By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age-Herald, 22I-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, August 7.-(SpeciaL) With both candidates for governor claiming victory, Alabama's political campaign for 1922 came to an of ficial close at midnight Monday, though to all intents and purposes 1t ended Saturday night. Judge W. w. Bradon of Tuscaloosa and Col. Bibb Graves of Montgomery both is sued statements thanking the people for the considerations shown during the campaign and predicting nomi- nation in the primary.
 Alabama newspapers will carry lit tie about the campaign Tuesday morning. The corrupt practice act prohibits the publication of any political advertisement on election day. No new charges could be made by candidates during Monday with out the submission of the charges to the opposition in time for 1t to make answer in all editions of the same newspapers. All ballot boxes in Alabama will be open until , o'clock Tuesday afternoon, while those in the cities will not close until o'clock
 = It is not probable that definite reports on the election will be known Tuesday night, because of the length of the ballot. The ballot .s three feet long. in Jefferson county, B inches long In Montgomery and 30 inches long in Mobile. It Is fig ured that it will take eight minutes to count each ballot in Jefferson county. However, results of the elec- ton for governor should be knoWE during late Tuesday night, because it is believed the election will be g one-sided one.
 Rival factions of the party in Montgomery county held opposing political meetings Monday night: Rev. Bob Jones. evangelist, spoke at the city auditorium in the Interest of the outs. who are trying to Eet In, while Judge Leon McCord, cir cult judge.r and without opposition for reelection, spoke for the ins, who desire to stay ip.

Judge McCord. who has been i'll, announced that he would mako reply, alleging that the citizenship of Montgomery county had not been fairly represented by MT. Jones.

.LOREE INDICATES
 D|SAPPROVAL OF HARDING PROPOSAL
No Decision Made as to Rail Executives Reply to Hard ing's Move For a
 Settlement
By Associated Press

New York. August 7.--Assertion that President Harding's new pro posal for ending the rail strike would seem Ito demand complete sur render of the position of the railway presidents as stated last Tuesday" was made by L. F. Loree, chairman of the eastern presidents conference, at the close of an informal meeting of rail heads today.
 Mir. Loree emphasized, however, that he was expressing merely "a personal opinion" and was not speak ing for the conference. He also in- sisted that the conference which pre- ceded the statement was purely in- formal and that no decision had been reached by those who attended.
 MT. Loree's statement follows:
 "1n the resolution adopted by the railway executives on August 1. they took the position squarely that the striking former employees cannot bt given preference to employees at pres ont in the service without doing vio- lence to every principle of right and justice involved in this matter, and without the grossest breach Of faith on the part of the railroads to the men at present in their service"
 Seniority Only Issue
 President Harding. in his propo- sition today, said, therefore, only the question of seniority covered in para graph three, which executives re- jected, remains in dispute
 'He calls upon both workmen anc carriers. under the law, to take the question in dispute to the railroad labor board for hearing and decision and the compliance by both. with tho decision rendered
 Ut would seem clearly that tn, request demands complete surrender of the position of the railroad pres l idents as stated last Tuesday"
