In Nelsonville the Non Partisan League of Athens County led by H. T. Rainey opened a ten day campaign aimed at uniting the labor vote to defeat Governor Martin L. Davey in the Democratic primary on Aug. 9. Speakers John Owens and Thomas Price blasted Davey and warned of outsize spending by the Davey forces. Owens, president of District 6 UMWA, asserted miners must ignore state pressure to sign loyalty pledges and defended the United Mine Workers stance against company demands. Price urged action against the claimed coercive tactics and highlighted the need for labor solidarity and proper wage and production policies.
