Tho designation OF the day for hold.
ing the Presidential election is left to
Congress. The first act passed by il
relating 10 that subject WIS in 1872
1t provided that Presidential electors
should be appointed "wItLing 81 days
before the first Wednesday in Decem
ber." This left each state free to
select day to suit itself within those
limits. Pennsylvania chose electors
ON the last Friday in October. Other
States elected theirs on different
days between the beginning and
middle Of November.
