General White Elected.

Returns from the Congressional con-
test in this district indicate the cleo
ton of General Harry White by ma
jority of about /, 100. Indiana county
gives him, 2,i97; Armstrong 700;
Forest 60. This county gives Mr.
jerks GAG, and Clarion, 1921.
The contest was one Of the most
severe within our experience, and the
result in this county shows how closely
Republicans adhered TO their candi-
date, reducing Mr.. jerks majority Of
two years ago four hundred votes.
Perhaps there were other reasons for
this falling off. Two years ago Mr..
jerks had made no record as Demo-
crat, and his neighbors having full
fnith in his ability as a lawyer and
knowing him TO be q true gentleman,
stepped out Of party lines to elect him
to the honorable position of Congress
rnan. His record as q member, how
ever, was that of q Democratic par
tizan, every measure proposed in cau-
cua receiving his support, and now he
is measured. not on his merits as q
gifted attorney and courteous gentle
man, but as the material of which q
Democratic member fer this 18th Con-
gressional district is composed. We
opposed Mr.. jerks election from this
standpoint, and we are pleased to
know that In the heat Of the contest
no one so far forgot themselves as to
allow their party feeling 10 lead them
into personal contest.
OF the successful candidate we have
taken frequent occasion to express our
opinion, and we viii now just add,
that he is not an untried man, our peo-
pie know him to be trustworthy, and
that il the ensuing Congress thoy
shall not be misrepresented. Brook

Choosing a President.

Every voter will unders tand Ey this
time that lie does not vote directly for
President and Vice President. That
might be the best way, but it was not
so provided in the Constitution. He
votes for as many electors as his State
has Congressman and Senators. In
this State we have 20 because We have
q members OF Congress and two L.
S. Senators. The whole number OF
electors in the United states is 1863.
necessary to choice le5. These cleo
tors are generally selected by the State
Conventional each party, and voted
for by the people st the polls. In some
States, Colorado for instance, the cleo
tors are selected by the Legislature,
being Republican or Democratic ac.
cording to the politics of that body.
The electors who are elected meet at
the capital OF their respective States
and vote by ballot for President and
Vice President. The certified record
of this vote is transmitted 10 the Prcsi-
dent of the Z. 5. Senate. On given
day the Senate and House meet in
joint convention and in their presence
the President Of the Senate opens all
the certificates and the electoral votes
are counted. The person having the
greatest number of votes for President
shall be President if such number be a
majority of the whole number of cleo
tors appointed; and if no person have
such majority, then, from the persons
having the highest number, not eX-
cceding three, on the list of those
voted for rs President, the House OF
Representatives shall choose i'm
mcdiately, by ballot, the President.
But IN choosin G the President, the
votes shall be taken by States, the
representative from each State having
one vote,
Some former Congresses adopted q
,oint rule providing that either House
might object to the vote of State and
throw it or. But Congress failed to
adopt this JOHN rule at The last session,
SO no such provision now exists. An
effort was made by Senator Morton
last winter to have the Constitution
so amended as to refer all such ques-
tions TO the Supreme Court But the
Democratic House took no action in
the matter and the whole power OF
deciding any contested case Will rest
with Senator Terry, of Michigan, the
President of the Senate since the
death of Vice President.
