Will give a good account of herself.
Surrounded by hostile forces on all
sides, the Fatherland is now making
fight for its existence. That it
will fight with all the patriotic vigor
Of old and that the issue will not be
divided in preliminary skirmisbes
goes without saying. Germany is
prepared and undaunted and un-
afraid in meeting the issue. Let the
historic friendship of Germany for
America and the many ties of blood
that stretch across the seas to the
Fatherland plead for fair play and
fair judgment until the truth shall
be known.

SUPREME COURT
DECIDES PUZZLE
Gott Allowed to Retire From At
torney General Fight; Other
Nominees

In an opinion by McCarran, j., Tai
bot, c. j., concurring, the questions
arising out of the candidacy of R. A.
Gott, r. H. Mckay and George
Springmeyer for nomination in the
primaries for the office of Attorney
General, were settled. Gott is per-
mitted to withdraw, but Mckay is
denied permission and is declared the
Republican nominee and George
Springmeyer is denied permission to
have his name put on the primary
ticket as a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination.
The decision is based on the fact
that there is no specific provision in
the election Act forbidding candi-
date having declared himself, to SUBJ
sequently withdraw. This permitted
Gott to retire, but he having done
so left no party contest for the Of
flee, thus making Mckay ipso facto
the sole candidate and requiring the
Secretary of State to omit his name
from the ballot but nevertheless to
certify him as the Republican nom-
inee for the office.
AS to Springmeyer's request to
have his name placed in the Repub-
lican column as candidate. it is re-
fused for the reason that the appli-
cation did not conform substantially
with the requirements of the law.
1t is presumed by a party of rea-
soning that the Secretary of State
will be required to certify Spring
meyer as the nominee of the Pro-
gressive party, and George B.
Thatcher as the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party, so that their names
will not appear on the primary bal
lot.
Norcross, j., presented dissent
ing opinion.
Subdivision nine, section Ia, chap
ter 8 of the election law, found on
page SIT of the laws of 1918. pro-
vides:
where there is no party contest
for any Office. the name of the can
didate for party nomination shall be
omitted from the ballot and shall be
certified by the proper officer as a
nominee of his party for such office. "

Congressman Roberts Wins

spective States. The Ohio Repre-
sentative was fioored, finished and
fuzzled when Roberts trimmed him
off as follows;

Ohio, from which the gentleman
who just spoke halls. does not COM
pare any more with the State from

Deal Fall Through

George Wingfeld and the Gold
field Con. have decided that they dc
not want the Elko Prince property
at Gold Circle. 1t is reported that
there is Sl.250. 1000 in sight in the
mine and that the price was fixed at
only $3.50, 900. The reason, it is ru-
mored. that the sale was not consum-
ated is that the values in the bot
tom of the mine have run down.
That should not be cause for con-
demning a mine. for values vary
from one level to another and on the
next level below the ore may return
to its former high value. Battle

SHELTERS UNABLE TO
SETTLE FOR ORE
Definite Plan to Overcome Lack of Quo
tations to Be Arranged


Ore settlements are being held up.
The various companies buying eres
say they cannot settle until they re-
ceive quotations as to the prices, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. Although the
smelter officials have been expecting
quotations daily they have received
none since Friday. They are con-
tinuing to buy ore and to treat it. but
they say that they are unable to
make any settlement until the metal
market rights itself. All shippers
have been advised to this effect.
General Manager C. w. Whitley of
the American Smelling & Refining
Company said yesterday that within
very short time he hoped to be able
to announce to mine operators ship
ping to the Murray and Garfield
plants some definite plan by which
ore settlements would be made. G..
w. HeintZ, manager of the United
States Smelling, Mining & Refining
Company, said that none of the COM
pany's mines producing lead, silver or
copper would be closed. He also said
that the smelter at Midvale would
continue operations. When asked re-
garding the smelters accepting Gus
tom ores. he said that their closing
would depend entirely upon the min
ing companies shipping to them.
Shippers of copper ores who have
been looking into the metal market
situation express the opinion that the
markets of Europe closed to copper
cannot remain closed very long. They
advance the argument that if the war
in Europe continues the countries
fighting will be forced to buy copper
or to stop fighting. They see moth
ing but bright future for the cop
per industry of the United States, for
they point out that if the war stops
there will be an advance in copper
due to the sudden demand with a
curtailed supply.
In order to tide over the present
difficulty, due to lack of ore settle
ments, some of the shippers have ad-
vanced the plan of having the smelt-
ers pay to the shippers percentage
of the values Of copper. lead and sill
yer In the ores. such percentage to
give the shippers money enough to
pay the operating expenses, includ-
ing the wages of the men working in
the mines and mills.
