Thompson, Harding administration
candidate, was swept INTO the republi-
can nomination for governor in the
Ohio primary election yesterday with

gressman z. l.. Knight, unofficial re-
turns from 5000 of the states S,l67
precincts indicated today
Thompson's lead continued to grow
as reports poured in from tardy coun-
ties

administration candidate a good race
7 ater. however. he dropned to fourth
rlace in the contest. where he con-
tinued to rnn about 1000 votes behind
Ha~vev c. Smith.
Ohio's stubborn refusal to follow
the lead of its neiohbor states of Penn
evlvania and Indiana. in overthrowinS
the old guard was due to the usually
stronc support given Thompson.
Beside the unofficial endorsement OF
the White House Thompson was
haokod throughout nv staunch repub-
licenisrr and the anti-ssloon league.
In the REGULAR elects.2n. however,
Thompson will have an opponent for
governor who has had more experience
as a candidate Donabev at the last
election, ran well against the present
governor, Harry Davis.

Richmond. Aug. 9.-The South
ern Railway is now preparing to
take on new snopmen to fill the
places vacated by the workers who
walked out on July l.
Failing to come to terms with the
representatives of the six shop
crafts in Washington yesterday, the
management of the Southern claims
it has about exhausted its patience,
and that it must now turn to its
obligation to the public and the
company. This obligation, it is de-
clared, means uniinpared transpor-
tation services.
While the Southern has held open
the doors to the strikers since the
walkout and has not employed any
outside mechanics, the result of the
Washington conference has devel-
oped a different attitude on the
part of the management, and the
following telegram, authorized by
President Fairfax Harrison, to strlk-
ing shopmen, was received here yes
terday afternoon by j. H. Drake,
general freight agent of the South
ern in Richmond:
Have delayed communication with
you, hoping l could finally report
that our shop crafts had returned
unembarrassed to their former posi-
tions. Striving for this result, no
conditions have been created to pre-
vent the return of our men with
seniority rights unimpared, but the
door has been and now is open and
unObStructed to them.
"On August /, your shop crafts
committee was invited to confer
with our officials to consider the re-
turn of our men upon the terms
proposed by the President of the
United States on July 81. and sub
Sequently accepted by the national
representatives of such crafts. At
ter delaying answer until August
3, the committee agreed to meet our
officials on August 5. on which date
they asked pOStponement until Au-
gust, and then asked further post
pOnement until today.
Though recognizing the efforts
/ of this company in the protection of
the seniority of our men, we are
told this morning by your committee
that they will make no adjustments
with the Southern Railway system.
as the strike is national and must
be settled nationally Our duty is
to our employees the public and
the company. Our duty to our striA
ing employees has been more than
| fulfilled, and l now call upon YOU.
whatever is your occupation, to as
SiSt the management in performing
its duty also to the public and to the
company.
This obligation calls for unim-
paired transportation service. This
we will perform"
While officials of the Southern in
this city say that the message from
President Harrison does not mean
that the old men will not be taken
back if they desire to return. they
admit that the company will have to
protect Itself and the public. ann
that the only way to do this is to
take on a few men in place of the
