Few Surprises In Many Primary Elec

Held Over Country
On Tuesday
Columbia, S. C.—Thomas G. McLeod,
ot JBishopville, was nominated over
Colo L. Bloase for governor of South
Carolina in the democratic primary.
In South Carolina is equivalent to elec
tion. With less than one hundred pre
cincts in the state unreported The
State showed McLeod leading Bloase
by more than 16,000, the figures being
from all the 46 counties in the 15 ttltGj
most of them completed, McLeod, 98,-
867; Blease, 82,989.
James TI, Hope, of Union, defeated*
John E. Swearingen, the incumbent,
for superintendent of education by a
decisivo majority, the figui'os showing
Hope 104,260, and Swearingen 73,430.
Only one congressional race was
left for the second primary,'•‘ail other
representatives in congress having
been renominated in the first-primary
two weeks ago. In the second pri
mary Phillip H. Stoll, of Ivingstree,
^representative ol} the sixth district,
was defeated for renomination by A.
II. Casque, of Florence. The incom
plete vote showed: Gasque 13,591 and
Stoll 12,920. Missing • boxes are un
derstood to be in territory expected to
he favorable to Gasque. Information
to The State from Florence was that
Mr. Stoll had conceded his defeat.
McLeod assumed a lead on the first
returns received by The State and,
while this fluctuated from, 14,000 to
16,000 he maintained a comfortable
majority throughout. It Is not believ
ed that more than ten thousand to
twelve thousand votes remain to bo
reported, and they can not change
the result.
In a statement,Mr. McLeod said the
keen interest shown in the issue of
the campaign makes the result an in
dorsement more of the principles that
lie advocated than of himself. He de
clared that in the campaign he made
no personal attack on any one and is
leaving it as he entered, without mal
ice. He will, he says, be governor of
all the people,

Lodge had gained a lead of nearly
three to one, over’ Joseph Walker,
his opponent .for the republican nom
ination for senator in the returns from
2li precincts including 90 from Boston
out of 1,407 in the state. These pre
cincts, gave Lodge 23,S02 and Walker
8,495.

nomination with a similar lead over

Chicago.—Tiie temporary injunction
against railroad' strikers, says a staff
corresnondent. was continued in toto
for ten days by District Judge James
H. Wilkergon, when adjournment was
taken after the first day’s heuring on
the motion of Attorney General Harry
M. Daugherty to make the restraining
order permanent.
The court’s actioij indicates a long
and bittfr fight by the government to
prove its charges that violence and
disorder, in the rail strike has been
due to conspiracy, in the opinion of
authorities. Hundreds of affidavits,
depositions e.-ui statements will be in
troduced in the aftompt to prove that
Urn conduct of the strike has been
responsible for- alleged murd’ors, prop
erty destruction^scrop losses and delay
of the mails. • *
Blackburn Er.tcrline, assistant attor
ney general, quoted hundreds of such
alleged cases when the government was
ordered to proceed after Judge Wilker-
son had declined to dismiss the per
manent injunction motion on arguments
of Donald R. Richberg, attorney for the
strikers.
While those arguments were being
heard in federal courts, nearly one
hundred strike leaders were in session
considering proposals to end the strike

added that it was “entirely probable
that someUtetion would be taken.
“We are taking our time and going
over things carefully,” he added.
It was added by some of the 3liop
craft leaders that the union men are
as badly split on what course to take
in acting for peace as the railroad ex
ecutives are. General chairmen on car
riers where the strike is highly effec
tive are said to oppose any compromise,
while others acting for strikers on
roads where shops are being filled with
workers, are asking immediate action
on the plan of settlement advanced by
Daniel Willard, president of the Balti

Refusal of Judge Wilkerson to dis
