FOR ROOSEVELT
That Electoral Vote Of the
South Be Given Him.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov % A direct prop
osition has been made, in good faith, and
Is receiving the support Of many Demo
Gratis Of influence, that the electors Of
all the southern states, cast their votes
In the electoral college for President
Roosevelt.
Julius Brown, son Of Joseph N, Brown,
Georgias famous war governor, who al
forwards was United States senator, has
issued an appeal to the Democrats, in
which he says that President Roosevelt
has been tmiustly attacked on the negro
question, misrepresented in relation TO
the government Of the Philippines and
other public questions; then he says:
Now ! honestly believe, as a Demo
erat, that the best thing for us and for
the South to do is to induce Judge Par
ker and the Democratic national com
mittee TO request the southern electors
to cast their votes for Roosevelt and
make his election unanimous He is q
good man, half southern, and we Of
the South ought to be able to trust
him"

"a, WOULDN'T GIVE NAME
LEST HE DISGRACE FATHER
Later His Parent, Who Is More Than 100
Appeared in Court, and Led His
Maynard Son Away by the
Coat Collar.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. o. Il didn't
give my right name because / didn't
want my father to know that I was
locked up charged with being a vagraut.
Ny father IS an old man, and the dis
grace of hearing that his son was
tramp might kin him."
Such was the excuse given by Michael
Finn for Withholding his name when he
was taken into police court charged with
yagrancy. It was the previous testi-
mony Of the prisoner that influenced the
Judge in viewing Mr.. Firms testimony
with grave doubts. When a man has
sworn to tell the truth, starts in by
testifying that he is eighty.four years
old and winds up by swearing that the
only reason he withholds his own name
Is for fear Of his fathers displeasure,
the credulity of judicial mind is
stretched to the limit.
The improbabliity Of a man eighty
four years old having a father living was
plain, but the bare possibility Of such
a case of longevity should be shown If
lit existed.
Consequently the Judge turned to Mr..
Finn and told him that the workhouse
was no place for man of his age, and
that if his father would appear in court,
substantiate his statements and take
him home the sentence would be sus-
pended.
While Mr. Finn professed such hor-
ror Of his aged parent learning OF the
disgrace put on his SON he had great
er dislike for confinement in the work
house Consequently, when he found
himself between two alternatives he
sent for bis father.
In about an hour the parent entered
the courtroom, grasped his hayward son
lby the coat collar and led him home.
/ Whether he made use of the eonyen-
iient woodshed and the hickory stick is
not yet developed.
/ The father, who must have been more
than one hundred, was as spry as a man
half that age He substantiated all
the prisoners statements.
