Entered by Totals and Tables.
Great care is exercised about marking
up the various states correctly and in
their alphabetical order, because the
announcement of the vote alone would
suffice to elect the President and Vice
President. When the Senate returns to
its chamber, its telIers take care to re-
port the result, which is entered in the
Senate Journal and also printed in the
Record. "The state of the vote for
PRESIDENT and "the state of the vote
for Vice President" will be noted by
totals and also in a separate table.
At these presidential elections that
Congress holds, the choice must be by
majority over all. There is no danger
of its being otherwise next February.
But when there are more than two can
didates, having votes in the electoral
college and no one has a majority
something that has not happened since
the election of John Quincy Adams-it
will take more than 81 minutes to elect
a President and Vice President. For
the very first thing after the big count,
the House would proceed to elect a
President, voting for him by states,
each state having but one vote and a
majority of the states being necessary
to elect. But they would have to choose
from the three candidates who were
highest on the electoral list.
Then the Senate would hold an cleo
tion all by itself for Vice President,
two-thirds of the whole number being
required to hold such an election which
must carry by majority of all the
Senate.
Raises Constitutional Questions.
Carefully as the requirements for a
presidential election have been framed,
a number of interesting constitutional
points are raised and discussed every
four years and probably will be raised
again LBlS WiHLcI. HG ulUSb StI1OlS VI
these questions is: "'What would hap
pen in case of the death of either the
President-elect or the Vice President
elect between the second Wednesday
of February and March 4 followingp'
AS far as known no constitutional
lawyer has ever answered that question
satisfactorily.
1t costs lot of money to collect this
vote of the electoral college and the
Federal government has to foot most
of the bills. Following an old time
practise three separate records of the
electoral vote in each of the fortysix
states are made. One is kept by the
state electors, one is sent to Washing
ton by registered mall or express, and
still another copy is taken to Washing
ton by messenger.
The designation as messenger is much
sought by electors. Each is paid ex'
penses and mileage, which amounts to
a pretty penny. By the middle of Jan
uary these messengers will begin troop
ing into Washington. Of course there
will be forty-six of them in all. They
make straight for the Vice President s
Office, where they are generally intro
duce by Senators or members or both
from their home states. The trip is
awaited of by many of the messengers
to see the city and to participate some,

Representatives Joseph H. Gaines, OF
West Virginia; and Gordon Russell. of
Texas, took seats at the long table in

up on specially prepared broad sheets
of stiff paper.

No other medicine has been SO
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gem
uine testimonials as has Lydia L.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any daymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkhamis Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pnkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is SO
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health

Votes in Two Big Boxes.

The greatest caution is observed in
the count of the votes, which are always
trundled over to the House, along with
the senatorial procession, in two elabo-
rate boxes, made on the Vice Presi-
dent s order. The votes of the electors,
as decided upon at Tuesdays election,
will be east at the respective state cap
itals during January and then forward
ed to Washington. The Secretary of
State and the Vice President both have
to do with the collection and guarding
of these votes. First and last there is
considerable formality about it. The
two boxes in which the votes are trans
mitted to the House become the perqui-
sites of the Vice President.
There are probably at least a score
of families in this country that treasure
couple OF those boxes as heirlooms.
A man, who never was Vice President,
but performed the duties of that office
Senator William P Frye, of Maine
has had four of those ballot boxes,
which is said to be more than any
other man ever had. That is because
he was presiding officer of the Senate
during periods that covered two presi-
Dental elections.
The ritual for the election is quite as

mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Although
the noise and the shouting dies away
and popular interest wanes with Tues
days balloting for President and Vice
President of the United States, it will
be more than three months before the
real, though purely formal. election of
those two highly important officials
takes place Tuesdays presidential
election is not a presidential election at
all in the strict meaning of the Consti-
tuition The real presidential election
will be held in the hall of the House
of Representatives at Washington on
the afternoon of the second Wednesday
of next February. 1t will be a very for
NAL and solemn affair, interspersed with
cheering from the galleries. 1t is such
a cut and dried affair and is 'Epulled
off, with such precision and punctil-
iousness quadrennially that one can tell
beforehand what is going to happen.
For instance, it is entirely safe to
say that on the second Wednesday af-
ternoOn of next February at 10 minutes
to l o'clock, the Senate will take re-
cess and a grave procession will form
and march along the main corridor of
the Capitol. 1t will be headed by Vice
President Fairbanks, Secretary Bennett
and Sergeant-at-arms Ransdell. There
will be an entry in the Congressional
Record of the next morning as to how
they "preceded and proceeded" to the
House and also an entry to this effect:
"'The Senate returned to its chamber
at l o'clock and 80 minutes D. m. and
the Vice President resumed the chair. -
For in recent years it has taken Just
80 minutes to hold the real presidential
election. Perhaps the existence of an
additional state, Oklahoma, whose vote
must be counted and proclaimed, will
take an extra minute or two. Tn any
event the Senate, in joint session with
the House and presided over by the
Senate's presiding officer, took 80 min
utes to elect William Mckinley Presi-
dent and Carrot A Hobart Vice Presi-
dent; also 50 minutes to elect Roosevelt
and Fairbanks.

NO oFFENsE INTENDED.

We are pleased to acknowledge the
receipt of communication from n
friend Of the News in which the
writer intimates that an editorial
which appeared in this paper on We'd
resday has been construed to mean
that We consider the late state Sem
ate. or certain members OF that body,
as solely responsible for the dissen-
sion that seems to exist among prom
inent local. Republican politicians.
IT seems almost superiluous to say
that there is. as far ns we can see,
nothing in the article Itself that jusu-
fcs that construction. we did not
intend to discuss the question of re-
spcnsihility. We did not raise that
point Mt all. We merely stated a
few facts proving that the discord.
whoever is responsible for 1t, is not
of entirely recent origin. We took
the liberty of expressing the opinion
that this is not the time for the air.
ing Of personal grievances, but for
united and harmonious corporation
between all good citizens, in the pres
ence Of common foe. The facts stat
ed have not been disputed, and we
see 10 reason why we should change
the opinion expressed.
Our correspondent states that SEN
ate members We're not responsible for
the Richfield episode, and he points
out that the Senate members only did
their duty, according to the best light
they had, in the matter OF acting up
IN appc intments by the Governor, and
this we do not dispute. We merely
insist that past grievances ought to be
forgotten and that the welfare of the
public should he considered in pref
erence to personal interests. All are
pretty we'll agreed on this. As our
correspondent puts it, one side. though
they have been called Insurgents,
maintain that they have no motive in
view other than the unifylng of their
party those on the other side insist
that they are equally earnest in their
efforts for harmony. Then, there can
be nc serious obstacle 10 united effort.
We repeat:
when good citizens are held up by
pirates. they have no time to air per-
sonal grievances. And that is very
nearly the case. The City treasury
has been emptied by a crowd that is
reaching out for the financial re-
sources Of tho County ana State. The
control of Utah is coveted by gang

In sin and shame The lime is one
in Which the best thought and energy

should be given 10 tho public welfare

ANTITRUST PROPOSALS.

| AS result of a long series OF de-
cisions by the Supreme Court, 1t follows
that much of the business included
under the heading Of interstate conf
merce is conducted contrary to law.
Proposed amendments to the Sher-
! man antitrust law have been framed
| by the National civic federation. The
| Hepburn bill embodying these amend
ments was recently introduced into the
House of Representatives, Seth Low
| of New York. one of our foremost
political scientists, and Samuel Gom>
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, both favor the remedial
| features of this measure, Mr. Gompers
| alone objecting to the clause relating
| to the registration OF labor organiza-
| tons.
Mr.. Low, however. contends that the
| benefits and immunities offered by the
bill are conditioned upon registration,
| but registration is optional. Common
carriers are to register with the Inter-
state Commerce commission; all others,
with the bureau of corporations. The
bill affects only those who choose to
register.
Registration can be denied to no one
who gives the information called for by
the bill; and no one can be deprived
OF registry arbitrarily, nor for cause
without appeal to the courts.
All corporations and associations af-
fected by the bill are divided into two
classes (a) those for profit and having
capital stock and % those not for pro-
At and not having capital stock. The
first class must give such information
as may be called for by general regu.
lations to be prepared by the president
as to their organization, their finances.
their contracts and their corporate pro-
ceedngs. The second class must file
their constitutions and bylaws. the adj
dress OF their head office, and the
names and addresses OF their officers
aud standing committees; but this dis
tinctiou Is not arbitrary.

benefits win be derived from regstra-
ton under this bill:
