OHIO PRIMARY
VOTE INDICATES
DRY SENTIMENT

Columbus, O., Aug. 9-(By A. P.)-
With the races for the gubernatorial
and senatorial nominations on both
the Republican and Democratic tick
cts definitely settled, interest today
turned toward the attitude of Ohio
voters in prohibition as shown by
their ballots in yesterdays state pri-
mary
Returns from approximately four
flfths of the precincts of the state
gave Carmi A. Thompson. admins
tration candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor and re-
cipient of Anti Saloon League en-
dorsement, a plurality of almost 100,-
600 votes over the closest of his op-
ponents, among whom We're advocates
Of progressivism and the return of
beer and light wines. Congressman
S. l.. Knight of Akron. characterized
as "a Roosevelt progressive" was
running second, and G. Homer Dur
and, who made his race on a light
wine and beer platform was third.
Harvey c. Smith, secretary of state,
another liberal candidate, was run
ming fourth.
The wet and dry issue probably
was better typified in the contest for
the Republican nomination for attor-
ney general than in the gubcrnatorial
race, according to political leaders.

leader in the state house Of repre-
sentauves and author of various
state prohibition enforcement laws,
and +. +. Corn of Ironton, We're prin-
J cipals in the Republican attorney
general race, which was recognized
as a test of strength of those unfa-
vorable to prohibition in the state.
Late returns showed Crabbee in
creasing a small lead
Crabbee is recognized as one of the
most prominent dry leaders in Ohio
and the Anti-Saloon League strong
~ urged that he be supported
Races for the republican and dem
ocratic nominations for United States
senator, in which congressman Sine
on ID. Fcss, of yellow Springs, and
Senator Alice Pomercne of Canton,
~ere nominated as representatives of
their respective parties, also were
tinged with wet and dry issue. Tess,
formerly chairman of the republican
national congressional committee. re-
Ceived the Stronge endorsement of
the anti Saloon League, while Pom
creme was strongly opposed by the
drys.
Returns from 6.447 precincts to-
night showed that Tess had polled
more votes than the combined total
Of his three opponents; Former SEN
ator Charles Dick of Akron, former

For a second time. the joint inter-
state conference of coal miners and
operators delayed action today TO
permit holdout Illinois operators to
decide whether they would participate
III negotiations that may end the soft

central competitive field
AS forerunner to the conference

affect most Ohio mines as also scat
tered mines in western Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Illinois, these four states
forming the central competitive
held. The committee also expects to
consider extension Of the central field
to other parts Of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
Sentiment favoring settlement
with the operators seemed predom-
nant among the committee members
and was regarded as forecasting APP
prevail of the union leaders decision,
which became known after President
John l.. Lewis Of the miners had re-
ceiSed aSSjra nee from oparatore il,

FUEL HEAD ASKS
REASON FOR BOOST
IN PORTLAND COAL

The papers of Friday, August 4th,
had been raised by certain Portland
dealers. The State Fuel Administra-
ton Immediately wired and wrote
several of the large coal dealers in
Portland and asked them for the
facts in connection with the advance
in prices. The replies that came
back were not satisfactory and the
Fuel Administration has addressed
the following letter to large Portland
dealers:
Augusta, August 9, 1922
"Gentlemen:-
I received your letter of August
fourth in regard to your having in
creased the price of bitunlinous coal
The information you gave me does
not meet the situation. In order that
the Fuel Administration may know
just what the facts are, and may be
able to judge as to whether or not
your increase in prices Of coal are
justifable, will you please give me
the following detailed information:-
1st-Amount of Bituminous Coal
you had on hand April /, 1922.
2nd-Monthly Receipts of coal
beginning April /, 1922, up to and
in Guiding August 7, 1922.
3rd-Prices you charged to custo-
mers on April /, 1922.
albany chages in prices since
April !, 1922. up to the present time.
5th-Prices to different classes Of
consumers
6th-The price that you have paid
since April LIST, last, as above men
toned up to and including August
18th.
Without this information we can
not act intelligently.
1t is not the purpose Of this ad-
ministration to interfere with the
business of the coal dealers, but it
is our duty to thoroughly investigate
every advance in the price of coal.
We want YOUR cooperation for we
depend upon the coal dealers to help
in the present crisis and we want
them to make a fair profit.
Sincerely yours.
(SignedD ANDREW p. LANE,
Director Maine Fuel Administra ton"
The Fuel Administration intends to
follow up every advance in the price
of fuel and determine for itself
whether or not such an advance is
iustifiable and it expects to receive
frank statements from all coal deal
ers and operators. Public sentiment
demands that everything in con-
nection with the Fuel Administration
be open and above board and so for
that reason the correspondence re-
ferrcd to is given to the press.
