MR.. R00sEYELI'S5 AMBITION
q REPORTED AS SAYING He
WOULD RUN AGAIN IF HE K
Il COULD, CARRY a. SOUTH.
ERIN STATE.

ATLANTA. Jude ee.-There is a
persistent report among politicians
herethat on Georgia day at the James.
town Exposition President Roosevelt
said:
III j could be positively assured Of
the; electoral vote Of a single Southern
siatel would gladly be candidate
for the Presidency next year"
MIR, Roosevelt made his declaration.
according to reports, to John Temple
Graves, following the wave Of good
feeling attendant upon the dedication
Of the Georgia building. which is a
replica Of the home of the Presidents
mother at Roswell.
Mr., Roosevelt was carried away
with enthusiasm, and Georgians who
we're present. among whom were
many well known politicians, shared
this enthusiasm. 1t was a love feast:
political issues and party lines were
forgotten; each man was toastlng the
other, and all were toustIng the Presi-
dent,
Soon after this display Of enthu.
siasm, John Temple Graves went 10
President Roosevelt, 1t Is said, and
urged him to run for another term.
Mr.. Roosevelt, It is said, was moved
by the plea, but recalled the prom.
ise made to the public following his
election in 1901. Then the President,
II isreported, said that only one thing
would cause him 10 change his deter.
limitation in this respect. that II he
could be assured positively of the
electoral vote Of single Southern
istate--if he could break the solid
south-he would be candidate for =
third term.
President Roosevelt spoke at some
length on the solid South; 1t is sald,
and declared It should be broken, and
that he would never run again except
he could be assured that his candl.
dacy would change the South from one
way Of voting,
According 10 reports Graves assured
Mr.. Roosevelt that he could carry
Georgia and probably two or three
other States, and 1t is said that a
promise was given to the President TO
attempt to stampede Georgia at the
proper time.

SAMPSON sQUABBLE
 SETTLED BY COURT

county Judge James Gould to- day issued an order directing that Belle Sampson continue 10 act as guardian of her mothers proDertv and that the mother remain in the custody and under the care of Fan- lie Sampson. her sister The two negro women have been fighting fo., some weeks for the custody of the:y mother, who is aged and feeble minded. Several days ago, it is alleged, Belle Sampson secured q warrant for her sister, Fannie, charging her with lunacy. When the officers took Fannie from her home, the complainant went there and carried her mother away in l carriage. Fannie was dismissed in court and the trouble was carried to the county court before Judge James Gould to be aired. It seems that the mother is possessed of some valuable real estate in this city and that both of her girls, neither of whom have good reputations, are trying to influence her into be- queatning the property to them. Judge Gould has taken charge of the property and will permit Fannie to support her mother with the in- come from same. The hearing at tracted many negroes to the court room.
