The Political Mix-up.

According to the twelfth amend.
ment of the constitution, if none of
the candidates now running re-
ceives a majority of the votes in
the electoral college, the election of
President will pass, when Congress
counts the ballots on the second
Wednesday of next February, to
to the House of Representatives,
and the house. if ii can. will elect a
president, teach state having one
vote) from the persons, not exceed
ing three, who got most votes for
president in the electoral college
But it will take a majority of all
the states to elect, and two-thirds
of the states must be represented
to make quorum. Then the
amendment proceeds to provide:
And if the House of Representa-
tives shall not choose a president.
whenever the right of choice shall
devolve upon them, before the
fourth day of March next follow
ing. then the Vice-President shall
act as President, as in the case of
the death or other constitutional
disability of the President. The
person having the greatest number
of votes as Vice-President, shall be
the Vice-President, if such number
be majority of the whole number
of electors appointed, and if no
person have a majority, then from
the two highest numbers on the list
the senate shall choose the vice
president; a quorum for the pur-
pose shall consist of two-thirds of
the whole number of senators, and
a majority of the whole number
shall be necessary to choice.
So if the electors fail to elect any
one. the house is to elect a Presid.
ent if it can. and the Senate a Vice
President. But the senate is reck-
ored to have 80 Republicans, A
Democrats and 2 vacancies, so vot.
ing on two candidates as prescrib-
ed, it would naturally select the Re-
publican. Mr.. Sherman. who, if the
House failed to elect a President,
would serve as president for four
years.
Now it is reckoned that the pres
ent house, on whom the duty of
electing a President may devolve.
stands 90 for Wilson, % for Taft or
Roosevelt, and four states evenly
divided. 1t may easily fail, there
fore, to elect President. And
Colonel Harvey argues that the.
Senate may fail to elect Vice
President, for tho it has 80 Repub-
Leans, "A Democrats and two va
cancies. its Republicans hold the
group of Progressives who would
not be likely to vote for Mr.. Sher.
man, and by abstaining from voting
could cause failure to obtain a ma
jority for any one. And if the
candidates should be Johnson and
Marshall, instead of Sherman and
Marshall, some of the regular Re-
publicans could, and probably would
secure a like result by declining to
vote. In that case Mr.. Knox
would be temporary president, and
would have to convene Congress to
order a new election. and we would
have another presidential scrim-
mage next year.

Linen Shower,

One of the prettiest events of the sea-
son was the linen shower given by Mrs.
]. R. Laird on last Saturday afternoon
to Miss Trula Kiser, in honor of her
marriage to Mr.. Roy S. Thompson, of
Bluefeld, which happy event takes place
today.
The lower rooms of the Laird home
were thrown together, and decorated in
asparagus, fern, pink asters, dahlies,
cupids and hearts. The dining room
was unusually attractive in pink roses
and ferns with streamers suspended
from the chandelier to the table. A bell
with clapper of rice formed part of
the dining room decorations. Each
guest wrote a receipt in a book, which
was presented to the bride. A toast,
especially prepared for the occasion,
was given by Mrs. H. Claude Pohst.
Miss Ella Bowen gracefully responded,
after which the brides health was
drank.
Little Mary and Frances, the twin
daughters of Mrs. Laird, as cupids,
presented Miss Kiser with a pink ex-
press wagon, filled with dainty pieces
of linen, a household article dear to
every brides heart. A delicious salad
course was served, followed by an ice
course.
Among the guests were Mesdames w.
T. Witten, A. M. Black, L. A. Tynes,

A Frustrated EIOpement.

Miss Oxlie Perdue, of East Radford,
and VIM. c. Sorgee, carnival follower
of the fairs, giving his home as Upton,
S. c., eloped from the former place on
last Saturday evening and arrived here
Sunday on the 8 p. m. train. They had
scarcely registered at the local hotel
before Sergeant Thompson took the
young lady into custody at the request
of her father, who wired from Radford
to arrest her.
Mr.. Perdue, the father, who keeps a
hotel in East Radford, reached here on
Monday but found his daughter obdu-
rate. He attempted, however, to take
her home, but on reaching Bluefeld,
where Sorgee had been arrested aud
confined to Jail, Miss Perdue created
such scene that her father finally
granted permission for the couple to
have an interview at the Jail, after
which he also consented to the couple
marrying. This was done Tuesday, and
the hope-to-be-happy pair accompanied
Mr.. Perdue to his homo in East Radford
for a shoft stay before resuming the
round of the fairs.

Mann And The Machine.

The following letter from DR.. B. B.
Bagby appeared in the Richmond Vir-
ginian of last Sunday. 1t is so peril
nent to other comments concerning the
Governor action IN the same matter
that appears in this issue. that we pre-
sent it to our readers. DR.. Bagby says:
Editor The VirRinian:-
The letter of Governor Mann and
Judge Asa Watkins prove conclusiveIy
that Judge Mann has violated his oath
of Office and defied the constitution of
Virginia in failing for two months to
appoint the trustees of the State Fe-
male Normal School, simply because an
official of the institute expected to vote
against the machine. 1t Is remarkable
to what extent the machine leaders will
go to punish any one who votes against
them, and 1 am surprised that you in
your editorial will uphold them In their
