Federation Gives Weller 55 Per
Cent, and Smith 25-"Cholce
of Two Evils"

BALTIMORE, Sept. ia choice
between two evils" from the labor
standpoint. was made yesterday BY
the State Political League OF the
Maryland Federation OF Labor be-
tween the two candidates for the
United States Senate. Senator John
Walter Smith received a rating OF 20
per cent on his record and Ovington
E. Weller received a rating OF 80 per
cent on his answer to the labor ques-
tionnaire.
Although the league disclaims any
political affiliation and avoids any po-
litical party propaganda and sedu-
lously avoids mention OF either RE
publican" or Democrat" in its politi-
cal campaign material, its slogan will
be vote for the Man with the High
est Percentage"
WILL PUT UP Posters.
The political ratings were made
public by Henry Il. Broening, chair
man Of the league, after a joint meet
ing OF the league with the executive
committee OF the State federation, OF
which Francis Drum, OF Cumberland,
Is chairman, at the Drivers and Bot
tiers Hall. The ratings will be sent
out by Secretary Joseph Gillis to ALI
unions In the city and State.
Posters with these iat.Lsp, and the
slogan. will be placed in conspicuous
places in union meeting places and
other spots likely to catch the eye OF
the labor man. The railroad brother
hoods are not directly affiliated with
the. Federation of Labor, but are rep
resented in the State Political League
and had a voice in fixing the ratings

there would be no active campaign
ing for labor candidates" and no
other political propaganda issued, it
was expected that a majority of the
members of the federation unions
would be Influenced by the ratings
and vote accordingly.
He estimated the strength of the
labor vote in Maryland to be 100000
men and women, not counting the
railroad brotherhoods, but admitted
that many of them were too firmly
welded to their political parties to
vote according to the ratings.
In the Congressional fight between
Zihlman and Mish the choice was not
between two evils, but between two
pretty good labor candidates. Zihl-
man, on his record in Congress, re-
ceived a rating of rs per cent. Mish,
on the answers to the questionnaire,
received 88 plus. In both instances
it is apparently easier to promise
than to perform. In regard to all
other candidates the ratings given
them for the primaries stand for the
general election also.
At the meeting were representa-
tives from Garrett, Allegany, Wash
ington, Wicomico. Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties and Balti-
more city. 1t is understood that the
action was unanimous.
Official notice of the ratings given
the Presidential candidates by the
American Federation of Labor has
not yet ben received. so action on
the Presidential election was post
poned until a later meeting.

McRde's Opponents
 COncede His Election

The Arkansas Gazette this morn ing says:
 Ex-Congressman Thomas c. Nc Rae has won the democratic guber- material nomination and will be the next governor of Arkansas. All his opponents except Smead Powell who is second in the race, have conceded his nomination. The Powell head quarters here have been closed and the workers have scattered. Some of the best known of these have ad- mitted for two days that Powell was defeated.
 Today county central committees throughout the state will gather to canvass the vote. Thus far, the Gazette has accounted for 129,8 votes in the gubernatorial race. Re turns were slow in coming in yes- terday. Many Gazette correspond ents reported that the election of ficials knowing the way the various counties had voted in the various races, would give out no more if gures until after the vote is can vassed today. In the figures receiv- ed yesterday and last night, Mo Rae maintained his lead, and there is no chance for Powell to win This morning the vote is: McRae 37,550; Powell, 25,963; Terral, 22- 848; Floyd, 17,495; Haynie, IA 348; Walsh, 4,345; Riggs, 3,742; Stroupe, 2,170; Wells, 1,410. The vote of Poinsett and Missis- sippi counties is not in. Mississippi will give Powell majority but not so large as was expected by Powell supporters. Poinsett also will give Powell a majority, but it will not be sufficient to make any material change in the result.
 Other State Races
 The other state officers elected are: Hopper, who defeated Car gile for secretary of state. The figures in this race this morning are Hopper, 62,657; Cargile, 29,- 218,
 Tucker has won the race for state aditor. The figures in this race are: Tucker, 33,848; McAmis, 1892; Johnson, 17,819; Rieff, 15,- 592.
 Chief Justice McCulloch has been renominated. He has this morning: 57,255 votes to 39,057 for Coston, his opponent.
 Utley for, attorney general has defeated Bohlinger. The vote of this race this morning is: Utley, 59,997; Bohlinger, 33,264.
 Wilson has defeated Owen for highway commissioner. The vote in this race is: Wilson, 60,79S; Owen 1862.
The courier-index., 1920-08-13

There were races in four of the seven congressional districts in the state and in three of these races the incumbents had opposition. The race in the Sixth District, where Congressman Taylor was opposed by Sawyer, is close, and twill TO. be settled until the vote is canvass ed though Taylor people are cer- tain that Taylor has been re-nom- mated. In the First district where five men are contending for the seat held by MT. Caraway, Judge w. J. Driver of Osceola has been nominated.
 In the Second district Congress man Oldfield has a good lead and apparently is nominated. In the Seventh district Congressman Good win has been renominated.
 The Senatorial Race
 Senator Kirby yesterday conced- ed his defeat by Congressman Cara way. In this race 125,782 votes have been accounted for. Caraway has 70,642, and Kirby 46,040. Mir. Caraway returned to his home at Jonesboro yesterday and was given big reception.
 Senator Kirby's statement con- ceding his defeat follows:
 "The battle has gone against me. The people were misled. 1 was not able to overcome the prejudices en- gendered during the war by the false and misleading statement and criticism of my attitude and conduct toward it's prosecution, aggravated by the continued advertisement thereof, the use of an enormous campaign fund and the distortion of the record of my service"
 Statements From Candidates
 MT. McRae yesterday received congratulatory messages from Judge Floyd and Judge Haynie, who were candidates against him. MT. Floyd's son, in charge of the campaign, issued the following statement:
 'The returns show that Mir. Me Rae is the democratic party's choice for governor. My father, however, has won his fight to the extent of helping defeat ring rule in Arkan- sas politics, and while we are dis appointed that we did not win, we feel that MT. McRae administration will be along the lines planned by my father and that the state af- fairs will be ably conducted during the next four years; and we at this time pledge our hearty support in helping make his administration the success we believe it will be. We are under lasting obligations for the untiring efforts of our loyal friends, who stood by us to the last and in no instance were we de- serted, as was reported last Mon day.D
 Tom Terral, who ran third in the race, issued the following statement last night: "It is now apparent

that I have been defeated in the race for governor by Hon. Thomas c. McRae of Prescott. 1t is my desire that MT. McRae leave noth- ing undone that will give the peo- pie of Arkansas strong, clean, safe and sane business administra- tion. of the affairs of this state. As a true democrat and firm believ- CT in the democratic party, l shall be very glad to cooperate in any way to make his administration a great success.
 ''I waged a fight for cleaner pol itics and progressive business ad- ministration. I laid bare the issues in the campaign and conducted my fight in an open manner and in the interests of the masses of the peo- pie of the state, and while l am defeated I will still be found fight ing for the rights of the common people.
 "In acknowledging my defeat l do so with heart full of gratitude to my many loyal friends through out the state who stood so solidly behind me in this race. It will be impossible for me to express to my many friends my appreciation per sonally of their loyal support. Let us all put our shoulders to the wheel and assist in giving Arkansas the greatest administration she has ever had"
 John A. Riggs issued the follow ing statement:
 '.I have made a clean fight for the gubernatorial nomination and realize that the race simply narrow ed to an elimination process in. order to defeat machine rule and rule by the moneyed interests. During the final days of the campaign much of my support opposed to Col McRae went to MT. Terral, as also did quite large following of the labor vote under the impression that Terral was the strongest man to defeat the so-called ring candidate, MT. Powell. This accounts in 8 large measure for the unusually heavy vote MT. Terral received. q sincerely thank my friends who stood by me and supported me when they realized that, in order to defeat certain candidates, g shifting of my support was deemed best, but who Loyalty supported me, nevertheless. MT. Terral also re- ceived a large number of women votes, who shifted their support to him believing him to be strongest Tn the final days of the campaign to defeat the so-called ring candidate. Keen politicians manipulated cer- tain things to alienate quite num- Der of the women votes by which I feel that I was justly entitled, but 1 return to my home with no bit terness toward anyone and will strive in the future as in the past to stand for good men in office and against corruption in politics and elsewhere"
