Pickens and Towns. , 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. Appling 250 .... ....

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.

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. VOTE IN FULTON BREAKS RECORD Moose Activity Stirs Demo crats, Who Give Wilson 7,- 304 of 9,684 Ballots. Carrying- every*city ward and coun try precinct with majorities ranging from three to one to six to one, Wood row Wilson swept Pulton county with the heaviest vote ever polled in a na tional election. Gut 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, Chafin 22. Roosevelt’s re puted strength failed to materialize, and except in the Firth ward he was literally swamped in every voting pre cinct. In the Fifth wa:d the Bull Moose candidate recel\»ed“l33 votes out of 480 votes. The heavy Democratic vote in Ful ton undoubtedly was due to the activi ties of the Roosevelt supporters. Per sistent assertions that Roosevelt would carry the city stirred the Democrats to greater activity than heretofore seen 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. Wards. Wilson. Rooseveit.

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. (Advt.) 3
