 1 Atlanta, Nov. 9-The people of Geor- g1a-a great many of then1--are won dering if the I<u kIux Klan really played an important part in the recent primary elections in which Governor Thomas w. Hardwicll suffered two crushing defeats, first for governor and again for senator.
 . In the first primary Eardwick was an avowed foe Of certain practices of the Ku I<lux KIan and in the course of his campaign succeeded in having Edward Young Clarke, then acting imperial wizard, issue an order for bidding the use of the mask in public fin Georgia The Klan apparently was behind the candidacy of Clifford Walk CT, who was nominated over Hardwick. In the Senatorial election no men, ton was made of the klan, but Hard wick was beaten ever more soundly this time.
 However, a questionable light was thrown on the power of the Klan to do this or that as it chooses in Geor- gia politics by the results iii the case of Carl M. Hutcheson. an avowed Klansnan, who openly declared his stand for the Klan in his campaign for judge of the Fulton County Su- perior Court. He was badly beaten.
 Still another name was brought into the light when Walter Sims, another open packer cf the Klan, Was elected mayor of Atlanta over Janes Wood ward. who had held the office some years previously. Sims victory un- der the circumstances was not at all impressive, although he had previously eliminated a foe of the Klan in an earlier primary.
 Political students in the state, with out any exceptions, so far as this cor respondent could learn, now declarej that HardwiCk's defeats are due to things entirely foreign to Klan prin- ciples.
 Billy Har1wiclz Chis friends call him Billy) was beaten because he ad- Vocated more taxes for the farmers and free text books in the public schools" said one man who prOba bly, is closer to the real pulse of the people than any other man in the state.
 Cliff Walker came out and said he was against these things, but was in favor of increased pensions. That creates a situation similar to that in Washington where President Harding vetoed a bonus bill because the bill Q did not provide means to raise the funds. Georgia hasn't the funds, eith- CT. but the people voted for Walker just the same.'
 there had been a serious rupture be- tween Senator Watson and Governor Hardwick some time before Senator sWatsons death and expressed the be- lief that Watson's friends voted solidly against Hardwick in the senatorial battle for that season. Add to that the fact that Senator Harris, the senior senator from Georgia, issued a state ment the morning of the primary de- nounCing Hardwicl<'s candidacy and Rpppealing to Watson men to vote

against the governor, and the po1itt- elan said the overwhelming defeat of Hardwick was 8 certainty, Klan or no Klan.
 Voronoff's gland operations and their possibilities of prolongtng live have reopened the question in France of who is the record modern Methu- Saleh. Marie Pr1OuX, born in 1880, lived 158 years, according to what are believed to be reliable records. She has been awarded the French title.
 A Hungarian. Pierre zorton, who died January 5, 1724, attained the age of 1s5 years: A French surgeon, -Ds. man named GiIlour MacCrain reached the age of 200 years in 1755.
 However, despite all these things, it is noticeable, and glaringly so, that Georgia, and who have not previously announced their opposition to the klan, are wearing a path to the doors of the imperial palace on Peachtree road. The huge building is the scene of many conferences, and they are not all with Georgians, either.
 Still, Georgians who are not mem bers of the Klan, wonder considerably about the Klan's strength within the state. A great many of them go so far to pooh-pooh the Klan vote or soidity. Many more of them have reached the conclusion that the K1an has made no effort to endorse Georgia candidates.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago, May 29.-Wheat suddenly be-
came a drug on the market in Chicago
today, burdening owners and smashing
prices at the last more than 10 cents a
bushel as compared with earlier in the
board of trade session. Nearly $50 car
loads had arrived here today, and with
prospective further heavy receipts tomor-
row and next day adding to big accum-
ulation already at hand, seemed to put
an overwhelming weight on prices.
The market .closd unstable at Is
cents to six cents net decline, with May
and July both $1.1S 3-4 to S1.1S 7-s and
September $1.16 ga to $1.16 rs.
Corn finished 7-S to 1 1-2 cents down,
an doats off 3-S to ga cents. In provi-
sions, the outcome varied from unchanged
figures to IL cents higher.
Although it was definitely known before
the opening that new arrivals of wheat
here today would exceed 500 carloads, the
fact that deliveries on May contracts,
$4,000 bushels were Of less magnitude
than had generally been looked for led
to temporary upturn in prices. Talk
about Germany getting a billion dollar
loan tended also to stimulate buying on
the part of traders who were still hanging
on hopes that by some nearly miraculous
chance the final settlement of May wheat
contracts would force the wheat market
into wild jumps in price.
Leading holders OF wheat were quick t.
take advantage of the transactions In the
market, and began to unload while there
was a good opportunity This change o.
front, however, had boomerang effec
as soon as the rank and file Of dealers
grew aware of the situation. A genera
selling movement was precipitated, an,

FINANCIAL And Commercial!
MARKET WAS ACTIVE

New York. May Blooming between
the weekend recess and an impending
holiday today's stock market session
displayed unexpected activity, breadth
and strength. The diversified dealings,
mainly at substantial gains, aggregated
1,225,000 shares.
Speculative interest continued to CEN

by the railroad labor board evidently be-
ing regarded as a decided offset to the
Forthcoming reduction in freight rates.
Numerous railway issues were lifted
one to two points during the forenoon.
but considerable part of this gain was
cancelled or materially reduced later on
expectation that maintenance of way and
railway shop employees might order a
strike vote on the wage question.
The market was put to another test
of it's endurance just before the close on
news that United States supreme court
had declared that Southern Pacific-Cen-
trail Pacific combination illegal This
precipitated additional selling and &C
centuated the irregular tone at the end.
Other prominent features of the early
and intermediate periods embraced many
domestic and foreign oils, notably Mexi-
can Petroleum and Standard Oils of New
Jersey and California, Phillips Petroleum
and General Asphalt.
| Steels, motors and equip
ments rose one to six points while the
advance was under way, rubbers, tobac-
cos, sugars and the usual miscellaneous
stocks also making pronounced gains, bu
