Ore Shipments of
the Pioche District

Ore shipments for the week ending
October 2lst. were up to the recent
average. Che policy OF the Salt Lake

large shippers are making preparations
to suspend operations and some have
already done SO. Definite assurances
Of prompt favorable action have been
given the large shippers by officials
of the railroad who are cognisant with

enans Important Factor
in the Primary Result

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. G.-Georgia. for
the third time within less than six
months, has repudiated the League Of
Nations and cast her vote for bitter
opponent of President Wilson. The
latest reverse for the Presidents poll
cles came to-day in what appears at
this hour to be the sweeping victory
OF Thomas w. Hardwick, former United
States Senator, over Clifford Walker.
former Attorney General of Georgia,
Mr.. Walker stood fatfooted for the
league and in strong defense of the
policies and the actions of the Prcsi
dent He assailed Hardwick for his
stand during the war, denounced him
for his defense Of L. c. A. K. Martens,
Bolshevik Ambassador to the United
States" and predicted the coming Of
Soviet propaganda into Georgia.
Hardwick was defeated for reclec-
ton to the Senate during the war be-
cause Of his antagonsm to the war
policies of the President, and was
charged with hampering the Admins
tratlon in the prosecution of that great
struggle. He based his present race
on opposition to the League Of Nations.
Hardwicis Aided by Watson
In his battle Hardwck was aided bv

candidate for the Presidency, whose
paper, The Jeffersonian, was suppressed

own feet, needs no foreign help, wants
no foreign entanglemenJs and should
revert to the policies of Monroe. Jetfer-
son, jackson and Washington
The first defeat Tor the league issue
in Georgia came when almost two
thirds of the state went against the
pact in the Presidential primary. About
one-third of the voters were for Sena-
tor Smith, who favored the league, but
with strong reservations; more than
one-third Tor Watson, who opposed
any kind of covenant, and one third
tor A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney Gen
eral, who stood for the pact. Palmer
got the delegation as TIE result of
small plurality of the county unit vote
Then came the first primary, when
Watson swept the state by an enor-
nous vote over Governor Hugh Dorsey.

two opponents. In the primary Hard

votes of being nominated

mated, and Walker and IIardwick ran
