BUILDING on oUICKsAND.

Dr.. MeCune, one OF the Peoples party
managers, is very confident that Weaver
will be elected. Fields election, he says, is
sure. When one examines the basis upon
which this prediction is made. doubt Is
experienced ii McCune is q sound political
prophet. Admitting that the election Of
President may be thrown into the House.
McCune says:
The House would, OF course. elect Mr. Cieye-
land TO the Presidency. Then fbe Senate would
have 10 select Nice-P President from the three
candidates WHO had received the highest number
OF votes at he polls. The constitution prohibits
the President and Vice President coming from
the same state. and tie House having chosen
BIZ. Cleveland first. Mr. Reid would be rendered
Inelg ible. The Senate would, therefore be COM
peeled 10 choose between Mr. Stevenson and Mr.
Field, and there Is little room for doubt that they
would SELECT Mr. Fl ID.
Mr. McCune should read the constitution
before he makes predictions based upon It.
The constitution does not prohibit the Pres
ident and Fice-President from cunning from
the same State. On this point it SAYS: "The
electors shall meet in their respective States
and vote by ballot for President and Vice
President, one OF whom at least shall not
be an inhab!tant Of the same State as them
selves" This applies only to electors. 1t
cannot possibly be construed as applying TO
States delegation in Congress who will
do tie voting il the election goes to the
House. But il Mr. McCune was right in
his reading Of the constitution it Is by no
means certain that the House would elect a
President before the Senate would elect a
Vice President. The Senate chooses from
two and the House from three candidates
receiving the largest electoral vote. The
Senate is the smaller body and can put the
rollcall through the quicker. II the Re-
publicans could gain President in the
event Of the election going TO the House by
electing Viee-President before the House
could elect a President. the Democratic
candidate would stand no show whatever.

and could furnish electricity enough to light
more than 1000 lamps, and it seemed to
electricians as though he was Justified In
such opinion. Within a few days electrical
experts and those who have put their capt.
tai into electric companies have been talk
ing a great deal about a dynamo built by
George Westinghouse Jr. which will furnish
lights for 10000 lamps. 1t is one OF several
dynamos which are to be exactly alike, for
the Worlds Fair in Chicago. Nearly 10000
incandescent lamps will depend on the
dynamos for their capacity to make brilliant
tie buildings and the grounds.

But why was ii necessary to invent the sem

"Mr. Meglers proposals of marriage to

exception. been mailed from Portland,

returned to New York, his native city, and

he thinks he can be treated quite right By

''Megler wrote Miss Helen Gould as fol-

''Megler wrote To Miss Jennie Flood,
daughter of the late James C.. Flood in a
similar vein, and also made inquiry of
John Jacob AstOr and Charles Crocker, the
San Francisco millionaire, if they had any
unmarried daughters. Megler said that
Mr.. Croker, while on visit to Portland.
made inquiry about him at the store where
he was employed. and that he was battered
at having attracted Mr.. Crocker's atten-

directed to Miss ClOthilde Palms, daugh-
