The Democratic Donkey has
kicked the horns off the Bull
Moose and chewed the trunk off
the elephant of the Grand Old
Party.
Tuesdays election resulted in
a sweeping victory for the Demo-
Gratis, Wilson and Marshall hav-
ing been elected by an over
whelming majority.
Early returns Tuesday night
gave Wilson and Marshal the
Solid South. F" and the states of
Connecticut. Delaware, Ken
tucky, Maine, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, New York, West Vir-
ginia, Indiana, and Missouri.
AS the night advanced and re-
turns from the West began to
come in the carrier estimates
were confirmed, and Montana,
New Jersey and New Mexico
were added to those that seemed
certain for the Democratic can
didates, while scattering returns
from San Francisco and Los An
geles made it probable that Cali
fornia might join the Wilson
Marshall column.
Returns were received at the
Columbus Theatre, and from the
first were favorable to the Demo-
cratic candidates. During the
early part of the night the bulle-
tins came principally from South
ern states. and, while they an
nounced big majorities for Will
son and Marshall they aroused
little interest, as it was generally
known that the Democratic can
didates would carry the "Solid
S,uth." Later on, however,
when returns from the East be-
gan to come in and showed that
most of the states which are gen.
orally considered doubtful had
fallen into the Democratic column
there was much rejoicing.
The early returns gave an ap.
parent victory to Taft in New
Hampshire and Vermont, but
the Taft pluralities dwindled as
midnight approached to a very
few hundred votes in each state,
and seemed likely to be wired
out entirely.
The vote in Utah indicated
the state might be carried for
Taft. The vote in Pennsylvania
was amazingly close, the returns
from over a thousand precincts,
embracing over $4,000 votes,
giving each of the three leading
presidential candidates more
than $4,000 votes. The New
York state assembly seemed to
be overwhelmingly Democratic.
In Illinois indications were that
Judge Dunno, the Democratic
candidate for governor, had won,
notwithstanding the heavy
Roosevelt victory. Former
Speaker Cannon seemed to have
been defeated for reelection to
congress in Illinois.
The claims of the Roosevelt
managers that Iowa. Michigan
and Kansas would fall into The

COUNTY ATTORNEYS OFFICE
Tuesdays Election Resulted in
Abolition of the Office in
This County.

After the first of January
Lowndes county will no longer
have a prosecuting attorney. the
vote in Tuesdays election having
resulted in the abolition Ct the
office.
The people of Columbus favor
ed the continuance of the office,
the vote here having stood 248
for and 184 against its retention,
but the rural precincts gave big
majorities against the PROPOSE
ton, resulting in its defeat by a
decisive majority. Circuit Clerk
Gunter was out of the city yes
terday, and it was impossible to
obtain the official vote, but it
is known beyond all doubt that
the majority against the continu-
ance of the office was sufficiently
large to abolish it.
Hon. ]. |. Sturdivant has been
county attorney ever since the
office was created by the legisla-
ture two years ago, and has dis
charged his duties in a most ca
pable manner. He made no ef-
fort to secure votes for the re-
tention Of the office, having left
it to the people to decide the mat
ter according to their own minds.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. Sac
cording to advices received to-
night by National Committeeman
Robert Powell, the indications
point to vote aggregating two
thirds of the normal in Missis-
sippi. In all the larger towns the
vote has been much larger than
expected, while the fair weather
served to bring a larger proper
ton of the rural vote than has
been cast before in a presidential
election since 1884. Judge Pow
ell has wired Chairman w. f.
McCombs, of the national COM
mittee, that Wilson and Mar
shall electors have polled 60,
majority in the state.
This is the largest majority
given the national Democratic
ticket in Mississippi in twenty
years. The total vote of the
state will probably reach $4,000,
as estimated by officials from
early reports. The interest of
the public is SO strongly centered
in the news from the country at
large that little attention is be-
ing paid to the result in Missis-
sippi. Great crowds are congre-
gated at the newspaper offices
where the returns are being re-
ceived, and at the board of trade
rooms where special service is
installed.
All eight of the Democratic
nominees for congress were elect
ed without opposition by i'm
creased popular vote. The indi-
cations are tonight that the three
constitutional amendments sub
mitted on the ticket have been
adopted. 1t will require the Off
cial canvass. however, to deter.
mine this.

Statement from Wilson.

Responding to a telegram from
the Democratic national chair
man asserting that Governor
Wilson unquestionably was elect.
ed, the Democratic candidate
sent a dispatch to Mr.. McCombs
as follows;
i deeply appreciate your tele-
gram and wish to extend to you
and the members of the cam
paign committee my warm con-
gratulations on the part you have
played in the organization and
conduct of a campaign fought
out upon essential issues.
"A great cause has triumphed.
Every Democrat, every true
progressive, of whatever alliance,
must now lend his full force and
enthusiasm to the fullfillment of
the peoples hope. the establish
ment of the peoples right, SO
that justice and progress may go
hand in hand"
This was Gov. Wilson'S first
utterance of a public character
after his acceptance of the re-
ports that he had been elected.
The Local Results.
Boxes containing the ballots
cast at the various precincts
throughout the county were
brought to Columbus yesterday,
but Circuit Clerk Gunter was out
of the city, and they were not
opened, SO it was impossible to
obtain the official vote except al
the two Columbus boxes, which
was as follows:
Democratic 484. Progressive
II, Republican IL, Socialist 10.
