SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Ole Miss Democracy certainly went
on the warpath in Georgia yesterday,
and what she did was a-plenty, and
27 1
r
surely was calcu
lated to hold some
people for a while I
Ole Miss had
been hearing scan
dalous things
about what was
to happen to the
household in Geor
gia, and it made
her mad—indeed,
it got her dander
up, good and
proper!
She had been
told that Teddy
Taft and Willie
Roosevelt, were
coming around
and cut all sorts
of capers, right
under her very nose.
It was whispered that Teddy was go
ing to steal the front gate, and that
Willie actually planned to tie a bow of
crape on her front door knob!
Ole Miss hadn’t been bothering much
about things of late. Shs had planned
Io work in the collard patch all day
yesterday—but when the neighborhood
pest, Sorrell-top Tom, joined Teddy
and Willie, and even went so far as to
make faces at Ole Miss —sakes alive!
but that made her sore!
So Ole Miss put on her old gray' bon
net, with the blue ribbons on it, yes
terday, and she got her trusty broom
stick, and she sallied forth to clean up
that combination of Teddy, Willie and
Tom!
It was just a question of getting Ole
Miss riled —and Teddy and Willie and
Toni pulled the trick, all right!
Well, it happened just as Samrnie
Blythe, in The Saturday Evening Post,
said it would.
Therefore, nevertheless, however, but,
if, notwithstanding, although, and on
the contrary'. Wilson swept the nation.
Samuel kept a large and nifty anchor
to windward all the way through the
stormy seas of prediction, and .Samuel’s
figures were verified.
It necessarily happened that way, for
Samuel had a fine set of figures to fit
snugly and beautifully any and all pos
sible contingencies.
It would be something of a job, per
haps, to find one person brave and bold
enough today to admit that he didn’t
know all along what was going to hap
pen!
And yet it Is a lead-pipe cinch that a
whole lot of people didn’t know.
The problem the Georgia Democracy
had to face was the problem of getting
out the Democratic vote.
Two things served to help along the
effort—activity of the leaders and the
opposition of Mr. Wasson.
It is plain enougli that Mr. Watson's
following balked at going to Roosevelt.
That is, a large setion of that following
balked.
Moreover, Air. Watson's bolt to
Roosevelt, after having participated in
the primary and having been elected a
delegate-at-large to Baltimore, aroused
much Democratic resentment. He es-
“It is a pleasure to tell you that
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the
best cough medicine I have ever used,”
writes Mrs. Hugh Campbell, of Lavonia,
Ga. “I have used it with all my chil
dren and the results have been highly
satisfactory.” For sale by all dealers.

“Broadway Jones,” a thrilling
story of ‘ ‘ The Great White Way, ”
based on George M. Cohan’s play
now running in New York, will
begin in Friday’s Georgian. It is
[well worth reading.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
B. P. 0. ELKS—Meet at
Auditorium at 6:45 this eve
ning to turn out in Elks’
great charity Kinness pa
rade. All visiting Elks fra
ternally invited to join us.
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1912.
poused the cause of Roosevelt upon the
flimsy pretext that Wilson had become
a Knight of Columbus.
Mr. Watson’s activity for Roosevelt
likely carried two votes to the polls for
Wilson yesterday to every one it car
ried for Roosevelt.
And to that extent Mr. Watson
helped the cause of Wilson—unwilling
ly and unconsciously, of course —but
certainly, nevertheless.
Then, too, the negro question was
used to browbeat many a weak-kneed
Bull Moose here and there.
It was pretty cheap, and it was un
worthy, but in some phases of the fight
it worked.
It had a humorous twist, too—it got
many a good, if more or less unwilling,
laugh in places.
Here in Atlanta not a few voters ap
proached the polls with Roosevelt tick
ets in hand, only to be gibed and guyed
with, “Have a piece of chicken. Brother
Washington,” "Booker, pass the pie,”
and similar chaste salutations.
Every once in a while one would see
a voter drop his Progressive ballot,
grin a sickly sort of grin, and leave the
polls in disgust—or ask for a Demo
cratic ballot.
It all figures backward and forward
to the one proposition the Democrats
had to tackle—the getting of the vote
in the ballot box.
There never was any question about
the Democratic votes being within the
state—there was considerable question
of their going into the ballot box.
A commendable circumstance was
the faithfulness and aggressiveness of
the Underwood men In yesterday’s tri
umph of Democracy.
The state did not go for Wilson in
the preferential primary—and Georgia’s
delegation to Baltimore onlv voted for
him on the last ballot.
Nevertheless, the Underwood men
plunged headlong into the fight to land
Georgia in the Wilson column, gener
ously and unmistakably, and they stood
to the guns to the finish.
There was no sulking, no backing, no
bushwhacking—all hands joined in a
common cause!
And the answer—
Georgia for Wilson by a tremendous
majority.
It was inevitable.
Health Restored By
Eckman’s Alterative
A Valuable Remady for Throat and Lungs
R yo ! 1 ? re a suffcrw from glandular
tuberculosis, or know of any one so af
flicted, it might be well to Investigate
this case, where the writer declares after
a T ear suffering, he found permanent
relief and full recovery to health by using
Eckman s Alterative, a medicine which
has been effective in many cases of tu
berculosis: •
257 Laruston Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
"Gentlemen: In March, 1909, I was
taken sick and my doctor pronounced my
case 'tuberculosis in the glands.’ Medi
cal treatment did not help me, and on my
doctor’s advice I went to a hospital to
be operated upon, but relief was only tem
porary. I lost strength and at times’would
have cold sweats and fever. In April
1910, I returned to the hospital, but the
continued operations were not benefiting
me.
"In the meantime, a friend of mine
advised Eckman's Alterative, saying it
was good for tuberculosis. The wounds
in my neck were still open and in a fright
ful condition when I started to take it.
After using two bottles, I found I was im
proving. having gained weight, could eat
and was able to sleep. I continued using
it until I was well, which was in Novem
ber, 1910. Before I took the medicine I
had three hemorrhages. Since I have been
taking it, I have not had any. On No
vember 11, 1910, I started to work, and
since that time I have not lost one day’s
work through sickness. I can highly rec
ommend Eckman’s Alterative to any one
who is suffering from tuberculosis or
gland trouble, providing they take it as
directed. I will gladly correspond with
any party desiring further Information of
what the medicine did for me."
(Sworn affidavit) JOSEPH B. WHITE.
Eckman's Alterative is effective in bron
chitis. asthma, hay fever, throat and lung
troubles and in upbuilding the system.
Does not contain poisons, opiates, or hab
it-forming drugs. For sale by all Jacobs’
drug stores and other leading druggists.
Ask for booklet telling of recoveries and
write to Eckman Laboratory, Philadel
phia, Pa., for additional evidence. (Advt.)
