T . Roosevelt counties are Cherokee, Botirl.is. Haralson, Paulding. Pickens and Towns. T . local Democratic victory was full, compiete and absolutely conclusive. Yesterday, for the first time in many providential moons. Georgia aroused herself and showed genuine, old time Democratic form. The Bull Moose, helped along by Thomas E. "Watson, threw a big scare Into the .Georgia Democracy, that so long had prided itself upon an appro priated descriptive prefix, “unterrified.” The scare was the thing the Democ ri v needed. It brought forth the cave (hvollers. the laggards, the lukewarm, nntl the indifferent. Mr. Watson helped the cause im mensely when he bolted to the Bull Moose, His bolting, after having par ticipated m the primary, was resented profoundly. He was the compelling cause of many Wilson votes in Geor gia. Then. too. the great activity of the state committee and Georgia’s public m en—the appeals of Hoke Smith, and "Little Joe.” and the congressmen, and Judges, and the mayors—all helped to achieve the consummation so devoutly to be wished in Democratic councils. All factionalism was laid aside, all the wounds of the preferential primary were healed, and Georgia’s Democracy walked to the polls yesterday, rank and file solidified, unafraid and militant, as of yore. Before Us advance the enemy was helpless. The threatened Bull Moose opposition never materialized —the Taft strength hardly made an impression. Democracy was in the saddle in Geor gia yesterday-—and that Democracy was determined to ride down every protest ing cohort, no matter whence It came, or in whose opposing name. The one doubt of the campaign—the getting out of the vote —was resolved handsomely and splendidly in favor of Wilson and Marshall. Counties. Wilson. Roosevelt. Taft. Appling 250 .... ....

This was more than twice the size of Governor John A. Dix’s plurality In 1910. New York state will have a complete Democratic government at Albany, the Democrats having captured both branches of the legislature. The Democrats retain their control of the congress delegation in this state, the figures standing 26 Democrats to 17 Republicans. • , Although Oscar Sti*aus, the Progres sive candidate for governor, polled 65,- 000 votes more than Job E. Hedges, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in New York city, the Republican ran second to Representative Sulzer in the state outside of this city. Governor Wilson carried New York state by a plurality estimated in round figures at 205.000, and he carried New York etty by approximately 137,000. Governor Wilson carried each of the five boroughs making up this city. Colonel Roosevelt carried four election districts, hut the president did not get a single one.

Va., December 28, 1856. His stock has been described as perhaps the most vigorous physically, the most alert mentally, the most ro bust morally of 411 the strains that have amalgamated in the developing of the American character —Scotch-Irish. His paternal grandfather. Judge James Wilson, came to this' country from Ire land about 105 years ago and settled in Philadelphia, where he went into the newspaper business as a member of the staff of William Duane’s Aurora, which was published at the address which for merly was the home of Benjamin Franklin. ' Joseph R. Wilson became a professor in rhetoric at Jeffersoq college imme diately after his marriage, for a year, and for four years thereafter was pro fessor of chemistry at Hampden-Syd ney college in Virginia. He was called to the pastorate at Staunton in 1855 and moved there with his wife and two daughters. During Christmas week of the following year his son was born. The South His Home. Joseph R. Wilson and his family moved to Augusta, in 1858. and there after until the time came for Woodrow Wilson to go to Princeton his home was in the South. He can dimly remember the outbreak of the Civil war, begin ning with the declaration of "Lincoln’s elected, and there will be war." He saw little of the sufferings or priva tions, however, for Augusta was sin gularly fortunate in that it escaped all bloodshed; was never invested by an army; it never became a regular mili tary camp. One of Woodrow Wilson’s memories of the strife is, however, see ing Jefferson Davis, then a prisoner, riding by on his way to Fortress Mon roe. Young Wilson received his early ed ucation in Augusta and was a school mate of Justice Joseph R. Lamar, now of the (’nited States supreme court bench. The family moved to Columbia, S. in 1870, and there the father became a professor In the Southern Theological seminary. In 1873 the son was sent off to Davidson college, Da vidson, N C„ where he studied, played ball and developed himself for a year. Then an illness compelled him to re turn home. He entered Princeton in 1875, a member of the famous class of '79. Several members of that class are SMASHING G. 0. P. PLEASINGTOT.R. OYSTER BAY. Nov. 6.—“ The fight will go ahead. It doesn’t make any difference who the leader is to be; the cause will go on." Colonel Roosevelt thus commented to day on the result of the election. The colonel had read with satisfaction a stack of telegrams from Progressive leaders the country over that showed the Repub lican party had been smashed in neaerly every state. It was to put the G. O. P. out of business that Roosevelt primarily organized his independent party. The news that he had accomplished it gave him intense pleasure. Roosevelt felt keen disappointment over the defeat of Oscar Straus for governor. Another disappointment was the defeat of Beveridge In Indiana. But against these, the colonel found Intense satisfaction in the victory in Illinois and the other states swept by the Progressives. The colonel declined to go into any discussion as to what the Progressive party would do in 1916, or if he would consent to lead it if the call came to him. known today; Mahlon Pitney is a Jus tice of the United States supreme, court; Dr. A. S. Halsey Is secretary of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions; besides there are Robert Bridges, an editor of Scribner's Maga zine Charles A. Taleott, Robert H. McCarter, once attorney general of New- Jersey; Edward W. Sheldon, president of the United States Trust Company; Colonel Edwin A. Stevens and Judge Robert R. Henderson, of Maryland. Practiced Law Here. Immediately after his graduation he went to the law school of the Univer sity of Virginia, where he remained un til about January 1. 1881, when illness compelled him to go to his home at Wilmington, N. C. He was admitted to the bar in 1882, and went to Atlanta, where he entered Into partnership with Edward Ireland Renick. He occupied his time while waiting for clients, who did not come in great numbers, with beginning “Congressional Government,” the success of which later decided him against the active practice of the law. In fact, all idea of the law w-as given up, and he resolved to go to Johns Hop kins university for a post-graduate course in the science of government. At the home of his cousin, Jessie Woodrow Bones, at Rome, in 1883, he had met Miss Ellen Douise Axson, the daughter of the Rev. S. Edward Axson and granddaughter of another clergy man of an old Georgia family. Young Wilson soon after started for Balti more. while Miss Axson came to New- York to study art.. Wilson’s book was published in 1885 and was a success. It attracted much attention to the young writer, and James Bryce in his monumental “Amer ican Commonwealth” acknowledged his obligation to Woodrow Wilson. It brought to the author calls to chairs in several colleges,’a degree or two and finally Woodrow Wilson became associate professor of history and po litical economy at Bryn Mawr. Married in Savannah. The young author and Miss Axson were married aL Savannah, June 24, 1885, and went to live at Bryn Mawr. The following year he added to his work by lecturing at Johns Hopkins, and in 1888 he became professor of his tory and political economy at Wesley an university, Middletown, Conn. Two years later he was elected to the chair of jurisprudence and politics at Prince ton, and in r 1902 was chosen as presi dent of the institution as successor to Francis Landey Patton, who resigned. The eight years of Wilson’s career as president of Princeton were eventful In that he showed his Independence of thought and his initiative in going aft er at once some of the most sacred of college traditions and practices. He announced his belief in a democracy .of college life; he announced his adher ence to the theory- that a college was for the development of a man, as a man; he Inclined to the elective or se lective principle for students and for a broad mental training according to the needs of the particular student rather than along a hard and fast line Im posed or laid down by the faculty. A Southern White House. March 4 of 1914 will see a charming mother and three equally charming, healthy-minded daughters installed In the white house. Clever, talented, each with some vocation In life, fond of en tertaining and of entertainments, with out being absorbed in society, they will add another four years of rational hos pitality to that which will have ended then. There will be nothing superse rious in all this, it may be said. There will be plenty of good humor, plenty of fun, ami those who will have the privi lege of attending a white house recep tion will have to burnish up their wits if they would keep up with the party. Mrs. Wilson, the mother, a Southern oman. whose only regret now is that her native state of Georgia should have cast its ballots so persistently against her husband, passed her youth partly In that state. She is an artist, and her friends say that she would have made a great name for herself as a portrait painter if she had not married the young college professor at Bryn Mawr.

Miss Margaret tiVoodrow Wilson was born 26 years ago, while Mrs. Wilson was visiting relatives at Gainesville, Ga.; Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson made her appearance a year later, when Mis. Wilson was again at Gainesville. Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson had her first birthday 22 years ago at Middletown. Conn., when Woodrow Wilson was a professor at Wesjeyan university. Doubtful States Carried by Governor, While Taft and Roosevelt Men Fought for the Second Place. By L. F. WOODRUFF. Woodrow Wilson today 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 of “My dear Theodore.” Washington, Adams. Jefferson. Madi son and Monroe had almost the same unanimity of triumph of the Princeton professor, but they were returned win ners In the days when political parties were more or less unknown in these United States and the voting strength of the nation was decidedly smaller in quantity than it is today. A Democrat was really elected presi dent when Colonel Roosevelt retired from the white house and turned the keys over to his secretary of war, whom he called “Dear Will.” His triumph was made certain when a boat docked in- New York harbor and a famous Sha kira landed to find that his policies had been kicked around. From that mo ment tlie “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 and William Jennings Bryan became a national character, there was opportunity for a patient Democracy to reap its reward. Political seers have said —and there are none to gainsay their declarations —that Wilson, or any other progressive Democrat, could have won as soon as the word "dear" was metamorphosized. Era Dark and Dreary For Democratic Hosts. Up to the time of this change, the Republican party had been the most compact organization that American political history had known. Demo crats had seen the oratory of Mr. Bryan thrice fail to put patriots in postmaster positions. The conservatism of Alton B. Parker availed nothing in the en deavor to place persons of Democratic persuasion in the jobs as collectors of internal revenue. The dark and dreary era seemed to be as lasting as the glory of the sun until Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Taft stopped calling each other “dear.” But in the meantime Colonel Roose velt forsook politics to become a faunal naturalist. At the same moment Woodrow Wilson abandoned the clas sic shades of Old Nassau to lead a forlorn hope for the free and unflan nelled Democracy of New Jersey. He led it successfully, and became a na tional figure because it was reasoned that any one who coult overthrow the rock-ribbed Republicanism of New Jer sey could overthrow anything else, even to the machine that had its making in the master mind of Mark Hanna. President Taft was not idle in the meantime. It is recorded that he was acting as first aid to an injured Democ racy. The G. O. P. had gone on record for a revision of the tariff. The G. O. P., under the direction of President Taft, revised it upw-ard instead of downward, which was contrary to the general idea the people had of platform pledges. In the tariff bill was a schedule called “K,” which was peculiarly obnoxious to the Western farmers, and when this schedule was passed, failing to put wool on the free list, they arose in their wrath and demanded the scalp, hide and everything else but the smile of Wil liam Howard Taft. , And then Theodore Roosevelt re turned with a shipload of slain var mints and a sincere belief that per sons 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. He began to start things right away. At the same time Woodrow Wilson be gan to assail bosses, predatory persons, and a protective tariff. Political wiseacres had it that on this account Taft could not be re-elected president, and postoffice jobs being soft, easy seats, the G. O. P. sought one of their rank and file who could turn the trick. Primaries were held, and whenever the Republicans were given a chance to express their Idea, they picked Mr. Roosevelt as the one man who could rescue the party from its dire distress. This didn’t please "Dear Will." It Is commonly believed that he sgjit word to postmasters throughout the broad land that they would quit drawing pay un less they saw the states from which they haled safely instructed for a I’at man from Cincinnati. And It is like wise recorded that they heeded his beck and call. This peeved Colonel Roosevelt. In fact, when the G. O. P. met In conven tion assembled, he informed the dele gates that it was nothing but common robbery. But the delegates liked post master pay. President Taft was renom inated. Colonel Roosevelt decided to start a new party of his own. and Woodrow Wilson was thereby elected. Wfytn Democracy met in Baltimore to choose a candidate. Governor Wilson was a second choice, but his campaign was handled In masjerly fashion. He was nominated and assured of the election when, he received the two thirds of the fervid Democratic vote. He sat still in the boat, saying pleas ant things while Messrs. Taft and Roosevelt called each other names and made him votes. Last night he heard the returns and continued to «uy pleas ant things. VOTE IN FULTON BREAKS RECORD Moose Activity Stirs Demo crats, Who Give Wilson 7,- 304 of 9,684 Ballots. Carrying every city ward aqfi coun try precinct with majorities ranging from three to one to six to one, Wood row M ilson swept Fulton county with the heaviest vote ever polled in a na tional election. Out of a total vote, unofficial, of 9.684, Wilson received 7,304 votes. Roose velt's total vote was 1,706, Taft 530, Debs. 112, Cflafln 22. Roosevelt’s re puted strength failed to materialize, and except in the Filth ward he was literally swamped in every voting pre cinct. In the Fifth wand the Bull Moose candidate received 133 votes out of 480 votes. The heavy Democratic vote in Ful ton undoubtedly was due to the activi ties of the Roosevelt supporters. Per- J sistent assertions that Roosevelt would carry the city stirred the Democrats to gt eater activity than heretofore seen 1 in a national election. The heavy vote and the clean sweap for Wilson was the result. The vote by wards and districts was as follows: FULTON COUNTY VOTE. -,.Wa r d*- Wilson. Roosevelt.

Whether or not we eat too much, is a matter for individual judgment. Ben jamin Franklin tried the experiment of living on a handful of raisins. But he discovered that the question wasn’t what he ate nor the quantity thereof, but one of digestion and assimilation. The normal person eats heartily, and with keen enjoyment. That is because his mind doesn’t anticipate stomach trouble. And if he does have an attack of sour stomach or indigestion ha knows that the use of Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets give quick relief. <te A Gentleman of the “Old School” Whi Keeps Up With the Times. Many people have poor teeth, weak gums, sore teeth and other bothersome troubles that prevent a. vigorous mas tication of food. And instead of eating soft, mushy food that palls on the ap petite they go in for those savory dishes, the very odor of which starts the saliva and makes the stomach fairly revel with anticipation. This is but a natural condition. Any thing else borders upon the indifference which fosters indigestion and chronic dyspepsia. It may be safely said that ft should not be a question of diet or kind ot food, or teeth, or even any of the re flexes which are supposed to have their influence in deranging the stomach. It is simply a matter of supplying the stomach and digestive organs with those known assistants such as pepsin, and hydrochloric acid, both ot "which have a direct and powerful action upon the contents of the stomach. One grain of a single ingredient in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of food. This saves your stomach and gives Lt the rest It needs. All muscles require occasional rest It they are ever over-taxed. The stomach Is no exception to this rule. Try a box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab lets and you will wonder how you ever got along without thetn. They are sold at 50 cents by "all druggists everywhere. (Advt 1 3
