HERRlCK FOR GOVERNOR.
New York Democrats Chose Their
Standard Bearer at state Conven-
ton Held In Saratoga.

The New York state democratic con-
vention in session at Saratoga We'd
pesday nominated the following state
ticket:
For Governor-D. Cady Herrick, OF
Albany, at present a justice of the
supreme court.
Lieutenant 0overnor-Francis Bur
ton Harrison, New York now rep
reSentative in congress from the
Thirteenth district.
Comptroller-George Hall, Of St.
Lawrence.
State Treasurer-Williana Muench,
of Owondaga.
Judge of the Court Of Appeals-Ed-
gar M. Cutler, Kings (democratic).
Fer Associate Judge of the Court OF
Appeals-William c. Werner, Monroe
republican,, now of that bench by
designation by Governor Odell and the
republican nominee.
Out of a situation which at times
seemed almost impossible of amicable
solution; the leaders Of the party
found a way to unanimous action, and
at 1928 o'clock wednesday afternoons
the state convention adjourned after
having nominated unanimously the
above ticket.
Former United States Senator Da-
vid B. Hill presented to the convention
the name of Supreme Court Justice
Daniel Cady Herrick, Of Albany. Judge
Herricks name was received with
great enthusiasm and Endorsed with
cordial speeches of support by repre-
sentatives of three of the elements
whose attitude had been an important
factor in the serious situation which
had formed the subject of the confer
ence. Incidentally Senator Hill was
accorded reception which was little
less than an ovation.
A notable feature of the convention
was the disappearance Of all open evil
dence of the factional warfare between
the Kings county organization headed
by State Senator McCarren and Tam
many hall under the leadership OF
Charles F. Murphy.
The platform adopted includes d.
rect personal attack upon Governor
Odell az we'll as a Remuneration of the
republican administration, an indorse-
ment of the democratic national ticket,
platform and resolutions and a strong
ly worded discussion of state and ma
tional issues from the democratic
point of view.

RELEASED A MURDERER.
Atlanta Police Captain Ignores Arrest
Made by a BaiIiff.

Made by a BaiIlff.
Owing to the fact that Captain
Thompson, of the Atlanta police force,
discharged a negro charged with muir
der who had been arrested by ]. G..
Etheridge, a bailiff in Judge Orr's
court, and Policeman D. F. Cook,
charges will be preferred against the
captain, according to. Bailiff Etheridge.
Etheridge is a bailiff in the court
of Justice of the Peace Orr at Allan
ia. He acted as chief of police in
Winder, Ca, for three years, and has
served in the same capacity in Social
Circle, Ca, for three years, and IN
Monroe, Ca, for one year.
Etheridge states that Thursday night
he was informed by negro whom no
knew and trusted that Jim Davis, an
other negro, wanted for the murder OF
a negro, committed in 1900, in Walton
county, Georgia, was in the colored
waiting room at the union station.
He first found Policeman Cook and
told him of the presence of the negro,
for whom a reward of $3.50 was offer
ed. He promised to divide the reward
with Policeman Cook if he would aid
in the capture.
The bailiff and the officer went into
the colored waiting room, and finding
Davis there arrested him at once. He
was sent down to the police station IN
the patrol wagon and charge of sus-
picion was docketed against him.
AS soon as he was off duty, Police
man Cook went down to the police sta
ton and informed Captain Thompson
of the charge against the negro. 1t is
stated that Captain Thompson did not
place much reliance in Mr. Etheridge,
and finally decided to set the prisoner
free.
The arrest was made about o'clock.
The negro was released a little after
IL o'clock.
In the meantime Bailiff Etheridge
had telegraphed Sheriff Arnold, Of
Walton county, asking him to come to
Atlanta and get Jim Davis. Before
the sheriff reached the city Etheridge
knew that the alleged murderer had
been released, but as matter Of form
Sheriff Arnold, on his arrival went
down to the station and demanded his
prisoner.

LEGISLATOR BADLY CUT.
Political Opponents Engage In Fight
Which May Prove Fatal and
Bring on More Trouble.

DR.. ]. N. Spence, representative
from Ware county, Ca, was seriously
stabbed by J. r. Mcdonald, near
Waresboro, Friday afternoon, and It
Is stated that his Injuries may prove
fatal, as one Of the wounds Is almost
through his lungs. DR.. Spence was
stabbed four times, once Ia his left
breast, once In the hip and again from
the stomach down his leg. The most
serious stab is in the back.
DIR. Spence is the democratic noml-
nee from Ware county and is opposed
by Mcdonald as an independent The
latter represented Ware county six
years ago and has been a candidate
for reelection at every primary since
For years there has been bad feeling
between the men. The report of the
row is that DR.. Spence went to Nc
Donald's home for the purpose of fore
ing him to sign an affidavit withdraw
ing certain charges made against him
by Mcdonald.
1t is said that Spence drew a revolv.
er and informed Mcdonald that ne
would kill him unless the affidavits
were signed.
A friend was in the buggy with DR..
Spence, and when the pistol was
drawn he caught hold of the doctors
arm. Mcdonald then sprang upon
Spence, and while his friend was hold
ing him to prevent Mcdonald from
being shot, the stabbing was done. 1t
is also claimed that friend of Nc
Donald's was present and held pis-
toll on Spence while Mcdonald was
stabbing him.
Both Spence and Mcdonald have
large family connections, and 1t is be-
lieved that there will be further trou'
BILE.

DAVIS OPENS CAMPAIGN.
Democratic Vice Presidential Candi-
date Fires First Gun In His own
state Of West Virginia.

The democratic campaign in West
Virginia was opened at Wheeling by
Hon.. Henry q. Davis, the vice presi-
Dental candidate. Mr. Davis arrived
from his home at Elkins Wednesday
night, accompanied by Hon. Charles
A. Towne, of New York; Hon. George
T. MoGraw and Hon. William p.
Campbell, who are leaders Of the West
Virginia democracy, and other promi-
nent democrats of TIE state. There
was a general gathering of democrats
from all sections of the state Thurs
day for an informal conference.
Mr.. Davis announced that it was not
his intention to make many speeches
while on his tour over the country
campaigning II am not much of a
speaker and rather dislike the task,
said Mr.. Davis. MY intention is to
get around among the people and meet
them with as little public speechmak-
ing as possible. We have with us
here Senator Charles A. Towne, wno
is one of the most able orators I know
of. He will be with me for a short
time. He will do the public meeting
talking, and 1t will be my aim to meet
as many voters personally as is
possible. l make more friends in that
way than by getting up before an au-
dience and making a speech"
Following are extracts from Mr.. Da-
Wis speech. In composing the two
great parties, he said:
"The democratic party always ad-
ministered the government with pru-
dence and economy. The republican
party is party of extremists and has
expenditure of government funds.
More money is being collected in the
form of taxes than is necessary for
an economical management of the
government, both national and state,
and if the republican party is contin-
ued in power still larger taxes and
greater expenses will follow, as their
leaders tell US they propose to pursue
the same policy in the future they
have in the past"
After citing the tariff on coal as evil
dence against a protective tariff, ne
continued:
THAT the tariff, as a whole, needs
revision Is plainly manifest. Combined
as it is at present with trusts, it per
mits Of too large profit on many arti-
cles Of production, stiles individual
enterprise, brings on strikes and dis
turbs generally the business interests
of the country. Nanny manufacturers
under present conditions sell their
goods cheaper abroad than at home"
He regretted that the national plat
form of the republican party raised
the race issue, and continued:
"The southern people, who have to
bear the burden of this question, were
dealing with it in moderation and fair
ness; but its unfortunate agitation by
republican leaders has made it's solu
ton much more difficult and hindered
the efforts of those who were honestly
striving to aid the colored people IN
uplifting their race. A large majority,
over a million, Of the white voters Of
this country are democrats. Mckinley
received S64,000 more votes than Bry
an and this was the largest majority
ever given a presidential candidate.
There are, however, as shown by the
last census, two million male negroes
in the United States of voting age"
