On these returns, Thompson was maintaining a letrd of more than two to one over his nearest com petitor, and was leading in all but a few of the counties heard from. Thompson's nearest opponent ln the nlne-cprnered race was G. Homer Durand, of Coshocton, the beer and light wine' candidate. Congresaman Charles L.
