it amounted to only 30,- 000. It was expected that late returns from the southern sections might re duce it still more. Bull Moose leaders in < hicago said there was no danger that the late down-state vote would change the returns. Edward F. Dunne, Democratic can didate for governor, won with the other members of his ticket. Frank H. Funk, Progressive, made a great race against Dunne in the state, outside Chicago, displaying strength that surprised his own backers. Sen. Dixon, Moose Manager, Beaten BUTTE. MONT., Nov Senator Jo sept M Dixon, campaign manager for Roosevelt, went down before the Demo cratic landslide The Wilson wave which put Montana In the Democratic column by upward of 6,000 votes carried Into of fice a Democratic legislature. Samuel V. Stewart has been elected governor, and Thomas M. Stout and John M. Evans, Democrats, elected to congress. ALLCOHNEHSDFNATIDN UNITE 111 GIVING WILSON MENDOIIS VICTORY Woodrow Wilson, governor of New Jersey, has been elected the twenty-seventh president of the United States in the most remark able election upheaval ever witnessed, and will receive in the electoral college the greatest majority ever won by the national standard bearer of a great political party. He is assured of 403 electoral votes out of a total of 531. Roosevelt will have 117 and Taft 11. 1 Wilson’s majority in the electoral college will be 137. The next national house of representatives will have an erven larger Democratic majority than the present house, and a Demo cratic senate seems likely. Wilson carried such Republican strongholds as California, Idaho and New Hampshire. Roosevelt captured South Dakota, and Taft squeezed through in Wyoming. Wilson’s lead is overwhelming. Roosevelt runs a poor second. Senator A* 0* Bacon Is Mentioned for Job in Pres* Wilson's Cabinet Underwood, Too, Talked of For Portfolio—Slate-Makers Busy. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Although the waiting for President-elect Wilson's vic tory to he formally affirmed by the elec toral college, slate-makers were at work today picking the next cabinet. The names generally mentioned for the Wil son portfolios were as follows: Secretary of state, William Jennings Bryan. Senator Raynor, of Maryland, or Senator Bacon, of Georgia. Y Secretary of Treasury, Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, of Representative Os car W. Underwood, of Alabama. Attorney general, Samuel W. Unter meyer, of New York; Louis D. G. Brand els, of Boston, or ex-Governor Folk, of Missouri. Secretary of the navy, William G. Mc- Adoo, of New York. Postmaster general, William F. Mc- Combs, of New York, or Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina. Governor Burke, of North Dakota, and Senator Obediah Gardner, of Maine, were talked of for secretary of agriculture. Senator O'Gorman, of New York, was also mentioned for cabinet honors There were some who believed that Democratic National Chairman McCombs. Instead of accepting a place In the cabi net, would become the president’s secre tary. IXTRA 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE p *™° and Taft runs pathetically weak. By the election of Governor Wilson as president and Governor Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, as vice president, a Democratic national administration will come into power for the first time since Grover Cleveland’s term expired in 1896, Republicans having been in power for sixteen consecutive years. Wilson’s Victory Truly National. President-elect Wilson's victory was truly national. He did not draw hi* strength from any particular section of the country, but East and West, North and South united in giving the national Democratic ticket the greatest sweep in the history of American politics. The sixty-third congress will be en tirely Democratic and President-elect Wilson will have the full force of both legislative branches of the government behind him to back up his demands on congress. Governor Wilson’s immense strength swept to victory with him congression ■i- 1 ' ~ al, legislative and state officers throughout the country. Leaders of the National Progressive party declare t|>at the Republican party has been all hut annihilated and that it will never y again figure potentially in the political affairs of this nation. One of the most significant features of the great popular upheaval was a solemn warning issued by President Taft at Cincinnati as a result of the
