(No. 54), which fixes the place of execution
and desgnates the executioner in those
cases where the death penalty has been
imposed. Under the present law, If the
death sentence is imposed in any county
of the State south Of certain counties des-
fgnated in the statutes the execution would
have to take place at Jeffersonville, but a
change in the character of the institution
there makes it necessary that the execu-
tions shall take place In the future at
Michigan City. The bill further provides
that the warden of the state prison at
Michigan City shall be the executioner. Be-
fore adjournment various other bills re-
ferred to the committee were distributed

QUEER FEATURES In OUR ELEC-
TORAL SYSTEM.

The recent meeting of the presidential
electors in the various State capitals to
cast their votes for President and Vice
President called attention to some of the
anomalies I'm our presidential electoral
system, but there are others. There seems
to be no good reason why the final steps
in giving effect to the voice of the people
stands more than two months elapse after
the election before the presidential cleo
tors meet in the various State capitals to
record the popular verdict, and another
ond Wednesday in February, opens and
counts the electoral votes. There appears
TO be no sufficient reason for this delay
and 1t might result in serious embarrass-
ment. For example, If the successful can
didate in the popular election should die
before the electors meet on the second
Monday of January they would be without
any instructions as to whom to vote for,
and If the successful candidate should die
after the electors have voted on the Sec
votes are counted by Congress on the Sec
ond Wednesday of February the situation
would be still more embarrassing Mr.. Nc
Einley has already been chosen by a ma
jority of the Electoral College and is there
fore President-elect well as President
in fact. but If he were 10 die before the
counting of the votes on the second
Wednesday in February the succession to
the office would only be provided for during
the remainder OF his present term For
that brief period the succession would de-
volye on the secretary of state and other
Cabinet officers in order. But Congress
could not dictate the election OF dead
man, and II he had died before entering
upon his second term the succession law
would not apply. These remote contingent
cies might all be avoided by having the
final steps in the election of President fol-
low closely after the popular election in
stead Of two and three months later.
Another curious anomaly In our present
system, though OF no practical Importance.
is that, notwithstanding the various formal
| steps in the choice of President he is
| never officially notified of his election and
receives no commission or certificate of the
| count by Congress. He is expected TO pre-
sent himself in Washington on the 4th
OF March and take the oath OF office. but
no committee notifies him OF his election
as they do of his nomination. As no
prasident-elect has declined to serve for
lack of official notification OF his election.
and as this embarrassing contingency Is
not likely TO arise. the omission is not i'm
portant, but II Is curious.
