Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-02

For one thing-Georgians are con-
sentative people anyway-the statement
seems altogether too good to be true.
Wilson looks like a sure winner but
the idea is not unanimous in Geor-
gia that he is absolutely to run away
with things.
There are, indeed many Georgians
who believe that Wilson will win in
the electoral votes-and with a margin
to spare-but that he may fail at the
same time to get d popular majority
over both Roosevelt and Taft COM
bined.
And if he receives 100000 votes,
that unquestionably will be more than
Taft and Roosevelt receive together.
The national Democratic headquar-
ters is figuring Georgia to cast some
thing in the neighborhood of 10000
probably 45000-votes for Taft and
Roosevelt combined. The estimate
strikes most local observers as entire
ly too small The opinion of those who
watch those sort of things is that Geor-
gia will cast nearer $4,000 Republican
votes this time divided between Roose-
welt and Taft. There are those who
go higher than that, but to go higher
| seems more or less rash.
Georgia cast last time about $780,
900 votes. If the combined Republican
strength of Georgia be what it's head
quarters claim, and the Democrats do
no better in this election than they
did last time, Georgia may be classed
| doubtful
The chances are that Georgia isn't
doubtful at all, of course. 1t should
and likely will-go for Wilson by
safe majority The figures quoted,
nevertheless, show plainly what Demo-
cratic Indifference and apathy next
Tuesday may do.
Democrats MUST remember that the
only question of doubt in Georgia to-
day is whether they will go to the
polls next Tuesday and vote
Surely they ought-and surely they
will-resolve that doubt handsomely in
favor of Wilson and Marshall!

Bull Moose electors in Georgia-James

There still is time for Hon. Thomas

but he will have to hurry!
The Augusta Chronicle, published al
| the headquarters OF the Georgia rail-
road, and in a city profoundly af-
! feCted not only by the recent strike on
| that road, but by a local street car
strike as well, gives emphatic approval
to the recent words of the governor
| concerning law and order in Georgia,
and finds much comfort in Governor
elect Slatons Endorsement of the same.
The Chronicle says:
A man in the executive chair
who appreciates the trust given to
him; who understands the conf
dence reposed in him, and who has
the courage and the backbone to do
his duty-the duty he has sworn to
perform-will not, and can not, per-
NIT defiance of law by the few or
many. Joseph NJ. Brown has put
the state on notice that he will have
law and order John NJ. Slaton has
put the people on notice that he,
also will
This statement Of Governor
Brown is most important 1t is
clearly and concisely made. As are
all of his announcements. it is un-
mistakable in it's reasonings and
assertions. There are no words
to conceal meaning or phrases to
confuse intent. He means what he
says. and what he says has been
