JUST SUPPOSE NO
ELECTION OCCURS
SUCH A THING is POSSIBLE -
HOW THE MATTER WOULD BE
STRAlGHTENED OUT.

Washington, Nov. 4.-There is no.
thing more unique in political history
than the situation brought about by
the death of the vice presidential can
didate of the republican party and
the determination of Charles ID. Hilles
to refrain fromlfilli ing theVacancy on
the ticket until after election day. E.
The voters are asked to vote for a
blank space for the office of vice
president and then to permit the re-
publican national committee to fill
in the space after election day.
In the present situation there is
a theoretical possibility that the re-
publican national committee-that
discredited gang consisting OF Pen
rose, Guggenheim, Angel Archie, Ste
venson, Crane and the rest-might be
given the power to name the next
president of the United States.
Possible Way.
This is the way it might work out:
Suppose there should be no election.
Then suppose-an unlikely supposi-
tion, but still a possible one--ihat
Taft should run second to eth r
Roosevelt or Wilson and that he and
the leading candidate each lacked the
required majority of 266 in the elec-
toral college.
The election of president would
be thrown into the house of repre-
sentatyes and the choice of a vice
president into the senate, The house
b. ing deadlocked and failing to act,
the man chosen by the senate as vice
president would become the president.
The regular republican electors in
the electoral college would have cast
their votes for the candidate for vice
president named by the republican
national committee. But the national !

Kind of Majority.

Now the majority of the senate is
not partisan majority, but is a spe-
cial privilege bipartisan majority,
made up of republicans and democrats
so the man who would be named by
the joint operation of the republi-
can national committee and the Uni
ted States senate would be a servant
of special privilege who would COM
mand the votes of reactiomary repub-
licans and reactionary democrats.
Thus might the Penrose-C -Crane-Gug-
genheim cabal name the next presi-
denta
The presidential electoral situa-
tion now stands as follows, this being
the exact procedure:
The presidential electors chosen
Nov. in Oklahoma and every other
state meet In their respective states
and ballot for president and vice pres
ident.
The electors vote as individuals and
are legally free to vote for anybody
they like but each states set of cleo
tors is almost invariably Of the same
party, and precedent demands that
they all vote for the candidates of the
party that elected them. So the vote
of Oklahoma's college will be cast as
a unit for the candidates endorsed
by the state of Nov. 5.
Electors Duty.
The electoral college, after ballot
ing, makes out three certificates of
the result, attaching to each the gov
ernor's certificate and mails one copy
to the president of the U. S. senate
sends another copy to him by special
and gives the third to the
Judge of the U. S. district court in
whose district it meets.
The ballots thus sent by all thf
states will be opened on Feb. II by
the president of the L. S. senate, in
the house of representatives at Wash
ington, in the presence of the senate
and the house. members of each body |

GIRLS FARM CLUB
CANNING WORK
OF AGRICULTURE
PLEASED WITH SUCCESS OF VEN-
TURE-EXTENT OF WORK.
(By V. Merkle y

Washington, d. c., Nov. 4,-Girls
have more sense than boys.
That is one of the reasons that the
department of agriculture advances
for the success of the girls farm club
that is just finishing its second year
of crop growing.
About two years ago the late DR..
S. A. Knapp of the department of ag-
riculture conceived the idea of organ
izing girls tomato clubs in the south
ern states, something on the order OF
the boys corn clubs which have been
run in previous years. s..
Unfortunately DR.. Knapp died be-
fore the work was ready for public
demonstration, but the idea took hold
among the farm girls of the southern
states and the results obtained this
year are considered by the depart
ment of agriculture officials as re-
markable.
The work started out with the idea
of having girls raise tomatoes and
possibly can a few of them. 1t has
developed, however into the girls
going in for tomatoes, poultry and
eggs, and canning not only tomatoes
but all sorts of fruit and vegetables,
so that in the state of Oklahoma alone
the girls this year have canned nine
ty varieties of fruit AMI vegetables,
the famous pickle factory look
like a back number.
There are about $4,000 girls now
in the southern states, and
work could be greatly extended if
more money We're available for in
struction. 1t is estimated by busi-
ness men and the department that the
girls club work has been worth just
about S1,000,000 to the state OF Okla
loma this year. The basis on which
he estimate is made is the fact that
Early in the previous season one of the !
'arm demonstrators tried to find in
he city of Oklahoma some Of the sort |
Of cans that the department is using
'or the girls club work. He found
them in only one store and that was
a lot that had been shipped in by
mistake. During the past season 1S,-
900, 900 of these cans We're shipped
into the state, and in Oklahoma City
+ 100000 We're sold.
One girl who was a member of the
club in Oklahoma made net
profit of s1O1 off 1-1Oth of an acre.
but her showing is very good indl-
cation of what the girls can do in
business line when they get started.
The canning works have been an
object lesson to many of the grown
people in the states where they have
been in operation. One man near
Oklahoma City had a large orchard
off which he could not sell the fruit
at a profit and he was about to aban-
don the whole enterprise when he
casually attended one OF the girls
demonstrations He was so
that he invested about $3.50
in the biggest home canning outfit
he could get and canned all the fruit
on his place. He cleaned up nearly
Sc 900 on the seasons work and de-
cided to retain the orchard.
Many of the girls have gone in for
raising as we'll as for can
ming. and all of them who have done
so have made a good showing finan-
rially with eggs and chickens. They
have saved waste on theri home pla-
res because they have canned every

DERBY, CT. WOMAN SAVED BROTHER BY
 CLINGING TO HIM Mrs. Paul Schubert Refused to Be Parted With Broth CT Philip and Both Were Pushed Into Libeboat. Talked With Mrs. Strauss, Who Refused to Be Part ed From Husband = So Aged Couple Go Beneath Waters, Clasped in Each Others Arms.

New York, April 19.-Among the first passengers off the Carpathia was Mrs. Paul Schubert of Derby, Conn. She said that she had stateroom on the port side and had sailed with her brother Phillip. Mrs. Schubert said that her brother was saved because she refused to leave him.
 "It was a terrible experience" Mrs. Schubert added. "I was awakened by the shock of the collision and went out on deck. There was very little excitement and persons were coming from their rooms and asking what had happened. Suddenly from the bridge came the cry Ladies first. This was the first inkling we had that the ship was in danger. I went back then as returned to the deck heard the horrifying order that women must leave their husbands and brothers. I refused to leave my brother and fln- ally he was showed into the. boat with me.
 Mrs. Isador Straus, who had a stateroom near me, and with whom I have frequently talked, declared that under no circumstances would she leave MT. Straus. As we pushed away from the Titanic the ship started to go down and as she disappeared be- meath the water MT. and Mrs. Straus were standing arm in arm."

J. P. Morgan Had Suite on Titanic, But His Good Luck Prevented Him from Sailing

New York, April 19-J. P. Morgan's luck still held in the case of the Ti- tanic, for he had thought earlier in the year that he would return to America on the ill-fated vessel Henry Clay Prick in February had engaged a suite on the Titanic, but Mrs. Prick sprained her ankle when the Adriatic stopped at Maderia She went to a hospital in Naples, and Morgan took over MT.

 Then Morgan decided to lengthen his stay abroad and passed the reser- vation over to J. Horace Harding, of the banking house of c. D. Barney & Co. MT. Harding was obliged to take an earlier boat and sailed on the Mauretania last Saturday. He is due in New York today.

Washington, April 19-While a wit ness before the Senate committee on inter oceanic canals, Edward G.

He admitted that 1t owned about 50 per cent of the stock but that, he said, was only in order to secure through routes between points in New England and the south.

 That was the first word that was spoken aloud there at the end of the gangplank from the time the Carpa- | thia ceased motion. In some way the wOrdE of the young interne seemed to | cledr the air. A babble of questions. answers, cries, sobs and calls arose at once. A woman, whose feelings | had been pent within her bosom since the dreadful launching of the little | lifeboat just after midnight, Monday. 1 shrieked wildly and went into hys- | terics A little chubby baby boy, carried off the boat by nurse, vail ed loudly. Tears came to those who l had been fearless and. saved them, perhaps, from madness. The furrows | in their faces showed that they could not much longer have endured the tension.
 Four little children were carried off the boat on stretchers. A man was carried out in a basket made with two mems arms and he was smoking a pipe and talking from the corner of his mouth, cheerily, to two women who sought news of his condition. After an hour and a half the stream of survivors ceased.
 Mrs. John Jacob Astor, despit the rumorS that she was in a critical con-
 dition, gave the members of her fam
 fly joyful surprise when she walk

 ed her father she said:
 '1 hope he is alive somewhere. I
 cannot think of anything else but I
 am sure that he will be saved" She said that the ColonePs last words to her were:
 1T will meet you in New York, dear.''
 Mrs. Astor was hurried in an au- tomobile to her home where state
 ment was issued later by the family
 physician that she was in as good health as could be expected under the circumstances.
 It was long before the upper pier was closed. Anxious questioners pressed around the survivors pouring queries faster than tongue could an- swer.
 J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the company which owned the Ti- tanic, who came safe to land, was
 most talked of, perhaps, of all unless it was Colonel Astor. Some cursed l Ismay, among the survivors. Others, was not full as the women re- fused to come because they did not l think the ship would sink. | The story of brave Mrs. Isidor Straus, who spurned proffered safety to stay with her husband, when she
 knew that death was near, caused a great group of men and women to burst into tears. It was simply told by the woman who was speaking

 At last the crowd was gone. The dock was deserted. The Carpathia was asleep. A heavy rain beat upon the pavements outside and in the I rain the 700 survivors of the Titanic scattered to grieve for those who lie dead in the ocean off Newfoundland.

llNIEO OE' APRlL 11.)
 Advances of from 5 to ,71h cents yard in fancy worsteds.
 The advance in prices on mems wear fabrics that has featured trading in the New York woolen and worsted mar ket for the last two weeks con- tinues. Advances ranging from , to # cents a yard were de- clared on several lines of fancy Worsteds yesterday, and accord ing to prominent selling agent, further advances are coming.
 The reason of the advance is said to be the increased cost of production due to higher wages and the present high cost of raw wool, yarns and fuel. Buyers are reported to be generally ac- cepting the advances without much comment, and although a few are trying to force orders on agents at the old prices, the ma- jOrity seem to realize the jus tification of the advance.
 Higher prices were also nam ed on heavyweight woolens and cheviots, the advances ranging from 2h to 5 cents yard.
 The distribution of mems . wear goods this season has been wider than usual, and the fact that duplicate orders have been received so soon after the close of the initial buying, leads to the belief that there is 3, great deal of business yet to come.
 The demand for light weight staple and fancy worsteds for spot delivery continues, but as available stocks in the hands of of dealers are very light, buyers are having difficulty in secur- ing prompt shipments. It is said that stocks of desirable goods have not been so low for years. sJs

opportunity ito accomplish a veritable
mission Of culture" is being held in
New York this week. The object is to
seek to populariZe in America the cell
ebrated German game of Slat. at the
same time sidetracking the equally fla
nous game of poker. which does not
bring into play the same intellectual
qualities as the German game. Two
thousand players will sit in the games
at the convention. The occasion will
be the tiftieth convention Of the Nor

The game Of skat," says Herman
Ridder. is decidedly one of the noblest,
IL not the noblest. game Of cards in the
world. 1t is adapted to sharpen the wit
and develop the intellect. 1t is Just the
reverse Of those other games, which
have a ~deadening effect Oh the intel
lectual faculties. Skat cannot be
claSSed among the games Of chance. as
q good player is able to utilize even a
bad run of cards in such II way that he
does not lose anything, 1t therefore
bids fair to become a substitute for
poker"
