Atlanta Dope Says Joe

KEN OF AS A STRONG PROB.V
BUiITT.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan, 3.—Tho
talnty that ]Hon. John H. Slaton
•will be in the race tor governor,
coupled with the certainty that
gon. Joseph M. Brown will not be
candidate to succeed himself. Is
causing speculation already as to
■whether or not outer proposed can
didates from toe Joe Brown side
will not voluntarily withdraw from
the arena. In order that the whole
Joe Brown strength may be swung
uinbrokenly tor Mr, Slaton.
Several other , prominent Joe
Brown supporters have been men
tioned. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb coun
ty has said he would run positive
ly. Hon. W. S. West, of Valdosta,
Is seriously considered. So Is J. R.
Smith, 4'ho has been Joe Brown's
successful campaign manager.
With all these men, or even two
or tnree of them In the race, the
Joe Brown leaders argue, It would
probably be an easy matter for op
posing factions to settle' on one
man—say Murphy Candler—and
heat the Held, But with all the
forces of the Joe Brown side be
hind one man, John M. Slaton, It Is
believed, with the present Indica
tion here, that It would be difficult
If not Impossible to beat him.
The m en who make Georgia .poli
tics are discussing these posses of
the situation. In common sense from
both .sides of the fence. It looks now
much as If things will narrow
, before the rebl .fight comes,
to a two man fight, with one can
didate on each side. It Murphy
Candler can be persuaded to run, he
wUI be the leader of the other, .

tomorrow on the chargee of holding
up and robbing the Atlantic Coaat

cently.
The defendants will be represent
ed by Twiggs and Gaxan. It I* ex
pected that the defense will be based
upon the alibi which the defendants
are In hopes of establishing through
the evidence of Mrs. M. W. McFall,
Hardeevllle. with whom they
boarded while there. In s recent
statement Mrs. McFall mads the as
sertion that she was positive that
both men were In their room at the
hour the robbery occurred. ,
While very little of the evidence

Is the belief that the proaecutlon
will depend upon the Identification
of the men by the ciew of the train,
and the articles found In their
room, which are alleged to be the
masks worn by the robbers and char
