 A. c. Sexton, Chief Clerk of the Sec retary of State, who was elected Score tary of the College, was directed tc mail the second copy of the certificate of vote to the President of the United States Senate and deliver to Judge Thomas G. Jones the third copy.
 The Presidential elactors just before organization were administered their oaths by Clerk R. F. Ligon of the Su- pi eme Court. They were then called to order by Secretary of State McDavid.
 Secretary of State McDavid occupied the chair until Hon. William H. Sam ford of Troy, was elected President of the College, and 4. c. Sexton, Secretary.
 Elector W. B. Browne of Columbiana, from the Fourth District, had notified the Secretary of State by telegram that he could not attend the meeting. H. w. Laird of Montgomery, was then elected to fill the vacant seat and after bcing sworn in. participated in the de- Alterations of the College.
 The eleven electors next cast their votes for Parker and Davis.
 Edward B. McCarty, one of the elec- tors from the First District. was nom- mated for messenger to Washington by J. W. Overton of Roanoke and Mir. MoCarty made a statement to his as- sociates. He said that he was a cam didate, and felt that he should be sup ported.
 Elector J. R. Rosson of Cullman, nominated R. F. L. Mel of Selma. Both nominations received seconds, but VIII T. Sheehan, who had been nominated and seconded, was declared elected up- of Mir. McCarty. Mir. Sheehan's election was made unanimous.

Therefore, as there Is no record kept of the proceedings of past Alabama electors. the work of other colleges was somewhat initiated.
 Secretary Sexton was authorized to make minutes of the proceedings of yes- terday and keep them On file in the of- fec of Secretary of State. He was unanimously voted a resolution of
