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

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.

T. R. Wins Illinois;
State Democratic
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—Roosevelt and
Johnson were winners in Illinois. 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

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
