turns from isolated sections In the
democratic primary yesterday were
awaited today to determine whether
former Senator James X. Vardaman
or Hubert D. Stephens Of New Albany
will succeed John Sharp Williams,
who will retire from the United States
Senate next March. Managers for
both candidates admitted the race
was close, and, in the opinion OF po-
litical observers. a second primary
probably will be necessary.
Both campaign Headquarters early
to-day expressed satisfaction with the
situation, vardaman headquarters
holding that the former senator is
especially strong in the less popu-
lated sections where communication
is difficult On the other hand, Ste
phen's supporters declare their ad-
the final count is made, but admit q
possibility that second primary will
be necessary.
Miss Belle Kearney Of Flora, was run
ming behind her two male opponets.
Incomplete and unofficial returns from
seventy -four of the eight-five counties
in the state gave Stephens 1904, Yard
aman, 44.620: Kearney, 1925.
In the congressional districts in
which there were contests, returns
early today were far from complete.
Eight of the eleven counties in the
fourth district showed JEFF Busby

Representative Collins was running

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Harding means to place
squareIy before the country the dan
gers of national domination OF basic
industries by labor unions.
Irrespective of whether the meeting
in New York tomorrow between the rail
executives and the brotherhood chiefs
who represent the shopmen brings an
end to the rail strike, the President feels
that the issues involved in the present
crises are too big to be suddenly shelved
with the abrupt termination Of the
strike.
Mr.. Harding has not made up his mind
to ask for specific legislation at this
time. but he feels that Congress and the
country should know the details OF the
present controversy so as to have the
vay open for thorough consideration OF
the whole problem. The President 9
Of what has happened will
aleo serve q useful purpose as q basis
for any action that may have to be taken
serious as to require instant seizure
Of railroads without waiting for con-
gressional authority.
some Of the Presidents friends
have told him that he owes the Amer
Jean people q frank explanation Of
public should know Just whore to
place the responsibility. On top OF
this are considerations OF Justice to
the President himself, ap the criticism
Of his course has grown to such pro-
portions as to make members OF Con-
1rese fearful that 1t would reflect un-
fayorably on the republican party at
the polls next November.
Merely Incidental Phase.
This phase is merely incidental. as
Mr.. Harding has proceeded along
lines that seemed to him expedient
from day to day without regard to
whether II was politically wise or un-
wise. Nevertheless, Mr.. Harding
would be tho last to deny that Inn
durine the strike period are not ,un-
likely to be developed on the basis
Of such few facts and statements az
have been author1tAtively issued thus
The President a1one knows the
whole story, not only OF the negotia-
tions that have gone on In an effort
to settle the strike, but the issues
which preceded the outbreak and
which may be said to have aggravat.
ed the labor situation and brought !.
to . climax in the shopmerl's strike.
Mr.. Harding could tell m interest
ine story, II, he chose, on the various
moves made by the railroads to re-
duce the power and prestige of the
United States Labor Board and Of
the corresponding effect which such
tactics made upon, the strikers, who
saw ne more reason for obeying the
Labor Board than did the railroads.
But apart from all this II the
