Woodrow Wilson wins.

Woodrow Wilson wins.
That's not news to you in this paper
this afternoon, but it might be inter
esting to know how it all came about.
The Times-Recorder had promised that
the fire whistle would blow when the
result became known-and it did blow
last night.
The Associated Press, the greatest
news gathering agency on earth, gave
the first official news that said, Will
son carries California and wins" To
show the difference, the news was
flashed about o'clock last night that
Wilson had won-by the Hearst SER
vice. The folks here greeted with a
grain of salt, and it was very we'll
that they did, for it was premature.
The Times-Recorder is proud to say
that she is member of the Associated
Iress. Perhaps, some of our readers

WILSON AND WIFE ARE
COMPLETELY HAPPY

RHINE CLIFF, N. Y, Nov. TO-
President Wilson seemed completely
happy as he and Mrs. Wilson landed
here this afternoon from the naval
yacht Mayflower, on board which they
had been cruising since Tuesday They
are en- route to Williamson, n. Y,
where the president goes to act as god
father at the christening of the sec
ond child of his daughter, Mrs. Francis
Bowie Sayre.
News of his reelection had been
sent the president by wireless before
the Mayfower landed here, and a large
and enthusiastic assemblage of citi-
zens gathered to greet him and extend
formal congratulations.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-With fifty
two precincts out this afternoon
Hughes had lead OF no votes over
Wilson in Minnesota, while Wilson led
Hughes in New Mexico by 2,233, with
seventy precincts unreported and in
New Hampshire, the president had a
plurality of 239 on the face of the GER
tilted returns, with II precincts miss
ing.
Minnesota and New Hampshire COM
lined have sixteen electoral votes, and
conceding that Hughes has carried
both states, democratic observers here
state the final result will not be af-
fected thereby, inasmuch as President
Wilson now has 269 votes, or sufficient
to elect, while Hughes, including Min
nesota and New Hampshire, among the
republican states, has only 259, or z
votes less than necessary. This calcu-
lation is based on California having
gone solid for Wilson, and leaves the
three electoral votes of New Mexico
still classed as doubtful.

COUNCIL GETS A
BIC MAJORITY
IN CITY PRIMARY

Lee G. Council was nominated for
mayor of the city of Americus for the
two-year term beginning January list,
1917 in the Democratic primary yes
terday over Lee Allen by majority Of
222. The result was: Council, 49S;
Allen, 276.
The result of yesterdays primary
means that the Democrats of the city
will ratify their action at the polls
yesterday by electing Mr.. Council in
December. The decision of the pri-
mary virtually re-elects Mr.. Council
for his second term as mayor of the
city.
The three aldermen chosen are e. l..
Bell, H. B. Mashburn and Hugh L.
Mize. The vote in this race was: E.
L. Bell, 5S9; H. B. Mashburn, 499; H.
L. Mize, 495; H. o. Jones, 4S2; S. L.
Hammond, 300.
Doc Eldridge was the easy winner
in the final result for clerk and treas
Grer. The final vote was: Doc Ed.
ridge, 3O5; Frank j. Payne, zoe; E. w.
Tullis, 201; A. L. Rees, At.
H. C. Horton and j. L. Sparks were
named as police commissioners, and
the results were: H. C. Horton, 456;
J. L. Sparks, 434; Tucker Ansrey, 1862;
Allen Chappell, 374.
The races were closely contested
during yesterday, but close observers
at the end of the day ventured predic-
tons which were borne out in the final
results.
The complexion of the mayor and
city council remains virtually the same
with the people assured of fine body
of business men in charge of the af-
fairs Of the city during these times.

California CIinched Election Result.

NafIOrnh OuHcneU ELECTION Result.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-President
Wilson was reelected president of the
nited States when the state of Cali
fornia, with thirteen ele ;toral votes,
swung definitely into tn democratic
column this morning, thccgh Mime
sofa, New Hampshire and New Mex
leo. with total electoral vote of nine
teen continued doubtful. Wilson will
undoubtedly carry New Mexico, how
ever, unless there be a decided over
turn of the democratic majority by
returns from the few missing districts
there, and the three electoral votes Of
that state are generally conceded as
for Wilson.
At noon today Hughes, the republi-
can candidate, continued to lead in
Minnesota, where it is said the result
may be ultimately determined by the
vote of Minnesota national guardsmen
now stationed on the Texas border,
and whose votes will not be counted
until the state canvassing board meets
next Tuesday.
1t is believed here that the official
count will be necessary to decide

HUGHES HAS THE EDGE IN THE
STATES OF NEW TIAMP., MINI.
Wonderful Triumph Of Wilson Is
Assured By Accurate Figures
With Votes To Spare

whether Wilson or Hughes has carried
New Hampshire, the state still being
claimed by both democrats and repub-
licans, but leaving New Hampshire
out of the calculation altogether, I'M
less Californias electoral vote be di-
yided, which early today seemed pos
sible, Wilson is assured of 269 votes,
or three more than necessary to insure
election, with Hughes having only 243,
or twenty-three less than are needed
to name him president of the United
States.
Political wiseacres who figured the
result of Tuesdays election from many
angles, announced today that Wilson
could lose New Mexico altogether and
three votes from California and still
win, this conclusion being based on
the assumption that Hughes carried
both Minnesota and New Hampshire,
though the the official count in the lat.
ter state Will be necessary to decide
the election there, and the count in
Minnesota is exceedingly close. The
Minnesota national guardsmen, who
participated in the election, cast their
ballots at their respective stations on
he Mexican border, and because of
the narrow lead maintained by Hughes
in the home-cast vote, their vote, it is
believed, will decide the result there.
In consequence the Minnesota result
is not likely to be definitely announced
Until after the state canvassing board
meets next Tuesday and gives the
official results to the public.

Reference to a division of Califor-
lia's electoral vote is generally inter-
treted as there being possibility that
certain republican electors may have
run ahead of their ticket" in which
event these individual electors would
be declared elected, their vote being
cast, of course, for Hughes. There is
little probability, however, that this
has occurred in more than one or two
Instances at the greatest, which, as in

MECCA FOR SHOW
FOLKS As SOME
co AND COME TOD

The first of the advance cars of the
John Robinson circus, which is billed
to appear in Americus Wednesday.
Nov. %, arrived here yesterday morn
ing and is now deserted When it ar
rived it contained 2S men, they have
gone. Some to New York, Chicago,
New Orleans, San Francisco, in fact to
places that are too numerous to men
tion.
The men, after doing their last
days work, were all assembled and
paid off, and this morning could be
seen on the various corners in small
groups, discussing their past expert
ences, and what they were going to do
this coming winter. The merchants
were very much benefited by the clos
ing of the advance car here, as the ma
jority of the men bought their winters
apparel before they left the city. This
afternoon will find them pretty we'll
dispersed, except the car manager and
his secretary, who will be here until
Saturday at least, going over and bal
ancing the books of the past season.
1t does not matter how clean and up
to the minute the books are kept dur
ing the course of a season, when the
final day comes, the books are gone
over very carefully and the accounts
are all verified, and everything is re-
corded and filed away for future ref
erences.
The Next Cars.
Now that the first section has come
and gone, we are looking forward to
the approach of the Number Two and
Three cars, which we are informed
will arrive about Tuesday. They, too,
Will go through the same routine, and
the men will be paid off, and then will
make their way to their homes or to
places better known as the winter
abode" AS a rule the men do not
work in the winter months; they usu-
ally save their salary and leave it In
the Golfers of the show until the final
day and are then paid off in full, and
after buying their necessary clothes,
etc, and their railroad fares they have
enough left in which to lay around
and enjoy a rest that is well-earned in
their seasons campaign.
After the advance cars are all in,
then comes the main attraction. the
show in itself. The payroll for twenty
eight men in the advance means a to-
tai Of $1,000 and it can be easily seen
that with the people numbering in the
total thousand people, will easily
reach the 100000 mark.
The people with the show will most
ly remain here in winter quarters,
animal men, trainers, keepers, and all
the workingmen will be kent all dur
irg the winter. The big acts will, no
doubt, take to their homes for a few
weeks and will then report Immediate
ly after Christmas to rehearse and
practice for the coming season.
We are all looking forward to the
22nd day of the month, when we will
he able to realize our one sole ambi-
tion, that of seeing the circus and
having it as part of our city for the
long, weary winter months.
The animal sheds and grounds win
be thrown open to the public all WIN
ter and it will prove very interesting
tc those who are bit inclined to be
interested in the workings and well
fare of big tented amusement ag-
gregation such as is the John Robin
soncircus.
