Congress Wants All Certificates
Of Election Uniform.
PRESENT PLAN A FAILURE
Presidential Electors. Seastoss and Rep
ssssa,ssivss VIII Use The same Kind
cs niank--uood Idea.

WARRINGTON. Jan. "a The misslng
certificates OF the electoral college cf
fourteen states. which ougat 10 have
been delivered by special messenger
into tho hands Of the president ot tho
senate before The fourth Monday in
January. have none Of them come to
hand today, but intmations have been
received that most OF them are on the
way, and may be expected tomorrow.
Obviously the intention Of the law. IN
providing that one set Of certificates
snould he cent by mail, and another
should De forwarded by duly author
lied special messenger, endorsed on
the outside with the names Of the
electors sending il. was 10 provide for
the verifcation. by the house Of con-
gress, of the certificates sent by mail,
by their counterpsrts delivered 10y hand
by trusiy commissioned messenger.
The failure of so many OF the states
to comply with this obviously neces-
cary precaution in q matter OF such
vital importance as the election of
president and yice-presldent, hae called
attention to the advisabiiity of the pas
sage of q general law to regulate the
form Of certificate to be issued in such
cases, and aleo IN the case of the cleo
ton of United States senator's and
members of congress.
The Remedy.
1t Is suggested that blank form ap-
plicable TO each of these cases should
be established by law of congress,
and that the state department should
be required to send out . sufficient
number of forms to the state governors
and once in four years to the electoral
colleges through the governors of the
states, leaving only names and dates to
be filled IN.
At present. for instance, the certifi-

cieut TO authenticate the fact certified
to, all the way up to document, re-
quirIng an hour to read, embOdying an
abstract of the journal of the legsla-
ture during the whole of its sessions on
the senatorial matter.
1t is being strongly urged that SIM
pie certificate could be prescribed by
congress which would obviate all fu-
ture dangers of failure to properly GER
tify the action of the electoral colleges,
and which would also simplify the Gre
Dental of members of congress- and
senator's; and a bill to this effect will
probably be introduced during the
