WHITNEY WILL NOT SERVE

He, WoOdlcard and Straus Resign
as National Electors.

The special committee appointed to pass on
the eligibility OF Harry Payne Whitney James
T. Woodward and Isador Straus to act as cleo
tors on the national Democratic ticket has re-
ported adversely. Cord Meyer. chairman OF the
Democratic State Committee. yesterday made
the following statement:
I have received the opinion OF Messrs. Horn
whether national bank directors are eligible
electors. I have also received designations from
ney and Isidor Straus. candidates for electors on
the Democratic ticket in this state They have
cess is such that. in their opinion. no possible
9dates for electors and that as doubt has been
expressed as to their eligibility. their duty the
party is plain: and they have therefore cheerfully
retired from the ticket
Mr. Meyer said that the vacancies caused by
these designations would be filed by the State
committee later. but he could not tell when the
State committee would meet or who would be
appointed The opinion in full is follows:
Hon. Cord Meyer. Chairman. Democratic State
Dear Sir: We have been requested by you to
holding the position OF director or officer OF
elector OF President and vice-President OF the
The Constitution OF the United States provides.
by Article II. Section l. Clause 2:
equal to the whole number of Senators and Repre-
the Congress; but no Senator or representative or
the United States shall be appointed an elector.'
The object sought TO be attained by this pro-
vision OF the Constitution TO secure to Presi-
Dental electors tE the discharge of their duties
entire freedom from federal Presidential infiu-
ence
The question whether directors or officers OF ma
tonal banking associations hold offices 'of trust
or profit under the United States is one OF doubt.
The fact that directors of national banks e.
CURED by the United States statutes 70 take an
oath and file the same with the ContrCeier Of the
Currency. and the fact that national banks may
be made repositories OF public moneys or financial
agents Of the United States bring those institutions
into such close relationship 20 the federal gov
eminent that it may be claimed that directors OF
such institutions come within the spirit. IL not
within the letter. of the constitutional prohibition
The momentous results which may flow from a
contested question OF eligibility in close Presi-
Dental election make II extremely unwise 10 incur
the risk incident TO the existence Of any such
question. Experience has shown that the vote OF
single elector may Determine the result OF
Presidential election We may add that the view
here expressed has been so generally entertained
that 1t has been the practice heretofore. IN both
parties, to avoid the selection of officers or al
rectors OF national banks Presidential electors
and where they have been selected 1t has been
deemed advisable that they resign their Connection
with the national bank withdraw from the cleo
toral ticket. Very truly yours,
