What Parker Would Favor.

Mr. Parker said he had always be. n
in favor of the proposition that the House
should begin in December. the Senate in
that involved SO much Of change, 1t
was impossible to carry II.
Therefore" he said, I'VE have to stand
4th Of March. which is a bad day. to
the last Thursday IN April. which is a
good day.
1--WE have made a third provision.
When this article is to be amended 1t IL
beyond all question that 1t shall provide
for the omitted cases In which there
may he no President or Vice President.
The cases are more numerous and dan
gerous than Is generally supposed.
Judge Story and all constitutional law
yers doubt whether, II the President-elect
died before his Inauguration, the Vice
President would succeed. because they
say he As only the President-elect at that
time. l have no such doubt, but others
have. Again. If no person should receive
a ma jority for. President it is likely. un-
der our present system of election. that
there would be no majority vote cast for
Vice President in the electoral college.
There is no power granted by the Con-
stitutfon for Congress to provide by law
who shall act as President in case Of the
death of both the President-elect. and the
Vice President-elect. 1t is case that
may come near us. whether by assaSsina-
ton Or otherwise.
Mr.. Parker wound UP his explanation
of the proposed amendment by suggest
ing that il was by 10 means impossible
that instead of two parties there should
be three or four in this country. so that
at an election nobody would have a ma
| joTity either for President or Vice Presi-
dent.
Under these circumstances" he said,

Sims Opposes Resolution.
Representative Sims Of Tennessee also
actively opposed the proposition.
IF were a permanent citizen Of the
city Of Washington" said Mr.. Sims. Il
; would be in favor Of this change. I 90
not blame them for being In favor Of it.
"They have got to have it every four
years for the balance OF time. and 1t
is a great benefit TO them. 1t brings
thousands of people here to spend their
money.
.'They get public spaces voted to. them
here by Congress without any compensa-
ton They get the pension Office turned
over to them for an inaugural ball.
If we go to the extent Of dignifying
amending the Constitution to make it
prosperous how much longer will it be
until they will want an appropriation Of
naif q million dollars to have a fair
worth looking at and continue it for two
weeks?
"Why change the Constitution OF the
United States and have three-fourths of
all Of the states solemnly enact an APP
prevail of an amendment to the Constitu-
ton in order to have a few hours OF
street fair in Washington? Why not have
1t two weeks, why not invite the crowned
heads OF all the world here, and why
not have a show worth seeing?
"Why not appropriate half million

sentative Mann OF Illinois amid laughter
Make 1t just as big as we want to. F"
returned Mr.. Sims, "as We do not have
to pay it anyway.
Ridiculous, Says Sims.
Now the idea of amending the organic
law of the land simply to have a street
parade which Is no part Of the inaugura-
ton is ridiculous. There is not gov
ernor in the United States that / know
of who is not inausurated In the dead of

To Assure Good Weather.

This amendment" he said, will as
sure good weather for the great public
function Of inauguration Of the Presi-
dent and Vice President. That is not 20
important as getting more time for the
session, but it is Of Importance.
In the gathering of the nation at the
Capital to welcome the President there
is national oath Of allegiance. 1t
brings the man home to the masses as
their friend. 1t stimulates a useful rival
ry i'm the state troops that take part in
the parade and recognizes the great
ness of the day which gives new Presi-
dent to the greatest people on earth.
1T makes the whole land feel that the
President is its executive In time OF peace
and it's commander n-chief in time of
war. And when he takes the oath OF Of

witness it take an unspoken oath Of al
legiance to that Constitution.
again. 1t has been urged that every
new Congress should get to work inn
mediately after the election. in order to
give immediate effect to the will of the
people. 1t may we'll be replied that one
of the best Of our constitutional checks
and balances consists in the fact that
time is allowed after election for thought
and consideration, and that we are free
from the dangers attending Legislature
elected for special purposes. such as now
appear in England.
1T may perhaps be said that the new
Congress- and not the old one, should
determine which of several persons re-
ceiying IA plurality vote should become
President But if there is no majority
of the electors there is no majority in
the new Congress. and certainty is
preferable to uncertainty
Further. as to this suggestion. the
people would not favor any proposition
that an alteration should be in the depth
Of winter. Nor would it be right for
us to imperil the health Of an executive

Cooper Suggests Oversight.

Representative Cooper of Wisconsin
suggested that one point in the PROPOSE
ton had been overlooked.
Suppose" he said. "a man runs for
Congress in November and his record
may have been had. He may have shown
corruption, lack of capacity and many
traits OF character and political DISPOSE
ton which make him dis II, ID! by his

pudiation."
He would not go out anyway. inter
jected Gen. keifer of Ohio, until the

Yes" returned Mr. Cooper. But this
adds two months to 1t"
Mr. Parker remarked that as he had
only twenty minutes he did not have
time to discuss this feature, but would
continue his explanation OF the amend
ment.

SHARP CRITICISM OF SCHEME

! The Henry resolution, to change the
date of the inauguration Of future Presi-
dents of the United States from March
to the last Thursday in April, failed
Of passage in the House of Representa-
tives by one-third Of vote.
Yesterday was suspension day, when,
under the rules and legislation re-
uuires ,wO-thirds vote for passage.
AS 1879 members voted for pnd ~
against the Henry resolution, IL was
defeated by a fraction.
Mr. Henry and other advocates OF the
proposition are not discouraged. the
resolution is now on the regular caIen-
dar subject to call by the judiciary
committee i'll it's own time on calendar
Wednesday, Consequently the resolu-
ton will he reached in about two
weeks. as it is figured that the jul
dietary committee will have the call
by that time.
Parker Explains Resolution.
When Representative Richard Wayne
Parker of New Jersey-chairman OF the
judiciary committee. called up the resolu-
tion under suspension OF the rules yes
terday. as a result of previous arrange
ment with Speaker Cannon, he announced
that he would speak but briefly concern
ing it. as the constitutional amendment
had already been thoroughly debated III
tho House.
This amendment is now in such forin'
after careful consideration by the COM
mittee," said Mr.. Parker that there is
no doubt whatever about its meaning. l
have submitted 1t to great many men,
bers Of thel House and there Is no ques-
ton as to form. 1t provides distinctly
three things.
"The first is that. on the LIST day OF
January. 1913. if this measure has been
heretofore ratified. or. otherwise. on ratl-
lication Of this amendment, the then eX-
listing Congress and the terms of the
President, Vice President and members
of Congress shall be extended until the
last Thursday in April following the 4th
day of March on which they would other
wise respectively terminate, and every
subsequent Congress and the term OF any
congressman, the President and Vice
President shall begin and end OF the last
Thursday of April instead OF the 4th day
of March.
There is no doubt about the meaning.
It will not take effect until after the ter
mination Of the present Congress, but
thereafter this change shall take place.
We must get rid of the intOlerable condi-
ton of having only from December to
March in the short session.

About two weeks ago Mrs. F'entou saw
Attorney Darlington and told him she
wanted to get a divorce from her hus-
band. The following Sunday the lawyer
met the couple coming from g. cafe. and
they assured him that their domestic re-
lations were happy once more and that
the divorce idea had been abandoned.

Had Been Arrested.

Some time ago the police received a
message from Canada that Frank Fen
ton was wanted for alleged robbery. It
was charged that he got money from
a man at the Hamilton race track under
dishonest circumstances. Fenton was ar
rested. Attorney Campbell Darlington
had him released on a writ OF habeas
corpus. and later the Canada authorities
said they would not go to the expense
of extraditing him. Last week the Balti-
more authorities requested Maj Sylvester
to arrest him. saying he was wanted
there to answer a charge Of having
passed 4 worthless check.

Anyhow Clerk OF Courts Knowlton
finds some consolation in the fact that
Of all the candidates on the republi-
can ticket he received the largest
number OF votes, having $3.50 against
his opponents 1885, a plurality
against him OF 6is, while the plurality
against the head OF the ticket In the
county was SIS. Mr.. knowlton re-
ceived the largest vote on the ticket
in the election Of 1905, and also in the
election OF 1902. He was elected for
the 6rst time in 1880, although he
served out the unexpired term Of
Hon. h. B. Saunders, who resigned to
become United States marshal. Thus
for more than twenty years Mr..
Knowlton has served this county as
it's clerk, and a more capable, sfii-
cient, accurate, affable gentleman
never held public Office.

The political upheaval of last week
continues to be the topic OF talk and
editorial comment; the occasion for
some wise and for some very foolish
remarks as to it's cause; and for specu-
lation as to what is going to happen
during the next two years. Gov
elect Plaisted promises to redeem the
pledges OF the party platform on
which he was elected 30 far as in him
lies, and more cannot reasonably be
expected. A gratifying feature of the
situation is that the attitude OF both
victors and vanquished towards the
result shows the spirit OF true democ-
racy and Of loyalty to our good old

Ellsworth's Representative Vote.

Ellsworth's Representative Vote.
The outcome of the Ellsworth vote for
representative is still uncertain. The re-
turns as made to the governor and council
show tie vote between John A. Peters,
republican, and Harvard c. Jordan, demo-
crat, with one vote for 81. A. Peters,.
There was an inspection Of the ballots at
the city clerks Office last Friday night, at
which both candidates were present; also
D. E. Hurley, who represented Mr.. Jordan
as counsel. Counting all doubtful ballots
that is, doubtful as to whether they were
defective or understanding to the intent
OF the voter, it seemed that there were ASH
for Mr.. Peters aud 443 for Mr.. Jordan.
This would give Mr.. Peters plurality Of
eight.
But Mr.. Hurley claims that at least nine
ballots are defective. 1t is probable that
the governor and council will issue a
certificate of election to Mr.. Peters.
Whether or not Mr.. Jordan will then
contest the election is not yet decided.
