LIKE HARMON

To Head The Democratic
Ticket—Result of The
State Elections

gressman Brantley of Georgia and
New York, Massachusetts and TJttreF
Washington tjmjghjt; expressed the
opinion that yesterday's elections In
Ne wYork, Massachusetts and other
state* spells '"Harmon."
✓ "I cannot see that the result of
the elections means anything else
than Gov. Harmon becoming the
nominee of the Democratic party for
the presidential nomination," said
M|-. Brantley. “Any one else who
will take the trouble to read the
papers of today and see the result
must, I believe, come to the same
conclusion."

posted men on political affairs and
hls statement should be given weight.

that Harmon is the man who will be •
named as the next standard bearer

else."

KILLED JOHN GAYNOR
At Preliminary Hearing
Davis. Was Held For
Trial Without Bond
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 9.—Joseph B
Davis, the selftoonfessed slayer ot
John H. Gay nor on Congress street
Monday night is now confined in the
Chatham county jail on a fharge of
murder. He was held without ball
by Recorder Schwarz after he Had
heard Davis' story of the shooting.
The provocation for shooting Gay
nor, according to Davis was thatr after
having had their trouble in Verikus
saloon and after Gaynor and his
friends hnd left he approached them
on Congress Btroet and Gaynor said
“There comes the :—*—now".
This Davis said was more than he
could hear especially as he had just
had his face slapped with some open
bills Gaynor held in his hand in the
saloon. He went .up to him and shot
him In the shoulder and the bullet
pickcing his heart. Davis told hls
story with little show of emotion and
seemed to think that the insult of.
fered him in the saloon and the epi
thet applied to him cn the street
were enough to justify the inking of
Gaynor's life.
The men who were with Gaynor
when he was shot say Davis was. mis
taken In believing that,be hid'; beei
ursod by the former. They say
Gaynor did not say anything about
Davis.
The grand jury Is to men* this af
ternoon to consider Davis' case.
