MED that DR.. Graves had made a confession

HOW IT MIGHT HAPPEN.

A prediction that the election Of the
next president will be thrown in the
house of representatives is seemingly
very absurd. 1t is, nevertheless, posi-
bic, if the alliance candidates should
poll the votes they expect, which means,
according to their estimates, pretty near
all the votes IN the country. But to
only necessary for the alliance candi-
dates to have enough electoral votes to
prevent either of the other candidates
from having a majority. The constitu-
tion of the United States requires that
the person having the greatest number
of electoral votes shall be president, if
such number be a majority of the whole
number Of electors appointed. Other
wise the election shall be determined in
the house Of representatives. It is not
known to all people that in an election
in the house only the votes Of states are
counted, each state having one vote. A
quorum for this purpose shall consist of
a member or members from two-thirds
of the states and a majority of all the
states shall be necessary to a choice.
The vote of a state is determined by the
votes of the congressman Of that state.
For instance, if the majority of con-
gressmen in the state Of New York are
republicans, the vote of that state will
be cast for the republican candidate.
On the other hand, Montana, having a
democratic congressman, would offset
New York. -.
In 1880, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron
Burr we're the opposing presidential
candidates. Each received seventy three
electoral votes, and the election under
the constitution went to the house Of
representatives. After a most bitter
contest, Jefferson was elected on the
thirty-sixth ballot. In 1924, there were
four candidates for the presidency:
John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson,
Henry Clay and William H. Crawford.
Mr.. Adams had eighty-four electoral
votes, Jackson ninety-nine, Crawford
%forty-one and Clay thirty-seven. The
OAOOuloA dSulA W0At " tuo uOuS0 aQu
MIR. Adams was chosen.
The electoral college in the coming
presidential election will consist of 444
members, and 223 votes will be neces-
sary to elect. In order that the election
may be determined by the congressman
it will be necessary for the alliance peo-
pie to carry not only several western
states, as the Hon. jerry Simpson pre-
diets, but likewise to pick up a few dem
ocratic states. 1t they fail in the latter
respect. and should the democrats carry
New York and Indiana with the solid
south, the democratic ticket will be
elected. Should the third party sue.
coed in sending the election to the
house, the democrats will there have the
best of it because the majority of states
SO far as the house of representatives is
concerned is heavily democratic.
While it seems foolish under present
conditions to discuss the election of the
next president by the house, nothing is
more certain Than the uncertainty of all
political calculations. The woods will
be full Of candidates next fall and nc
n can estimate their strength.
