Davis Talks of
Record of G. 0. p. in
Cleveland Address

Cleveland, Ohio. Oct. 23.-John w.
Davis, Democratic candidate for presi-
dent. stood tonight on the platform
where President Coolidge was nominal
ed by the Republican national conven-
ton and interpreted what he said was
the one issue of the presidential cleo
ton contest-"the record of the Repub-
lican party during it's present lease OF
power"
The candidate began his analysis by
referring to the control of the legisla-
tive power which he declared was as
sumed by the Republican party in 1918.
Mr.. Davis, however, was not permit
ted to proceed far before a heckler in
the audience demanded to know what
his attitude was in regard to the ku
klux Khan.
az do not believe" Mr.. Davis an
swefed. that there is any man or
woman in the United States interested
in the outcome Of this election who
does not know my position"
For the information of the question
err. though, Mr.. Davis departed from
the subject he had been discussing to
add:
Il stand for the fundamental CUR
antees in favor of religious faith and
practices in the United States and
against any threat to diminish the
right OF any man because of his choice
to accept the religion he learned at his
mothers knee"

Two Escape Gallows
Companions Must
Hang for Murder

Ottawa, Oct. 23-NIike Valentino
and Leo Davis will remain behind
in the death cell when their four
companions in banditry go forth to
the Bordeaux Jail gallows at Mon
treal at dawn tomorrow to hang for
the murder of an armored car driver
during the $4,000 bank Of Hochelaga
robbery.
The sentence of death imposed up
on Valentino and Davis was commu-
ted to life Imprisonment today at an
emergency sitting OF the cabinet.
Further than to save the lives of
these two the cabinet refused to in
terfere with the scheduled executions.
1t was held that the reprived men
had been mere tools in the robbery
and murder. Tony Frank. Louis
Morrel, Giuseppe Serafini and Frank
Cambino are to be hanged.
Petitions which caused the cabinet
hastily to assemble for an extra ses-
zion were circulated in Montreal by
friends Of the condemned who work.
ed all yesterday and last night in a
desperate effort to have the convict
ions reviewed.
The supreme court had denied Da-
Wis appeal for a new trial on the
ground that he lacked Jurisdiction in
the case. Counsel for Davis then
announced 1t would plead with the
minister OF Justice for d communication
of sentence and new trial.
In the meantime the cabinet was
asked. in the petitions which lifted
the death sentence from both Davis
and Valentino. to postpone their ex-
ecution until new evidence could be
introduced or. the cases Of both men
could be laid before the privy coun-
ell
