Wants TO Make IL Unanimous.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 2l.-Jslius Brown,
a son of the late Joseph NJ. Brown,
Georgia's war governor, and also United
States Senator for years, is out in card
proposing that the electors of all southern
states vote for Roosevelt and make bis
election unanimous. He makes this
proposition, because he says Roosevelt
has been uujustly attacked on the negro
question also on the Philippines, and
in fact on all public questions. Brown
says: "Now, | honestly believe, as a
democrat, that the best thing for us the
South, to do, is for Judge Parker and the
democratic executive committee to re-
quest the southern electors to cast their
votes for President Roosevelt, and make
his election unanimous. He is good
man, half southern, and we of the South
ought to be able to trust him."

COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS
GARFIELD and others of prominence in
the administration deny that the Presi-
dent had issued orders for the investiga-
ton of The Standard Oil Company by the
Bureau of Corporations. The position
Of the administration on this matter OF
investigating the trusts and combines, as
defined by those in position to know,
is that under the law creating the Blu
roam of Corporations the whole field GOV
cred BY concerns engaged in interstate
commerce must be gone over by the Blu
reau of Corporations, AMI all facts relat-
ing to their operations collected for the
Inflammation of the President and Con
gress. 1t is obvious that in the pursuit
of this programme the Standard Oli
Comnany will sooner or later be inyesti-
gated by the agents of the Bureau OF
Corporations, as has already been done
in the case of the beef trust. These IN
yestigations will not be specially directed
against any particular corporation, but
will include all facts relating to the gen.
eral industries in which the corporations
are engaged. In other words, The inves'
tigation will be of the industries, ana
not of the corporations. If it IS found
that the corporations are pursuing Iliegal

A NUMBER Of Virginia papers have
reproduced an editorial which recently
appeared in the Gazette concerning
Representative Crumpacker's scheme to
reduce the South's representation in the
electoral college and in Congress, and
suggest that his plan, ifcarried out, would
affect some of the northern States, nota-
bly, Massachusetts, aud Oregon, as much
as it would the States south Of Mason

get that republican Congresses make

Raid on Gambling House.

After weeks of guarding gambling
houses and social clubs the police of Nor.
folk last night made two raids on Sun
day clubs, securing about sixty-five pris-
Oners. For some time past the proprie-
tors of fashionable gambling houses have
openly defied the police and have invited
them to raid their places. Officers de-
tailed for the purpose have nightly visit
ed the gambling hou es, but did aot
make any arrests, only taking the names
of those they found playing. Chief
Boush Sunday week placed an officer on
duty at the door of every gambling house
to take the name of each patron entering
and it is expected that these names will
figure during the coming session Of the
Corporation Court when the evidence
secured will be presented to the grand
jury. Particular attention has also been
psid to social clubs, and last night the
National Club, in the heart of the bust.
ness section of the city, was visited by
a big squad of police, and twenty-three
members were arrested. Later the Union
League Club, 10 the colored residential
section, was visited and forty six patrons
were taken into custody, one OF them
being white man.
