until next Wednesday. Instead Of
voting direct for the president and
ice president We vote for electors
IN the different states'for these officers
In many OF the states the name of
the candidate or your choice for
president not even appearing on the
lalIot. These electors are nom:-
mated by the respective political
parties at their state conventions and
are voted for by the people at the
election. The electors receiving the
highest vote. cast the entire vote of
III, state for the party they repre-
sent. Each state is entitled to as
many electors as It has senator's and
representatives. in congress
On the second Monday in January
following the presidential election,
the electors who have secured the
highest vote of the respective states,
meet in the capital of the state
from which they have been chosen
snd cast the vote of the state for
their choice for president, which SO
FAR has always been the candidate
nominated by the party which they
represent, by the national convention
the preceding year. This they are
only bound to do through party
pledges and honor.
When the vote of the electors is
cast In the state, which is at the
state capitol. three copies Of their
ballot is made, one being sent by
mail to the president OF the United
States senate, another sent by spec
ial messenger chosen from among
the electors of their respective states |
and the third one is deposited with |
the United States District Judge of |
the district where they meet to cast |
their ballot On the second Wed
nesday in February the United
States senate and house ofrepresent-
atives meet in joint session and open
the votes cast by the electors of the
different states and count them while
in joint session in presence of all
members. The candidate receiving
the majority of electoral votes is
then officially declared elected to the
Office of president of the United
States. Should no one receive a
majority vote the election would then
go to the house of representatives and
each state would be allowed one vote
snly, no matter how large a repre-
ssntztion il might have in the house.

An event which will draw thousands
interested in new fall fashions, in cos
tunes, millinery, waists, ribbons,
gloves, corsets and gloriously captivat-
ing garnitures, is the fall opening at
the Bee Hive: and just as we go to
press Messrs. L. S. Plaut & Co., re-
ceived the following telegram from
Elizabeth. A. G. White. President of
the Dressmakers Protective Associa-
tion of America and a worlds author
ity on styles, saying "Most import
ant style changes for fall and winter.
Restoration of normal waist line.
Short skirts except for most ceremon-
ious functions have captured Paris. "

of the costumes and millinery which
will captivate all who see it. Richly

its appeal TO the patriotism with it's

blue cloth lined red. The millinery
no mere scribe of the press can de-
scribe. The women will rave over
them-some fifty model hats will with
out doubt send the visitors into costa
cies. 1t will be an exhibition worthy
of your inspection and it were as flu
tile to attempt to paint the lily or
tint the azure sky as to endeavor to
adequately describe here the glories of

festival of fashions.

THE most important real estate de-
velopment in the history of the town
and which should add from aquarter
to half million dollars to the town
ratables is now going on up Speedwell
avenue. An attractive access to that
section will materially increase the
value of property. Yet we are told
that if the Democrats come into pow
er the new sidewalk and curb at the
entrance to that thoroughfare will be
torn up and put back in it's old posi-
ton, and it is fair to presume that the
work for improved streets and side
walks will be abandoned and we will
go back to the old plan of every man
for himself and the public be hanged.

THE Banner" gives credence to
the rumor current about town that
the Democratic campaign in Morris
town this fall is to be against public
improvement on the score of economy,
the schibboleth to be Down with
Cole" 1t starts of with peevish
criticism of the before and after pic
lures of the work at the municipal
building because it shows some stones,
overlookingthe point that the straight
ening of the curb line is the object in
view. This is but the beginning of
the faultfinding by which it is hoped
to turn the town over to the Demo
Gratis. The folly of this plan of cam
paign is shown by the light of history
of the past. The voters of the town
never have nor ever will be deluded by
any cheese pairing policy in town af-
fairs. They wish the town improved
ana are willing to pay for it.

PRESIDENT TAFT started on Tues
day on his first long tour of the coun-
try since his election. Before his re-
turn to Washington, on November 10,
he will have travelled nearly thirteen
thousand miles and visited twenty
two states. His trip will enable him
TO ascertain for himself the views OF
his great constituency, the American
people. 1t will afford an opportunity
to Judge at first hand of the correct
ness of the views which Senators and
Representative sought to impress
upon him during the recent tariff SEES
sion. 1t will bring him into touch
with the great West, with it's multi
plicity Of problems, including the sew
eral phases of the movement to con-
serve the nations natural resources
and the statehood sentiment in Arl-
iona and New Mexico. The President
starts on his long journey in an optlm-
istic mood. At farewell meeting in
Boston he made an address, the prin-
cipal features of which were his dec
laration that the country is entering
a period OF great prosperity and bust
ness expansion, his discussion OF the
proposition to establish a central
bank, his praise of Senator Aldrich,
chairman of the Monetary Commits
sion, and his denunciation of any at
tempt to foment sectional strife, such
as that which he attributed to Cover
nor Johnson, of Minnesota, in "call-
ing on the West to organize against
the East"

Morris Academy reopened Wednes-
day for the fall term with bright pros
poets for another successful and pros
porous year.
All the instructors who have been
connected with the institution for the
past few years have returned, a circum-
stance which will be strong factor in
the school work of the present year.
They are men who have been able to
adopt themselves to the conditions of
school work with an unusual degree Of
success and have or aroused spirit of
earnestness and desire on the part of
the pupils for work and cooperation
with them the most marked until the
present management and principal
ship.
There is every indication that this
years work at Morris Academy will
be the most efficient the school has
experienced for years.

THE defeat of the Constitutional
Amendments on Tuesday is to be de-
plored for many reasons, chief among
which is the indifference of the people
when interested persons com bined to
prevent their coming into their rights
1t was very discouraging for those who
spent their time and money to inform
the voters in regard to the amend
ments to find that there was SO much
ignorance and prejudice manifested in
regard to the matter.
