Slipshod Manner by Some OF

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-The certif
Gates of all the state votes cast for presi-
dent and vice-president ought to be in
the hands of the president of the senate
by Monday next. AS matter of fact,
IA states have failed 80 far to comply
with the law by sending on the
electoral certificates by messenger, and
many of those states which have com
piled with the law have done so in 30
slip-shod manner that if the late elec-
tion were in any way close, the official
ascertainment Of the result under the
constitution and laws might be made
almost impossible, and the whole gov
ernrnent might be thrown into chaos.
Many packages brought by the mes
sengers had nothing on the outside to
indicate the contents. Two states sent
their votes to the president OF the
United States" instead of to the "pres-
ident of the Senate" and Idaho sent her
vote to the secretary OF state. 1t is the
marvel of good luck that none of
these packages were torn open and thus
rendered invalid. Many states failed to
endorse on the packages what they con-
tained. They may contain the electoral
vote, or they may not. The president
Of the senate has only the word OF mes-
sengers to assure him that these pack
ages actually contain the votes OF the
states as represented. Some one might
have changed the packages on them.
Senator Mandereon of Nebraska,
president pro tenn of the senate, in the
absence of Vice President Morton, is the
custodian of the electoral certificates.
He said this afternoon: "All the sta tes
have transmitted their electoral votes
by mail, and all have been received by
the president of the senate. The fol.
lowing states have not yet sent their
electoral votes by messenger, at least
they have not yet been received by the
president of the senate: Colorado, Con-
necticu., Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Kentucy, Montana, North Dakota, Ore
gon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Ten
nessee, Washington and Wiscon-
sin-14."
Senator Manderson advocated that
before presidential elections in the fu-
ture an authorized circular of instruc-
tions be addressed to the electoral col.
leges of the different states 30 as to
avoid these perilous misbaps.
1t is understood that Vice President
Morton will be in his seat as president
of the senate on next Monday, the
eventful fourth Monday in January.
