Q. How long have you been in the liquor business?
A. Well, ever since I was a boy. My folks were in business the time I come over here and I was twelve years old then.
Q. How old are you now?
A. Thirty-six.
Q. Well, what object did you have in following around and trying to meet Theodore Roosevelt?
A. Well, because I have been reading history and following up history and I have seen that this man Roosevelt is trying to break one of the old established traditions of the country, calling it a third termer, which he has no right to; he can create a third party and create all the offices, but to nominate himself it was absolutely out of the way and I think today that it is absolutely unnecessary to establish now and have the third tradition to exist and not to be violated by anybody.
Q. Well, what did you have in mind to do when you went around in these different places?
A. I had in mind to meet him and he escaped me every time; he escaped me in Atlanta and Chattanooga.
Q. He escaped what?
A. He has not come the way I expected, he did not come out the way I expected; if he goes in a hall today and speaks in a hall and he come in this way or that way he goes out a different way and the man got away.
