VENDORS
BREAK ALL RECORDS

Another business record broken in At
lanta. This may sound like a chestnut;
and it is. Right now, according to the
number of licenses issued by the clay
clerk, there are more chestnut vendors
In the city than ever before on Novem-
Der T. Nearly every corner in the city
has it's pan-handler, with his little oven.
And it's a slim chance a fat, juicy chest
nut worm has this fall in the Gate Clay.
If he's not eaten alive before he gets
out of the commission house, he's roast
ed alive on some peddler's skillet
But this is no more than the worm
deserves. For hasn't he bored the life
out of many a fine Georgia raised chest
nut?
The chesanuts are large and Of fine
quality And so are their tenants. The
nuts are plentiful in the woods of north
Georgia, and though they are doomed
to an ignominious end at the hands OF
an italian pan-handler, they made 1t
hard picking before they were stripped
of their porcupine overcoats.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN
ILLINOIS SURPRISING
Thought to Be Republican
Stronghold; Nowhere Was
Landslide More Decided

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The results of yes
terday's election in Illinois and Chicago
furnished one of the greatest surprises
in the entire country. Although pictured
as In the best shape of any state in
the middle west from the Republican
standpoint, nowhere was the Democratic
landslide more pronounced.
The Democrats made a clean sweep in
Cook county and for the first time in
IA years they reign supreme here. With
pluralities ranging from 5000 to $500
the Democrats captured the offices of
sheriff, county treasurer, county clerk,
probate judge, county judge, and, in
fact, every county office
The Republican president and men,
bers of the sanitary district board met
defeat in the general Democratic clean
up. For the first time in its history a
Democratic member was elected to the
board of review. Local Republican lead
ers were staggered by the results. They
had predicted election of their entire
county ticket with pluralities varying
from $4,000 to $1,000.
Aside from the actual conquest of
county offices the election was immense
ly important to the Democrats as indi-
eating their chances of electing a mayor
of Chicago next spring.

The normal Democratic representation
in Colorado is three members and in Ok
