Recent Primary Was a Record
Breaker, Report Shows.
Vote for Governor
Exceeded 100000 Mark.
MUST FILE EXPENSE ACCOUNTS
w. Y. MOrgan's Statement
Shows He Spent $4OO.
Democratic Nomination Cost
Jonathan Davis $459.O5.

Altho candidates and political OBJ
servers generally declared that the
people showed less interest in the re-
cent primary campaign than had ever
been known, the official count of the
votes as tabulated by L. J. Pettitohn,
secretary of state. shows that a rec
ord-brea king vote was cast and that
thousands voted in the primary this
year who did not vote two years ago.
despite the fact that 1920 was a presi-
dental year.
Heavy Vote for Governor
The Republican vote this year for
governor ran over 200. O.OOO-approxi-
mately $4,000 votes larger than in
1920. In many parts of the state it
was charged that the Republican vote
was swelled by Democrats going into
the booths and calling for Republican
ballots. But the official figures show
a big increase in the total Democratic
vote for governor. In 1920 with four
Democratic gubernatorial candidates
the total vote was 3S,73s. This year
with only three candidates it was ST.
206, an increase of 18,467.
Candidates this year have thirty
days in which to file their campaign
expense accounts, the law having been
amended at the last session of the
legislature giving them thirty days in
stead of ten in which to make their
filings. However, most of those who
were nominated have already filed
their statements of expenditures.
Morgan Spent Only $4O0.
w Y. Morgan, the Republican
nominee for governor. has filed u
sworn statement that his total pri-
mary expenses amounted to- only s400,
which was a contribution to the Nor
gan-for-governor committee. The
statement of Jonathan NJ. Davis, the
Democratic nominee. shows that he
spent more money than Morgan, his
sworn account showing a total of
$459.O5. Candidates do not have to
include their personal travelling ex-
penseS in these statements).
An interesting feature about the eX-
pense accounts is that the two women
candidates for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor, who received less
than 5000 each, spent almost as much
as Morgan. Miss Helen Pettigrew
spent a total of $817 and Mrs. w. D.
Mowry spent $265.
Hopkins Spent $3S2.
According to the statements, R. J.
Hopkins, who defeated Justice Silas
Porter for Il denomination, spent only
$3S2, and C. B. Griffith, 'ho won the
Republican nomina ton for attorney
general, spent only $325.15.
w. R. Baker, who won the Repub-
lican nomination for insurance super
intendent, spent SPAS, his statement
shows; and Frank J. Ryan, who de-
feated D. o. McCray fCi' the Repub-
lican nomination for secretary of
state. spent only $103.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE fifth ef-
fort by an outside agency to end the
nationwide shopmen's strike that be-
gan more than six weeks ago was
made today when leaders of the rail-
road brotherhoods went into confer

railroad officials at the Broadway

way employees department of the

rived in this city just as the confer

he was holding himself in readiness
to advise with conferees If he was
called.
Mr.. Jewell issued the following
statement: THE officers of all the
railway labor organizations are now
continuing as they have thruout the
strike to do everything possible to
bring about an amicable settlement.
Five brotherhood leaders, represent
ing the running trades of American
railroads, today went into formal con-
ference to draw up a program for end
ing of the nationwide shopmen's
strike to be submitted this afternoon
While none of the strike leaders
would permit themselves to be quoted,
they indicated. that they did not ex-
pect the brotherhoods to suggest any
patched-up compromise to the execu-
tives nor that the ,brotherhooas would
promise to exert their influence to get
the )shopmen to. return IL seniority
rights were not guaranteed strikers.

The formal conference which had

Warren s. Stone. president of the
Brotherhood of Engineers What the
proposals the brotherhood chiefs. as
Stunning the role of mediators, would
be, could not be learned from them,
when they closed the door behind
them. Representatives of the station
ary trades, however. who were watch
ing closely the brotherhood confer
ence, indicated that they expected the
running crafts now to suggest any
compromise on the matter of seniority
rights. which has proved the big
stumbling block in peace efforts thus
far.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE scene OF
negotiations toward peace on the rail-
roads again shifted from Washington
to New York today. when carrier
presidents and union chiefs assembled
for a conference, the fifth attempt OF
an outside agency to suggest an ac-
ceptable solution to the seniority
riddle.
Heading the employers is Dewitt
Cuy,er, chairman of the national as
sociat ation with committee of nine rail-
road presidents. Warren s. Stone. ma
tionaI head of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers. was attended
by chiefs Of the other big four run
ming crafts.
Chiefs of the big four, arriving for
the meeting, declared they were with
out a definite plan for solution of the
seniority question. One possible plan
by which the roads might maintain
their 20 icy of rewarding loyal and
lnew employees with seniority prefer
ence over returning strikers and still
effect compromise with the shop
crafts, al peared in the mass Of unof-
fetal discussion in railway circles
prior to the conference. Such a plan,
to the crafts, was outlined by certain
executives as follows:
New Seniority Plan.
/. That railroads, instead Of being
bound by the majority action of the
Association of Railway executives. be
strikers as needs of Individual roads
dictated. This would assure jobs TO
all the strikers ON most of the roads
in the country. particularly in the
southeast and thruout the west.
2. That the roads and unions agree
to recognize the seniority of loyal ems
ployes who refused to strike.
3. That the seniority status of re-
turning strikers and so-called new
mem be fixed thru agreements be-
tween unions and managers of indi-
vidual roads, governed partly By
standards of efficiency of individual
EN- ployes in both classes.
4. That all pension rights be re-
stored TO the pre-strike status
No official sponsor appeared for
this plan. Members of the executives
committee declined to discuss it's rner-
its and the big four representatives
took a similar attitude.
