the Democratic nomination for Goyer

ton. " S I
Raleigh, N. C., June 9 (By the Asso-T
eiated Press).—Angus W. McLean, of
Lumberton, former Chairman of the War I
Finance Corporation,'and former Assist- ]
ant Secretary of the Treasury, was lead-j
ing Josiah W. Bailey of Raleigh, former i
Collector of Jfaternal Revenue, by mote
than 51,000 votes early today far the
Democratic nomination far Governor of
North Carolina. Belated returns from
isolated precincts, which trickled in late
last night and early today increased Mr.
McLean’s lead, and with 79. counties re
porting. Mr. Bailey was leading in only
10 of them. The vote early today with
1.018 precincts reported out Vs 1,718,
stood as follows: McLean 107,183;
Bailey 56,183.
In the three-cornered race tor Lieu
tenant-Governor it appeared likely a sec
ond primary would be necessary, as no
one of the three candidates and. majority
of the partial returns. J. Elmer Long,
of Durham, was leading, with 33,135
votes, after 592 precincts had reported;
while Robert 8. Reynolds, of Asheville,
hud 58.060 and T. O. Bowie 28,691. In
the event that Long and Reynolds
for the second primary it probably will
not be held, as these two previously had
agreed that the one with the lesser num
ber of votes would withdraw in favor of
the other.
A second primary, it also appeared,
would be necessary in the commissioner
of Agriculture race, though Wm. A.
Graham, the incumbent, with 37,129
votes, lacked only 6.-000 votes of a ma- j
jority of the reported returns, these be-
Jflg fgpm 587 precincts. Weed P. lath-,
httf had 29.572 votes, a»4 V- B - P»tker,
12*72:.-.
In the Attorney-General race, 589 prtFJ
cinctß gave Dennis C. Brummitt 30,138
i votes; Chas. Rows 29,186; and Frank
Nash 21.080, with 'a second primary,
needed, if liter returns carry out this;
ratio.
Insurance Commissioner Stacey W.'
Wade, incumbent, offering for re-election,
had an overwhelming lead over -bis op
ponent, 1. F. Flowers, of Charlotte, the
vote of SlO precincts giving Mr.' Wade
57,463, while Mr. Flowers had 15,174.
For State Auditor. Baxter Durham, in
cumbent, was leadihg J. P. Cook by ap
proximately 10,000 votes, when 519 pre
cincts had reported. Tie vote stood:
Durham 45,066; Cook 33,164. '
Corporation Commissioner Geo. P.
Pell, standing,for re-eleetion, had a com
manding lead of nearly } 14,000 votes
from the first 519 precincts, the vote
standing: Pell 42,356; O. B. Carpenter
28,786.
A second primary, it appeared, would
be necessary •to elect a Commissioner
of Labor and- Printing. With 540 pre
cincts reported the incumbent, M. L.
Shipman, was leading with 31.180 votes,
while Frank D. Grist had 28,068; Ck J.
Peterson 9,372; and L. M. Nash 2,448.
A number of precincts throughout the
state: according to treports received here,-
closed late Saturday night without Com
pleting tabulation of returns because of
the length of the . tickets where local of
fices were contested. This resulted in a
delay until today in obtaining a portion
of returns.
The votes were to be canvassed today
at midday, at the county seats through
out the state, and certified to the State
Board of Elections.
Raleigh, June 9—The two members
of the North Carolina delegation to the

State. United States Senator Simmons
also was renominated without opposition.
Returns from all three race* were
meager today. Reports from various sec
tions of the state saying that election of

1 THIRD PARTY PLANS TO
NAME TICKET AT ST. PAUL
1 Tldrty-one states Will Send Delegates
to the Convention.
(By the Associated Press. 1
Stf Paul, Minn., June 9, —Thirty-one
‘ states have indicated an intention to
send delegates to the national Farmer
: iaibor-Progressive convention in Ht.
Paul on June 17. according to lenders
1 in the “third P|rty” movement here.
! These states, according to tentative
(dans, will give the convention a yoting
strength of 977, apportioned on tjie
basis of tbe # elecforiil vote of each state
! and the “progressive" vote In the 1922
elections.
While • the convention's voting
i strength is set at less than 1.000, the
; 'ocaK committee expects several Thou
sand delegates at tile convention ; vyith
each delegate ip many cases easting
only a fraction of a vote. Arrangements
are being made to handle from four to
five thousand "delegates.
States that will be represented, ac
cording to announcement here, are New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
West Virginia. Ohio, Illinois, Inditnt.
Alabama. Louisiana. Oklahome, Texas,
Missouri, Kansas, North Dakota, South
Dakota, lowa, Minnesota. Wisconsin,
Michigan, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Kentucky and Colorado.
“Delegates are to be selected from
labor unions, farmers oganizations. co
operative orgnnizaztions. state Farm
er-labor parties, state federations of
labor, international unions, and nation
al working class political parties," ac
cording to the local committee.
Plans outlined here are on the ex
pectation that the convention will last
four days and nominate a third party
national ticket. The temporary chair
man of the cob verb ion. it is believed,
probably will -be William Mahoney, St.
Paul labor leader.
Appointment and work of the cre
dentials committee Is exxpected to «c

up the second day. Several speakers of
national-wide repute are being sought.
Platform and resolutions committees
Will be appointed by the convention im
mediately after the credentials com
mittee has reported. Nomination of. a
presidential ticket .will be the closing
business of the convention, under plans
of the local commitee.
“Some plans will have to be worked
put by a committee on organization as
to how to cement all the sections of the
movement- into one national political
party,” this committee sn i«J.
There is only one name mentioned in
regard to presidential candidates at
convention ’headquarters here, and that
is Senator Robert M. Lafollette of Wis
consin. There have been no public sug
gestion here as to vice-presidential
choice.
Just what plans will be used in work
ing out a' national party of the elements
that are expected to participate in the
convention, are problematical. It bas
1 been indicated, however, that some
definite state, organisation, such as tife
Farmer-Labbr party in Minnesota,
1 might be attempted in each state in the
k belief that voting power could best be
accomplished through the s.tate union
i basis.

Denies Child Labor Brings Mills South.
Charlotte, uJne 7—That the mills of
New England are moving to the south
for economic reasons and not because of
child labor and longer working hours
was the assertion of David Clnark, edi
tor of the Textile Bulletin, at a lunch
eon of the Kiwanis Club.
Mr. dark asserted that in south last
year but 1993 .children under 14 years
of age were permitted to work. No State
in. the south or New England permits
children under fourteen to work, except
that in the south siiecial permits are
issued la certain eases. The hours of
work in the south are longer than the
houra-ipeivweek of employment in New
England, with the exception of Massa
chusetts, which has a 48-hour week.
Mr. dark, said the New England
Mills are neither efficient nor efficently
operated. That the south can today
undersell Fall River in the manufacture
of print doth- He stated that 400,000
New England spindles bad moved south
in the last six months and predicted
that migration would be more general
in the nexxt three years. He said cur
tailment of mills in recent months had
kept 255,000,000 pounds of manufac
tured cotton off the market, and pre
dicted that, if this curtailment is con
tinued two ntonth.-. longer, it will de

WHO WILL BE PRESIDENT
COO LID’S RUNNING MATE?
Names of These Most Prominently Men
tioned For the Place.
Clevriand. June 9.—With only one
presidential probability before the con
vention, delegates to the big Republican,
gathering here are getting as mueh fan
as they can out of gossiping about the
chances of the various entires in the
contest for second place.
. Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho,
is mentioned a great deal. He’s about
the best- possible compromise between
an "insurgent” and a "regular.” He’s
a good campaigner. He has “jazz,”
in which Coolidge Is somewhat lacking.
And he’s from the west. It would be
better, however, if he chine from a state,
with more electoral votes. ■ ’
Senator George Wharton Pepper, of
Pennsylvania, was quite strongly urged
n few weeks ago but isn’t so much talked
of now. He’s from a state with lots of
votes but it’s too far east.
Votes and Geography.
Ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge is
pretty strong. Indiana has both votes
and the right kind of loontion. Bev
eridge has a reputation ns a progressive.
President Coolidge thought well enough
of him as a running mate about -a
month ago to have talked the matter
over with him.
Senator James E. Watson, another,
Hoosier, is a candidate, too. One of
the leading Washington fortune tellers
fo.retold recently that he’d be vice presi
dent—if that counts for anything
Senator Charles L. McNairy! of Ore
gogn. is well spoken of. As sponsor of
the McNairy bill, the purpose of which
is to boost prices of agricultural prod
ucts, it’s believed the farmers would like
him.
Charles G. Dawes has been quoted to
the effect that he didn’t want the nomi
nation, but he has supporters neverthe
less.
Kansas and lowa.
Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas,
and ex-Senator W’illiam S. Kenyon, of
lowa, are from farm states and mildly
progressive in politics. Missouri is
quite a farm state likewise anij none tot
safely Republican, ho a favorite, son from
there might strengthen the ticket. Hence
Gov. Arthur M. Hyde is suggested.
Ex-Governor Frank O. Lowden, of
Illinois, has considerable support. St
has Senator Frank B. Willis, of Ohio,
though he’s hurt himself with the “in
surgent” element by criticizing the re
cent congressional investigations, which
were of "insurgent” inspiration mainly.
War Records.
The names of Gen. John J. Perehing.
who calls Wyoming hjs home state, and
James W. Gerard, of New York who
was American ambassador in BSrtin
when the war broke out, are heard oc
casionally..
Ralph jB. Straussburger i* a rich
with hich he has said so have made
hilne somewhat of a sure-enough candi
date. His boom is small, to be sure,
and yet creditable considering that he
produced it all by himself out of noth
ing at all.

THE COTTON MARKET
More Favorable Average of Weather and
Crop Advices Led to Renewed Liquida
tion.
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, June 9.—A more favorable •
average of weather and crop advices, led
to renewed liquidation in the cotton
market during today’s early trading. The
opening was weak at a decline of 28 to
39 points, and the market sold off to
27.98 for July, and 25.42 for October
in the first hour, making net losses Os 47
to 56 points on the active positions. Stop
orders were uncovered on the decline,
giving the market a very nervous and
unsettled appearance.
Cotton futures opened weak. July
28.25 to 28.15; Oct. 26.25 : Dec. 24.95;
Jan. 24.75; March 24.83.
Fishing Party Is Pounded to Death.
j Santa Anna, Calif., June B.—Six men
and two boys, members of a fishing party,
were pounded to death on the rocks
of New Port Bay jetty here today when
the launch in which they were heading

CABARRUS FIRST [ staM
TO MAKE REPORT
Beat Rest of State in Filing
With Associated Press the
Complete Primary Returns
Cabarrus county led the State Satur
day night in combiling returns from the
Democratic primary. The county was
the first to make a precinct report to
the Associated Press and was also the
first to make a complete report.
At 8 o'clock returns from nine of the
22 precincts in the county had been re-!
ported to The Tribune and these re-,
turns were immediately flashed over the
State over the leased wire which was in
stalled in The Tribune office. Shortly
after this preliminary report was filed
Editor Sherrill received congratulations
from the Assoeiateed Press men in Ral
eigh on the promptness with which he
had handled the Cabarrus figures.
When The Tribune, shortly after nine
o’clock, filed complete returns from the
county another message of congratula
tions came from the A. P., this message
declaring Cabarrus had been the first
county in the State to file complete re
turns.
At midnight, when the leased wire"
service was stopped for the night, no
other county in the State had reported
its full vote.
"The Tribune was able to send in the
Cabarrus vote early in the night because
of the co-operation it received from the
judges at the various voting places Mr.
Sherrill and Major Foil, the latter
chairman of the county Democratic exec
utive eonlmittee, had written the judges
tsking them to send the results ,to The
Tribune as soon as the vote was counted,
ind the fact that the judges complied
wifli these requests made it possible for
the entire, vote of the county to be flash
ed over the State two hours after the
polls had closed.
Associated Press reports sent out to
morning papers yesterday gave Cabarrus
full credit for the speedy manner ,in
which her votes were ccuivted and the
results dispatched to all iiarts of the
State.
