Pope Brown, but not Joe.

Atlanta. Ca, Sept. 21-Campaign
headquarters of Col. j. Pope Brown
have been opened up at the Aragon
hotel in this city, and full corps
of clerks and secretaries is already
busily engaged in the Office work
attendant upon the aggressive cam
paign that the prohibition canda-
date is conducting. The supporters
of Pope Brown are growing daily
more and more enthusiastic, and
are out with the prediction that
their candidate viii lead under the
wire in the gubernatorial race by a
wide margin,
Some political busy-body started
the rumor that there had been a
deal framed up between former
governor Joe Brown and Col. J.
Pope Brown in connection with the
governors race. 1t was said that
Ben, F. Perry, Col. Pope Browns
campaign manager, ex-senator Ter
rell Ex-Governor Brown and H. Il.
Turner had been seen in close con-
verse and the conclusion was inn
mediateIy arrived at that there was
something doing" between the can
didates.
AS soon as this report reached
| Col. Pope Brown he ran down the rr-
NOR and discovered that Senator
Terrell was considering the purchase
of some property Of the late Julius
Brown, the supposed Ben Perry was
the prospective purchaser, and that
Governor Brown was being advised
regarding the proposition by Sena-
tor Terrell, as his lawyer. And
that was all. Col. Brown will
speak at Trenton, Dade county, this
afternoon.
Politicians in the state capital
say that Ex-Governor Brown has
waited too long, that he missed the
psychological moment, and that by
his procrastination in announcing
his candidacy he has ruined what
ever chances of election he might
have had. In the opinion of the
politically wise" in this city there
would be no earthly use in Joe
Brown entering the race at this late
date, and now they say that the
former governor is well aware OF
this. The supporters of Judge Rus
sell are quietly but earnestly hoping
that Joe Brown will decide not to
come into the contest now, because
they realize that he would merely
take votes from their candidate
without weakening the strength of
their real competitor, Pope Brown.
1t may be that Little Joe" will not
announce at all.

tial speech in Atlanta. in the inter
