In the first place the theory of gov

Now. for an analogy: The senate OF
the United States has for its presiding
officer the vice president. The primary
object of his election is that in case of
the death or disability of the president
he may succeed to the Office of presi-
dent. incidentally, that he may not be
wholly unemployed, he is made presi-
dent of the senate. In that capacity he
