Says the Indianapolis Journal:
"The Democratic position in regard
to Oregon is that one elector could fill
the Board by electing two, but two
couldn't fill the Board by electing one.
The beauty of the claim is intensified
by the fact that the one Democratic
elector who attempted to act was de-
feated by more than 100 votes, while
the two Republicans elected were
elected by that majority.
