, local Democratic victory was full,
complete and absolutely conclusive.
y.-sterday. for the first time in many
presidential moons. Georgia aroused
herself and showed genuine, old time
Democratic form.
Tlie Bull Moose, helped along by
Thomas E. Watson, threw a big scare
the Georgia Democracy, that so
lone had prided itself upon an appro
priate.: descriptive prefix, “unterrifled.’’
The scare was the thing the Democ
rat needed. It brought forth the cave
tellers, the laggards, the lukewarm,
fl nd the indifferent.
Mr. Watson helped the cause im
mensely when he bolted to the Bull
Monse. His bolting, after having par
ticipated in 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
men—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.
f Before its 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.

Sen. Dixon, Moose
Manager, Beaten
BUTTE, MONT.. Nov. 6.—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.
Wyoming Looks
Like Taft’s
CHEYENNE, WYO.. Nov. 6.—Taft is
in the lead In Wyoming, according to
returns today. Indications that his
plurality will be in the neighborhood of
4,000. Mondell, Republican, for con
gress, 4s running ahead of the national
ticket. The legislature is close, and
this means the return of Senator Fran
cis S. Warren is in doubt.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6. 1912.
Two Daughters of the Presi
dent-Elect First Saw Light
in This State.
Georgia home Ideals will rule the
white house when President Taft turns
over the keys of the executive mansioe
to Woodrow Wilsor* On March 4, for
the next president received his child
hood training in a Georgia home. His
wife, who becomes the nation’s first
lady, was born in the same state. Two
of their daughters, who will share the
dignities of the white house with their
distinguished father, are natives of
Georgia, and the entire family has pre
served the ideals and the traditions of
the South.
Thomas Woodrow Wilson, president
presidential nominee of either of the
two great political parties to be born
south of the Mason and Dixon line
since the Civil war, first saw the light
of day at Staunton. 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 all 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 Jefferson 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 Augusrta and was a school
mate of Justice Joseph R. Lamar, now
of the United States supreme court
bench. The family moved to Columbia.
S. C., 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
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. Talcott, 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 was 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 Louise 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,
lean 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 at 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 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
rlous In all this, it may be said. There
will be plenty of good humor, plenty of
fun. and those who will have the privi
lege of attending a white house recep
tion will have to burnish up their wits
SWING G.O.P.
PLEASING TO T. 0.
OYSTER BAY”, Nov. 6. “The fight will
go ahead. It doesn’t make any difference
who the leader is to he; 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 bj 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.
Rhode Island in
Wilson Column
PROVIDENCE, R. 1., Nov. 6.—Gov
ernor Wilson carried Rhode Island bj
more than 5,000 plurality, and with him
were elected two out of three Dem
ocratic candidates for congress George
F. O’Shaughnessy, from the First dis
trict. present member, and Peter Goe
let Gerry, of Newport. Speaker Am
brose Kennedy, Republican, won in the
Third. The legislature will be Repub
lican by about thirty on Joint ballot.
Governor Pothier apparently Is re
elected for a fifth term by 2,000 plural
ity, and Sumner Mowrey, Democrat,
probably has defeated Roswell B. Bur
chard, Republican, for lieutenant gov
ernor.
Texas Gives Wilson
100,000 Plurality
AUSTIN, TEXAS. Nov. 6.—Governor
Wilson swept Texas, piling up a plu
rality of 100.000 or more, while the com
bined Taft and Roosevelt vote amount
ed to only about 75,000.
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.
Mrs. Wilson was a student at the Art
Students league in New York after she
became engaged to Woodrow Wilson,
who had given up law at Atlanta to
go to Johns Hopkins to specialize on
the subject that has made him a presi
dent. Mrs. Wilson gave up painting
after her marriage.
Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson wa«
born 26 years ago, while Mrs. Wilson
was visiting relatives at Gainesville,
Ga.; Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson made
her appearance a year later, when Mrs
Wilson was again at Gainesville. Miss
Eleanor Randolph Wilson had her first
birthday 22 years ago at Middletown.
Conn., when Wondrow Wilson was a
professor at Wesleyan university.

Democratic Tidal
Wave in New York
NEV YORK, Nov. 6.—Swept to vic
tory on the crest of Woodrow Wilsofl’s
tidal wave of popularity. Representa
tive William Sulzer has been elected
governor of New York state by a. plu
rality estimated at from 186,000 to 190,-
000. This was more than twice the size
of Governor John A. Dix’s plurality in
1910.
New 1 ork 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 Straus, 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 city by approximately 137,000.
Governor Wilson carried each of the
five boroughs making up this city.
Colonel Roosevelt carried four election
districts, but the president did not get
a single one.

the heaviest vote ever polled in a na

Gut of a total vote, unofficial, of 9,684,

The heavy Democratic vote in Ful

And His Stomach
Is AU Right
— •>
Thousands with Poor Teeth Have
Good Digestion by Using Stu
art ’s Dyspepsia Tablets
After Meals.
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 norma! person eats heartily, i.-titj
with keen enjoyment. That it because
his mind doesn’t anticipate stomach
trouble. And if he does have an attack
of sour stomach or indigestion he
knows that the use of Stuart’s. Dyspe
psia Tablets give quick relief.
A Gentleman of the “Old School” Who
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 it should
not be a question of diet or kind of
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 of which j
have a direct and powerful action upon
the contents of the stomach.
One grain of a single ingredien* in
Stuait’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
3,000 grains of food. This saxes your
stomach and gives it 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 them. They are sold
at 50 cents by all druggists everywhere.
