Of great interest is the race between n
Governor Thomas !W. Illardwick, who A
Is seeking re-nomi'ukion, and.C4iWord t,
W. Walker, who'whs defeated in the ti
primary two years ago. 'Mr. Hard
wick, who was on the ticket with Uni- m
ted States Oenator Thomas E. Watson
in 1920, has been accused by the sena- u
tor,.of hdving "broken faith" with his g
constituonts, while Mr. Walker has t;
the stupNort of Mr. Watson, who op- 11
)osed liml in the last race. Spokes- 1,
men for Senator Watson have charged g
that the'governor has entered into an t<
alignment of forces with former Seha-. t
tor Hoke (Smith, who was defeated by 1
fMr. Veitson in 1920, with the view of r
capturing for themselves tile seats in v
the United States senate now held by Ip
Senator William J. flarris and Mr. N
Watson. Air. Harris' term will expire
in 1925 and Mr. '\Vatson's in 1927. t
Governor iHardwick has denied hav- I
lng "broken faith" with anyone, add
ing:
" have never -broken a promise 1
.to Sinator Watson, thave never made
a promise to Senator Watson andti
lhave never been asked to maxe a I
promise to Senator Watson."
The Ku Klux Klan issue was thrust
\into the campaign -by the governor
1 when he demanded that they go un- T
masked except in lodge rooms, and
iwhen in several lof his campaign I
speeches he declared:
"I am opnosed to invisible govern
nent, either from the city of Washing- ,
ton or the imperial palace of the Ku i
Klux Klan, or from anywhere else."
-ie has declared that the country still I
is in the midst of a "i)eriod of 'unrest, s
eof crime waves and it is unfortunate V
that another Ku Kulx Klan sh'ould be
organized at this time." E
Mr. Walker has refrained from dis
cussing the klan rissue and has con- I
lined his s)eeches l)ricipally to dis
cussion of tax questions.
Six of the twelve congressmen seek
ing renomination have encounteredli
opposition, the race of Mayor James
L. Key, of Atlanta, and Ralph 0.
Cochran, seeking the seat now held
b by Rpresentative William D. Upshaw,
who .s after the renomination from
the fifth district, attracting most at
tention. In the ilrst district, Repre
sentative J. W. kOverstreet is Opposed
by It. L. Moore, of Statesboro, and
Judge J. j. Flynt, former president
of the state senate and former chair
man of the state (lemocratic executive
committee, is running against Repre
sentative K. W. Wise, fron the sixth
district. Representatiive Charles 11.
aBrand, of the eighth district, and Rep
resentative Thomas Il. Bell, of the
ninth -district, also are being opposed
in 'their races for' renomination.

which he explained in detail to
on the statements 'of the miners or
to give out anything official onl the
report.
Just one week after 47 miners were
entombed in the main shaft of the fa
mous Argonaut mine by fire which
broke out in the midway levels, res
cue work*ers continued their unabated
efforts this morning to reach the %Ipot
where the men are thought to'be trap
ped.
The question as to the likelihood of
rescuing the miners alive, asked and
answered on every hand today seemed
to leave only a spark of hope in the
minds of bereaved wives and children
of the men held in the mother lode.
By all previous experience in mine
disasters, the men are thought to be
dead.
There was a growing belief here
that the entombed men climbed from
the lower'levels of the mine during the
first hours of their incarcerations
through the drifts leading to the ti ul
doon air shaft and were caught in the
poisonous fumes which are ever pres
ent there.
The rescue work continued and the
present Irogress of tihe work indi
cates the entombed men will be reach
ed about Thursday morning.
