COAL
SUPPLY SHORT
Fuel Famine Probable if Pro-
Ionged Cold Snap Hits City,
Declare Dealers.

Atlantas coal supply is 80 per cent be-
low normal and in the event of a sud-
den and prolonged coal snap a fuel famine
would be not unlikely, according to local
dealers. They are filling orders so far,
but the supply on hand is far below the
usual amount.
Several reasons have contributed to
the shortage, among them being a scarcity
OF coal cars In Southeastern territory.
The Traffic World says the shortage is
about 1900 cars in the Southeastern
states, while reports over the whole
country show $4,000 cars under the num-
Der needed.
Strikes among the miners of Pennsyl
vania and West Virginia, with the result
that the mines ran far behind orders, also
have helped to make coal scarce. J. Blu
low Campbell, of the r. O. Campbell Coal
Company, blames the car shortage and
the sloWness OF freight movements. T. H.
Stocks says the local supply is 80 per cent
below normal and in case of severe cold
the dealers could not possibly supply the
city'S needs

Several Southern counties gave plu-
ralities for Wilson. and without ex-
ception, the northern counties went for
Wilson by pluralities ranging from a
few votes in Yuba county to 5000 in
San Francisco county. OF the middle
counties, Alameda and Santa Clara
went for Roosevelt. while Sacramento
and San Joaquin were carried by Will
son.
The races for congress was close in
several districts, particularly the
Eighth. E. A. Hayes. Republican in
cumbent, and State Senator James B.
Holohan. Democrat, crowded each 9TH

insure Hayes election. Another hard
fight was in the Fifth district. This
was won on the face of partial returns
by l. G. Zumwalt, Democrat, who OPP
posed William Kent, Progressive Re-

Gratis, Who Give Wilson T.
304 of 1854 Ballots.

Carrying every city ward and coun-
try precinct with maJorities ranging
from three to one to six to one, Wood
row Wilson swept Fulton county with
the heaviest vote ever poled in a ma
tional election.
Out of total vote, unofficial, of 1884,
Wilson received 1904 votes. Roose-
velt's total vote was 1,7O6, Taft $50
Debs. 112, Chain %. Roosevelt's re-
puted strength failed to materialize,
and except in the Fifth ward he was
literally swamped in every voting pre-
cinct. In the Fifth ward the Bull
Moose candidate received 1913 votes out
of 4SO votes.
The heavy Democratic vote in Full
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

Era Dark and Dreary
For Democratic Hosts.

Up to the time of this change. the
Republican party had been the most
compact organization that American
political history had known. Demo-
Gratis had seen the oratory of Mr.. Bryan
thrice fail to put patriots in postmaster
positions. The conservatism OF Alton
B. Parker awaited nothing in the en-
deavor to place persons of Democratic
persuasion in the jobs az collectors or
Internal revenue The dark and dreary
era seemed to be as lasting as the glory
of the sun until Colonel Roosevelt and
Mr. Taft stopped calling each other
dear"
But in the meantime Colonel Roose-
welt fOrsook politics to become a faunal
naturalist. At the same moment
Woodrow Wilson abandoned the clas-
sic shades of Old Nassau to lead a
forlorn hope for the free and unfian-
nelled Democracy of New Jersey. He
led it successfully, and became ma
tional figure because it was reasoned
that any one who coult overthrow the
rock ribbed Republicanism of New Jer-
sey could overthrow anything else, even
TO the machine that had its making in
the master mind of Mark Hanna.

He sat still in the boat, saying pleas
ant things while Messrs. Taft and
Roosevelt called each other names and
made him votes. Last night he heard
the returns and continued to say pleas
ant things.
Incidentally, it may be remarked that
Woodrow Wilson was born on the sa-
cred soil of Virginia, which produced
Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson
and was natured in the red hills OF
Georgia, which produced many men who
followed the Virginians through -four
years of strife.
Professor Wilson is, accordingly, the
first Southern man elected to the pres
idency since Zachary Taylor. And for
all of these reasons there is jubilation
today in the land where cotton grows,
and the Democratic ticket is as sue
cessful as John d. Rockefeller, no mat
ter who is elected president

SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.

The problem the Georgia Democracy
had to face was the problem of getting
out the Democratic vote.
Two things served to help along the
effort-activity of the leaders and the
opposition of Mr.. WATSON
1t is plain enough that Mr. Watson's
following baked at going to Roosevelt.
That is, a large seton of that following
baked.
Moreover, Mr.. Watson's bolt to
Roosevelt, after having participated in
the primary and having been elected a
delegate large to Baltimore, aroused
much Democratic resentment. He es-
poused the cause of Roosevelt upon the
flimsy pretext that Wilson had become
a Knight Of Columbus.
Mr.. Watson's activity for Roosevelt
likely carried two votes to the polls for
Wilson yesterday to every one it car
ried for Roosevelt
And to that extent Mr.. Watson
helped the cause of Wilson-unwilling-
ly and unconsciously, of course-but
certainly nevertheless
WV
used to browbeat many a weak kneed
Bull Moose here and there.
1t was pretty cheap, and it was I'M
worthy, but in some phases of the fight
1t worked.
1t had humorous twist, too-it got
many good, if more or less unwilling.
laugh in places.
Here in Atlanta not few voters ap-
preached the polls with Roosevelt tick
cts in hand, only to be gibed and guyed
with, Have a piece of chicken, Brother
Washington Booker, pass the pie"
and similar chaste salutations.
Every once in while one would see
a voter drop his Progressive ballot,
grin sickly sort of grin, and leave the
polls in disgust-or ask for a Demo-
cratic ballot.
1t all figures backward and forward
to the one proposition the Democrats
had to tackle-the getting Of the vote
In the ballot box
There never was any question about
the Democratic votes being within the
state-there was considerable question
of their going into the ballot box.
A commendable circumstance was
the faithfulness and aggressiveness of
the Underwood men in yesterdays trl-
umph Of Democracy.
The state did not go for Wilson in
the preferential primary-and Georgia's
delegation to Baltimore only voted for
him on the last ballot
Nevertheless, the Underwood men
plunged headlong into the fight to land
Georgia in the Wilson column, gener-
ously and unmistakaoiy, and they stood
to the guns to the finish.
There was no sinking M hapLipu No
bushwhachng-all hands joined In a
common cause!
And the answer
Georgia for Wilson by tremendous
majority.
II was inevitable,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-06

A Democrat was really elected presi-
dent when Colonel Roosevelt retired
from the white house and turned the
keys over to his secretary of war, whom
he called Dear Will" His triumph
was made certain when a boat locked
in New York harbor and famous sha-
lira landed to find that his policies had
been kicked around. From that mo-
ment the dear" was changed to a
word beginning with the same letter,
and it meant that for the first time
since Grover Cleveland retired from
Washington and William Jennings
Bryan became national character,
there was opportunity for a patient
Democracy to reap it's reward.
Political seers have said-and there
are none to gainsay their declarations
that Wilson, or any other progressive
Democrat. could have won rs soon as
the word dear was metamorphosized.

T. r. Didn't Lose
Any of His Time.

He began to start things right away.
At the same time Woodrow Wilson be-
gan to assail bosses, predatory persons,
and a protective tariff.
Political wiseacres had it that on this
account Taft could not be reelected
president, and postoffice Jobs being soft,
easy seats, the G. o. P. sought one of
their rank and file who could turn the
trick
Primaries were held, and whenever
the Republicans were given a chance
to express their idea, they picked Mr..
Roosevelt as the one man who could
rescue the party from it's dire distress.
This didn't please Dear WILL" 1t is
commonly believed that he sent word to
postmasters throughout the broad land
that they would quit drawing pay I'M
less they saw the states from which
they hailed safely instructed for a Tat
man from Cincinnati And it is like
wise recorded that they needed his beck
and call
This peeved Colonel Roosevelt. In
fact, when the G. 0. P. met in conven-
ton assembled, ne informed the dele
gates that 1t was nothing but common
robbery. But the delegates liked post
master pay. President Taft was renom
mated. Colonel Roosevelt decided tc
start a new party Of his own. and
Woodrow Wilson was thereby elected.
When Democracy met In Baltimore to
choose candidate, Governor Wilson
was second choice, but his campaign
was handled In mastery fashion He
was nominated and assured of the
| election when he received the two-
thirds of the fervid Democratic vote.

President Taft was not idle in the
meantime 1t Is recorded that he was
acting as first aid to an injured Democ-
racy The G.. 0. p had gone on record
for a revision of the tariff. The @. o.
p, under the direction Of President
Taft, revised it upward instead of
downward, which was contrary to the
general idea the people had of platform
pledges.
In the tariff bill was a schedule called
*" which was peculiarly obnoxious
to the Western farmers, and when this
schedule was passed failing to put wool
on the free list, they arose in their
wrath and demanded the scalp, hide and
everything elise but the smile of Will
liam Howard Taft

turned with a shipload of slain var
