GEORGIA ALL DEMOCRATIC

Wilson Carries State—State Officers and Legislature of Same Faith. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 6.—Georgia has returned all of her Democratic congressmen. The state house officials have all been elected and are Democratic. The legislature is strictly Democratic, not a Repcblican or Progressive being returned. Wilson carries the state by two to one majority. Tenth congresional district went for Wilson by seven to one orer all other candidates. The Socialist vote throughout the state is practice a]ly nothing. Rcosevelt received more popular vot-s than President Taft, due to the influence of Tom Watson, who deserted Wilson two weeks ago, charging that Wilson had joined the Knights of Columbus. Watson’s following as thrown into the Progressive column by this nieans and caused the Republican vote given Taft four years ago (41, 692) to be cut nearly in half.
