Nearly 10000 Voted
In State Wide Primary
Election, Return Show
Nearly Complete Ballot From Entire State Reveals
Sweeping Victory of League Candidates More
Pronounced Than Earlier Indicated.

With the vote Of less than 100 pre-
cincts unreported, these precincts all
being rural and in outlying counties,
returns Of the statewide primary cleo
ton Of June "a indicate that the vote
cast in that election totaled almost
80, ,000-the greatest primary vote the
state has ever witnessed.
Predictions that the Republican vote
would total 10000 were more than
made good, as the precincts now re-
ported show a total Of 1878, and the
returns still to come will boost that
figure to over $4,000. Adding the Dem
ocratic and Socialist vote. the total is
close to 10000.
In view of the fact that many voters
remained at home because of heavy
storms that broke during the day, the
vote is remarkable. The Republican
ballot, If adverse weather conditions
had not prevailed, would have passed
the $4,000 mark.

given the railroads until Thursday to

In addition, the men ask time and

Sundays and holidays, and complete
recognition of the union. The de-
mands were submitted to % rail-

Sam Gompers, in his speech to the
freight handlers, said in part:

to work with the men who employ
us, but we wish to work with them
as man to man. We do not wish to
approach them in pleading and sup

we desire, what we think we ought to
have; that we believe the profits of
their business warrants them paying
us better wages and all owing us bet

respect our employers, but at the
same time we wish them to respect
us. Singly we cannot accomplish
this. It is possible only through or
