By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 10.—Na- tional issues were expected to pre- dominate in the state election in Ohio next November as a result of the choice of gubernatorial candi- ates by the voters at Tuesday's pri- ary election. “armi_A. Thompson of Cleveland was nominated for governor on the republican ticket after a campaign conducted with the indorsement of the Harding administration. ~A. V. Donahey of New Philadeiphia, run- ning on his previous record as audi- tor of the state, was selected as the democratic standard bearer.

The women declared ‘Mr. Reed is the bolter from the democratie part he is the traitor to its high ideals, he is the destroyer of its influence and the betrayer of its great leader, Wood- row .Wilson.” In the primary campaign the a tion originated the ‘rid-us-of slogan of the anti-Reed democratic women. The women asserted they would “refuse to follow the sullied flag of his (Reed's) spurious demrocracy.” VICTORY OVERWHELMING. Judge Brandon Wins All But One County in Alabama. BIRMINGHAM. Ala. August 10— Returns_available today from Tue: day’s primary indicated Judge W. W Brandon had carried every county, excepting Randolph. over Col. Bibb Graves for the democratic guberna- torial nomination, tantamount to elec- tion, and had scored an overwhelming victory. Official canvass of the vote began today. Fitzhugh Lee and Frank P. Morgan, both of Montgomery, held the lead es- tablished in early returns in their race for the public service commis- oners. They were supported by the iring governor. Thomas E. Kilby who charged the present commission- ers, B. H. Cooper and S. P. Gaillard, had received support of the Alabama Power Company. Representatives Tyson, second di trict; Almon, elghth; Huddleston, ninth, and Bankhead, tenth. appear to have been renominated by large najorities. In the seventh district, where Representative Rainey did net seek renomination, M. C. Algood had a siight lead over L. L. Herzberg. There were no contests in the other districts. McRAE LEAD INCREASED. Majorit¥ of 60,000 Indicated for Arkansas Governor. Br the Associated Press. LITTLE ROCK. Ark. August 10. Belated returns from Tuesday state-wide democratic primary in Ar- Xansas early today served oniy to in- «vrease the lead of Gov. T. C. McRae over his opponent, Judge E. P. Toney. On the face of incomplete returns from seventy-two of the seventy-five counties in the state, a majority of ore than 65,000 is indicated for Gov. McRae. Gov. McRae had the support t organized labor and of the Ku Klux Klan in his campaign, during which he stood squarely on his, rec- ord as governor., and advocated Atrict enforcement of all laws, particularly those relating to prohibition and jpbbath observance. {{f the three congressional districts sh ‘which there were contests, Repre- sentative W.

August 10— Adoption of a comprehensive plat- form, one plank of which condemned the Ku Klux Klan, and indorsed ment of a complete list of candidates P R ] democratic nominees in November election constituted the chief work of the cloding session .8f the Texas republican biennial con- ntion yesterday. The vote in both fnstances was unanimous. 45, P. Wilmot, Austin banker, was ominated for United States senator and W. H. Atwell, former federal -ffibtrict attorney of north Texas, for governor. . "The platform, aside from denounc- -2 the Ku Klux Klan and accusing the democratic party of being domi- nated by it, reaffirmed the republican 's traditional stand on the tarift question, indorsed the policies and accomplishments of the Harding ad- ministration. The platform against the Ku Klux Klan sets forth that the republican “stands committed unreservedly for pure and undefiled 100 per cent Americanism as established by the founders of the republic, but we condemn the Ku Klux Klan, or any similar organization whose 'purpose is to restrain by force, threats, in- timidations or otherwise the conduat of our citizens in the full exercise of freedom, whether in matters of xnlmnq religion or occupation, or iscriminates between loyal Americans on_ the grounds of religious bellef or nationality.” A telegram from President Harding au read, expr¢ssing approval of o s course in Texas and volo- ope for marked progress in the - ine A EXCURSION STEAMERS IN NECK-TO-NECK RACE UP THE POTOMAC RIVER The two veteran excursion steam- ers.of the Potomac—The St. Johns and the Charles Macalester-—pro- vided an unusual thrill for their re- spective passengers last night by staging a race on their return trips up the river. It waa the first race of its kind on the Potomac since the Jamestown exposition in 1907, when the steamer Jamestown went aground while racing the St. Johns to the Washington port. Slowly plowing up tho river on its “moonlight” trip, the St. Johns was overtaken by~the Mazalestar just he- low Fort Washingt,1. As the latter boat took the lead, belis on the St. Johns sounded for full speed whead, and soon black clouds of smoke rolied from its smokestack as the stokers plled coal in the firehoxes. It was a signal to the officers of the Macalester for a race. Side by side, within hearing als- tance, the boats speeded. Occasion- ally the St. Johns would take the lead and then give way to the Mac- alester. Passengers on each hoat crowded the rails around their decks and_whistled and yelled. When Alexandria, was reached and both steamers stopped to discharge passengers, the winner was in doubt. The Macalester, however. left the Alexandria dock shortly ahead of the St. Johns and maintained its lead to Washington. POLIGE INCREASE VY CITY VGILANCE Force Not Enlarged by Motor Cycle Men Keep in Closer Touch. Extra precautions have been taken by the police of the ninth precinct to avert any further trouble between alleged strikers and the men now employed at the Washington ter- minal, in the vicinity of the Ivy City roundhouse and shops. While the force has mnot been enlarged, extra motor e men have been ordered to keep a close watch in that section around quitting time for the men in Inspector Shel how s requested Lieut.

Last vear 10.500.000 galions were withdrawn, while this year on 2.500.000 will be taken from the stock of 36,000.000 gallons. But the second problem of prevent- ing smuggling now has become the first in official consideration. and it daily is presenting new diffculties which are to be overcome through adopting a policy of control of the seas such as the allies had during the recent war. Many Boats Active. At the present time the “dry navs has a number of boats operating on the great lakes and along the At- mer subchasers, capable of making eighteen to twenty knots an hour, are in daily service, aided by two scout boats which travel much faster. Other speed boats will be added to the fleet soon. As funds become available all of these boats are to be equipped with wireless and with sound-detect- ing instruments which will give the hunters of rum-detecting vessels the same capacity for detection of sub- marines that these identical sub- chasers had during the war. As vet complete details of the land- ing of a liquor cargo from a subm. rine on the New Jersey coast have not been gathered. But enough evi- deace has bheen secured to cause the local officials to belicve that further tests of submarines as rum runmers time, “The information available would make it appear that the first use of By the Associated Press, FULTON, N.

Only a few of the bales have been opened, but already boxes ot morphine worth $6.000 have been un- covered by the police. TAKING VOTE ON STRIKE Secretary Davis Notified of Bal- lot at Buffalo. A new angle was injected into the threatened strike of seamen on the Great Lakes today, when Secretary of Labor Davis received a letter from the National Organization of Masters, M and Pilots, Informing him that m:—:?:e engincers in the Buffalo dis- trict are now taking a vote to go_on strike. The latter ashed that the 1‘4- bor Department allow representatives of the masters, mates and pllots to at- tend the proposed conference between Lake Carriers’ Assoclation and union resentatives. re"i‘heo board of directors of the Lake Carriers’ Assoclation is meeting to day at Cleveland to discuss the sug- gested conference With the union representatives. Secretary Davis is watohing the threatened lake strike carefully, as he is represented to be- !lieve & tle-up , on the great lakes during the early fall would militate greatly against heavy shipments of coal to the northwest by water, thereby throwing the burden 'of transportation on the rail systems that section. 2 Meanwhile union representatives remained in Washington at the sug- gestion of Mr. Davis, pending the de- cision of the Lake Carriers’ Asso- olation. The unions, at the reque of the Labor Secretary, postponed a strike call originally set for August 5, until negotiations looking toward & general conference on wage mat: ters could be hetd.

Submarine Rum Runners Now Tax Efficiency of “Dry Navy”| a submarine was merely a test to see how the plan would work out.” said Mr. Appleby. “It is a matter of com- | mon knowledge with the rum run- ners that our subchasers operate out to the twelve-mile limit. Any vessel carrying liguor without a permit within the three-mile limit can be seized. just as an automobile may be seized. If. howe sel is found within the limit whose c is “broken other words, hax not the full c: for which its manifest cails, it be seized under the customs laws, Whisky Awalts Buyers. This compels the rum runners from Bermuda and the Bahanms to keep outside the twelve-mile limit. Their business has grown until we can say that there is a from 10,000 to 2 aboard Vessels ¢ from the northern end of Long Island to the southern end of New Jerse: As the liquor is sold out new vessels arrive, so that the stock is kept up o an average of 180,000 bottles await- ing purchase.” Watching these vessels is one of the greatest tasks ever set to men of the sea. They must be ready if one .)ri the vessels drifts over the twelve mile limit to slip up on her, board her and make examination. The cruisers are armed with one-potnd guns, rifles and other arms, each carrying a crew of fourteen men. “It is probably because the rum runners know we are watching the twelve-mile limit that some smug- gler has tried out the submarine plan,” Mr. Appleby. “as the idea is that a sub can come fo the twelve- mile line, drop from sight and during the night come to an agreed on point within a mile of the coast, or even tie up at a dock in some small port. We are not able with our present force to guard the line and keep a watch behind us The cost of running liquor is mounting daily. and prices of the smuggled goods also are going up. The big_rum runners are getting about $45 a case for their stuff, and are constantly trying to ralse prices. .

Steuart as the ex- ecutive secretary of Almas Temple in the furth nce of arrangemerts for the meeting of the Imperial ¢ f North America in Washington June 6 and 7 of next year. The position of executive secretary is one of the most important nection with the big Shrine tion here nmext vear, as upon that of- ficfal will devolve nearly all of the executive work in_conr on with the arrangements. The army of com- mittees necessary to complete the d tails will virtually operate under his direction and he will have the full authority of Almas Tempie in dealing with hotels, railroads and other in- stitutions and individuals who will be interested in the Shrine convention. Imperial Potentate James S. M Candless has definitely notified Po- tentate S art of Almas that he and the housing committce of the Impe- rial Couhcil, will assemble in Was ington September 5 and that it will be neceésary at that time for Almas Temple to lay before him and the committee definite information as to hotel and rooming accommodations. Huge Throng Expected. The imperial potentate, like others who have given the matter close atten- tion, belleves that in point of attendance that of the ‘convention Will surpass the attendance at all previous sessions of the Imperial Council. The attendance at San Francisco was conservatively es- timated at 350.000. If the- Washington convention brings that number of peo- ple, the city's accommodations will be taxed to their utmost. The influx of money into the city represented by such a gathering will run into the millions, conservative estimates of the receipts of the clearing house at San Francisco during Shrine week there last June showing that the money spent by the Shriners and their friends amounted to between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, it is said. g The proposition of caring for this in- flux in the manner customary with the Shriners, leading officials of Almas Temple believe, will develop a civic ntleman's | proposition of huge proportions.

FIRE LOSS IS $5,000,000. ST. LOUIS, August 10.—The ulti- miite loss to banks from failure of ln- ternational Fur Exchange two years ago will be $5000,000, instead of $2,000,000,- as announced several months ago, local bankers declare. The company, which did the largest, on business in the world, gollapsed when the bottom fell out of fur prices following the war, and in 1919 it owed $32,000,000 to St.' Louis fur au and New York banks.

FLEVEN DISAPPEAR AS SHIP HITS ROEK British Cruiser, With Hole in Side, Stranded Off Labra- dor Coast. By the Associated Press. ST. JOHNS, N. F*, August 10.—Eleven members of the crew of the British cruiser Raleigh, trace of whom was lost when the warship went ashore on the coast of Labrador yesterday, were still missing today. Admiral Sir William Pakenham and the 800 other officers and men of his flagship searched for the missing ones without succes The Raleigh ran aground in a dense fog, and it is hoped that the men merely lost their way and will turn up at some other point along the relatively uninhabited northern shore of the Strait of Beile Isle. The cruiser struck a quarter mile west of Point Amour lightship, while she was heading for Forteau. She lies 200 vards from high-water mark, resting easily, with her bow nearly submerged.

The principal modifications proposed would prevent a transfer from the dutiable list to the free list or from the free list to the dutiable list and Wwould prohibit the raising of duties _:;‘-Hond any maximums fixed in the Leather on Free List. The Senate yesterday voted Back to the free list hides, boots' and $hoes and leather. The Senate ma- Jority members of the finance com- mittee had placed a duty on_ thess articles. The action of the Senate, however, concurs in the action taken by the House more than a year &go. Only one roll call was taken on hides. The result was 39 to 26 against the proposed duties of 2 cents a pound on green hides and 4 cents a pound on dried hides The Seaate voted on this question as follows: For a duty on hides: Republicans— Bursum, Cameron. Capper, Curtis, Ernst, Gooding, Harreld, Ladd, Mc- Cormick, McNary, Nicholson, Nor- beck, Oddie. Phipps. Shortridge, Smoot, Stanfleld, Sterling and. War- ren, 19. Democrats—Ashurst, Brous- sard. Fletcher. Jones of New Mexico, Kendrick, Ransdell and Sheppard—T. Total, 26. Against a duty on_ hides: Repub- licans—RBall, Borah, Brandegee, Cal- der, Colt, Cummins, Dillingham, Edge, Frelinghuysen, Hale, Keyes, j Lenroot, Lodge, Moses, New, New- berry, Pepper, Rawson, Spencer, Sutherland, Townsend, Wadsworth and Wills—23. Democrats—Dial, Gerry, Glass, Harris, Heflin, Myers, Overman, Pomerene, Reed, Simmons, Smith, Stanley, Tram- mell Underwood, Walsh of Massachu- setts, and Walsh of Montana—I16. Total, 3. Marked Lines Disappear. Most of the more marked lines which have developed in the Senate during the tariff fight disappeared on this vote, but about the only surprise was that a majority of the republicans voted against’ making hides dutiable. Not only was there a split among the ma- jority leadership on the question, but also in the finance committee majority and even in the republican-agricultur: tariff bloc, which, through its chairman. Senator Gooding of Idaho, had asked for 2 cents on green hides and 6 on dried hide: Only two members of the finance com- mittee majority—Curtis and Smoot— supported the duties, while four mem- bers— and Ider, Dillingham, Frelinghuysen Sutheriand—voted against them. Chairman McCumber and Senator Wat- son of Indlana, the other two members present, were paired and unable to vote. Five members of the tariff bloc broke on the ballot—Spencer, Wills, New. Keys and Townsend With hides sent back to the fres st, Senator Smoot for the committee oved that the Senate disagree to the amendment proposing a rate of 12 cents a pair and 5 per cent ad valorem on boots and shoes and varying rates on band. rough and sole leather, belt- ing and harness leather, and various other kind of this product. This mo- tion prevailed without a rell cail, and as a substitute the Senate approved the House proyision proposing a du of 20 per cent ad valorem on chamois skins, planoforte, pianoforte action, plaver-piano action leather, enameled upholstery leather and glove leather, finished in the white or in the crust. Duty on Bags Reduced. Without roll calls the Senate then posed duty on bags. baskets. belt satehels. cardeases. pocketh jewel boxes. portfolios and hoxes and cases wholly or in value of leather. On such art permanently fitted and furnished for traveling, ottle, drinking. dining or luncheo sewing, manicure or :.(m’. iar sets the duty was made 45 per cent ad valorem in place of the 60 per cent orginally proposed. The fight over the duties on leather gloves carried the Senate into its first might session in several weeks and resulted in the approval,of a minimum of 50 per cent and a maximum of 70 per cent except on gloves made from the hides of cattie. These were placed on the free list because of the re- moval of the duty on hides. as were arness. saddles and saddlery. on chich the committee had proposed a | duty of 20 per cent On gloves made of horsehide and pigskin a rate of 25 per ad valorem was aporoved after tor Reed. democrat. Missouri, had ohiect ed to high tariff rates on such glove which, he said. were worn largely by farmers and workers PRESIDENT PLANS \ TARIFF SHOWDOWN (Continued from First Page.) dent may make the rates conform to the general interest. Senators in debate frankly concede that certain schedules will increase the cost to the consumers of the na- tion, hut they insist that particular industries have to be protected or i directly the people as a whole wi Suffer from lack of employment in basic industries. Mr. Harding acknowledges the prin- poses as _opposed to the democ party's idea of a tariff for revenuo governments of “Esthonia, Latvia|only. But it's to know exactly where protection for the manufacturer should end and protection for the con- Sumer begin that makes the tari cuch a complex probler. In the v for free hides. twenty-three republi- cans decided to protect the consume because of the belief that increased cost of shoes would lose more voies than could possibly be gained for them through the help of senatoria brethren from cattle-raising = States In other words, they took the chance of forfeiting western senatorial vntes for schedules in which eastern manu- facturers might be interested. East Holds Advantage. Fortunately for the eastern sena- tors, many of the schedules in which they are interested are already in- corporated in the bill and are out of the way. so the westerners suffer by having the wool schedule come up toward the end of the tariff debate In such a situation where republicans and democrats vote together for fres hides the public gets a clear grasp of what is involved, because the cost of shoes is universally felt. But many of the same principles are Involved in the thousand and ome products and by-products which enter into the ulti- mate cost of production to the con- sumer, but which the public doesn’t comprehend during a debate on so complicated @ subject as the tariff. The need for a tariff commis: whose voice would be heard in Cc gress and whose recommendations would carry weight with both political parties has again and again been urged after tariff; bills had been passed, but no President has been aple to get more than & commission with advisory powers. Mr. Harding wants the Congress to delegate to the chief executive the right to proclaim new duties, and he promises to follow the recommenda- tions of a tariff commission.. When Mr. Harding makes a fight for ex- ecutive authority to proclaim dutles , he will find Congress hesitant to yield its precious power. It's another test tary, who yesterday sent out | of Mr. Harding’s leadership with his :-I.‘l.:ic.:- yto all. the democratic|party and the answer will be “"fl members advising them of the Presi. dent’s request and urging thelr com- ithin the next month as Congress :lfl'l’ finishing ita tariff job.
