Nominating a Prealdent.

Until the constitutional amendment
Of 1904 the president ard the vice pres
ldent were voted for on the same bal
lot, the man with the second highest
number of votes becoming vice presi-
dent. The presidential electors have
not always been chosen by popular
vote.
Before 1890 1t was the general Gus
tom for the state legislatures to choose
the electors, and it was not until 1923
that presidential electors were chosen
In nearly all the states by popular vote.
As late as 1876 the Colorado Legislature
chose the three presidential electors to
represent that state. There is nothing
I'm the constitution to prevent any state
legislature naming its own electors
without appeal to the people provided
such method of election Is prescribed
by the state laws.
From 1900 to 1921 presidential candi-
dates were chosen by The members of
congress In caucus. In 1924 the elect
oral college failed to make choice
from the candidates so submitted. and
the matter went to the house of repre-
sontativcs. -Four years later Tennes-
sees legislature nominated Andrew
Jackson without any reference to the
congressional caucus. LIS opponent,
John Quincy Adams, was nominated in
the old way. hut that was the end of
presidential nominations by congres-
sional caucus.-New York Sun.

The Diaputed Name of the war.

The Disputed Name OF the war
The Confederate Veterans. in their
annual convention In Louisville, decld-
cd that the war OF 1868 should be
known as tue "war between the
states" This is the name that Alexan-
der H. Stephens favored. and It Is the
one generally used by the people of the
south in speaking of that war, the
northern people calling II the rebellion.
Strange it is that neither name is cor
rect dafntiotf of the event. All know
that there was no rebellion. States that
had sovereignty could not be guilty Of
rebellion. Neither was It war be-
tween the states, but actually q war
between two governments made up Of
states. Some writers call II a civil war,
yet II was not war between citizens
in their civil capacity, but, as before
said d war between regularly organ
lied governments. There is, In fact, no
concise way of naming the conflict;
hence these misnomers. Possibly the
best title would be the simple one Of
