Speeding Maniac Is Run Dorn By Officers Near Forest City After blazing a fiery trail across the city and county through heavy traffic and the milling election crowds, Ed Davis, said to be from Miami, Florida, was very peaceful in Recorder’s Court this morning. Davis was charged with reckless and drunken driving and with as saulting an officer, who had to shoot his tires down, then chase him across a field to arrest him in a hand to hand combat. It began Saturday night when night officer L. S. Cooke got a call that some driver had hit another auto containing women and child ren. Officer Cook chased the speed j ing car to the Shelby hospital where the escapee ran over a highway sign, then wheeleu around, back through the election crowds and out Highway 20.

Second Primary Is Not Likely t Whether there will be second pri mary or not is left for Dr. McDon ald to determine. He has given out no statement as to his attitude in the matter up to noon today. Two state contests were undecid ed. Neither one of the candidates for Governor or lieutenant gover nor has a majority of the votes cast. The second place candidate for lieu tenant governor could request a run-off, but this office has honor and no pay except the pay of a member of the General Assembly. It is hardly probable that the sec ond man in this race will ask for a run off. It will be recalled that Dr. Mc Donald asked his opponents one week ago to agree to a “high man win” proposition. They declined at the time. It was taken by many to be an admission on Dr. McDonald’s part of his impending defeat and Inability to continue a campaign for another month, or his extreme confidence in the newspaper poll which indicated that he would be high man in the first primary. In the event there is a second pri mary, however, it would fall on In dependence Day, July 4th.
