President Wilson is Reelected

Woodrow Wilson has been reelected President the United
States At 1880 o'clock last night the Associated Press
nounced that he had carried California thus assuring him 10Y

After the remarkable in the history of
the country Mr. Wilson has literally snached victory from the

night the tide turned in Mr. Wilson's favor when he began to
pile up heavy vote in the western states Then followed hour
after hour of agonzng uncertainty when the keenest political
observers bafed No could say who would be the
winner All day Wednesday, Wednesday night Thursday
morning and Thursday afternoon the result hung in doubt Only
when Mr. Wilson received CALIFORNIA; 3 electoral votes was
the result of the struggle definitely known
Although close and stubborny fought BATTLE it great
victory for Mr. Wilson and democracy, personal
victory for the himself than the party he represents The

this country war; who has staked his political future
legislation for their benefit and has literally proved by his acts

The surprising feature of the election the way

HOTEL LOBBIES
Out to Win Laure1s

The interest of the south Is attached
to the game Saturday in Atlanta be-
tween the University of Alabama and
Georgia Tech" said Dr. James e. Ded-
man, an Alabama alumni. 81 understand
that Alabama Is in excellent condition
for the game and that Tech, rated as
the strongest team in the south by
many, will also present their most for
midable lineup.
The game, no doubt, will be a good
one. Football critics agree that Tech
has the best team, and consequently
Alabama will go In the battle with
nothing to lose. The majority of the
people have already counted Alabama
out but as long as Coach Kelley is the
instructor OF athletics at Alabama, the
Crimson Will have lighting machine.
"A number of followers of the Grim
son will go to Atlanta to witness the
game, and from what 1 can hear I
firmly believe that Alabama will give
the Tech Yellow Jackets a stiff fight
Kelley and his warriors are out to win
laurels"

THE SECRET OF THE SEA

BY Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
All! what pleasant visions haunt me.
AS 1 gaze upon the sea!
All the old romantic legends.
All my dreams come back to me-
Sails of silk and ropes of sendal,
Such as CLEAN in ancient lore;
And the singing of the sailors,
And the answer from the shore!
Most of all, the Spanish ballad
Haunts me oft and tarries long.
OF the noble Count Arnaldos
And the sailors mystic song.
Telling how the Count Arnaldos.
With his hawk upon his hand.
Saw fair and stately galley
Steering onward to the land.
How he heard the ancient helmsman
Chant a song so wild and clear
That the sailing sea bird lowly
Poised upon the mast to hear,
Till Ills soul was full Of longing,
And he cried with impulse strong
'Helmsman! for the love of heaven.
Teach me, too, that wondrous song!'
"Wouldst thou"-so the helmsman an.
swered,
Learn the secret of the sea?
Only those who brave its dangers
Comprehend its mystery"
In each sail that skins the horizon
In each landyard-blowing
I behold that stately galley,
Hear those mournful meloa
Till my soul is full Of long
For the secret Qf the sea,
And the hsH<t ue great

The Emperor jumps down from his

tens to his telescope, scanning the coun-

whether the missing animal can be de-

The escaped mule is much more impor-
