tuition says;
mo Senator or Representative, ol

The Office of postmaster is clearly
one Of "trust or profit" and these per
sons are therefore ineligible. The hold
ing Of the Courts, we believe, has uni
formly been that ballots cast for an in
eligible candidate are wholly void.

readers that in 1915 w, D. PATTON ant

rious anomaly would be presented. The
Constitution prescribes that each State
shall have one vote. OF course the
Congressional majority Of each State
would decide its vote, and New York
having a Republican majority, would
cast its one vote for Hayes, while Ohio,
with a Democratic Congressional ma

would stand twenty three for Tildeh as
