Washington, JAN 4.-Commander

of icebergs and the one man among
men whom the world is now inclined
to believe immune against the bit
ing blasts of clustering winter winds,
has had his ears frost-bitten.
Sans ay romantic setting of arc
tic splendor, growing polar bears, or
chattering Eskimo guides, the latest
Peary expedition may be chronicled
somewhat along this line:
The discoverer laid aside the furs
and frizzles of arctic exploration, and,
attired in immaculate evening dress

ern Roosevelt H., an automobile
which was to bear his wife, his sis

of a friend in Drummond, Md, not
far distant from Washington, where
they were to sup.
At just five bells by the good ship

and, gathering up sister-in-law from
her rocking chair anchor by the par

the icy front steps and into the cabin

Choir and unfurled his motor sail

The coveted pole was but seven
miles distant, and the exploring party
could already see Old Glory planted
at its pinnacle and the good supper
flying to the four winds.
Ever and anon big cakes of ice
floated by the speeding craft and sew

party thought they saw land as they

Several times the Roosevelt's pilot

Up to that time the passengers had

Just as they left the city limits,
however, the snow and ice became

After vain attempts to extricate
the ship from the snow the great ex-

HOW SENATORS ARE CHOSEN
illumination of Much Discussed sub
iect-stockton Case Recalled.

illumination OIL Mucn Discussed sub
ct-stockton Case Recalled.
Interest in the senatorial fight In
this state has led to queries regarding
the manner in which senator shall
be elected by the legislature. 1t has
been said that the successful man will
need forty-one votes to be chosen.
This is subject to qualification. 1t is
based on the superstition that all the
eighty-one members Of both the SEN
ate and the assembly are present In
joint session.
AS matter OF law, senator may
be selected In joint session by ma
jority of the joint membership If a
majority Of each house be present
when the vote Is taken. Thus, II In a
joint session, thirty-one Of the sixty
members OF the assembly and eleven
|of the twenty-one members Of the SEN
ate should meet a person who would
receive twenty-five votes out of the
forty-two would be legally elected.
The identical question was brought up
in 1907 when Frank O. Briggs was
elected.
The method of election is laid down
In federal statute passed July IS,
1865. Curiously enough this act was
passed following complications that
resulted over the naming Of New
Jersey man to the United States SEN
ate, John Potter Stockton.
Mr.. Stockton was chosen, not by a
majority OF the Legislators In joint
session, but by plurality vote, fol-
the term beginning March 4, 1855
His election was protesed, and the
contest was referred to the senate ju.
dietary committee, Although that was
controlled by Republicans, while
Stockton was a Democrat. all the
committeeman, except one, reported
that he should be seated. The senate
concurred in the report By q vote Of
twenty-five to twenty-one. Mr.. Stock
ton was one OF the twenty-five.
Objection was made by Senator
Charles Summer to Mr.. Stockton's
vote upon report aff ecting himself
and Mr.. Stockton was retired from
the senate. Alexander G.. Cattell was
chosen in his place. Mr.. Stockton
was subsequently elected to the senate
without question for the term begin,
ming March 4. 1863.
After the Stockton row, congress
took up the matter Of removing doubt
regarding the election Of senators and
providing for a uniformpsystem in al
states. The national legislature passed
the act under the clAnse ia the fedora
constitution which authorizes con
gress to regulate the election Of sena
tors and representatives. Except as
to the places OF choosing senators. .
The statute specified that on the
Tuesday following organization each
house of a legislature shall vote, viva
voce, for a senator. The following
day the houses are to meet jointly
If the records show that the sam,
man has received majority 10 eacf
house. he shall be declared elected.
| If the same man does not have th'
required majority, the legislature, II
joint meeting, is required to take a
| least One viva voce vote each day dur
ing the session until, at session II
which there is present majority 0
each house, majority shall be cas-
for some man.
