The Field Of Possibility
Is Now Wide Open.

In other words if Wilson ran
100000 votes ahead in the general
elections, and yet lacked two votes,
or even one vote, In the electoral
college, and the evenly divided
house failed to make a choice, the
senate might make one or the other
of the minority candidates of a di-
vided or defeated Republican party
for vice president the chief execu-
tive Of the republic.
If in turn the senate should by
death or persuasion divide equally
among three vice presidential can
didates (Which Is not impossible).
then Philander Knox, of Pennsyl-
vania, secretary Of state, would be-
come ex-officio president of the
United States.
So that the field Of possibilities
in this wonderful presidential cam
paign is wide open and fairly thrill
Ing with interest.
The enthusiastic friends Of the
candidates may, of course, laugh
at the speculation, but there are
thousands on the watch tower who
Will find enough in the outlook to
keep them awake to the end Of the
chapter.
OF course. my personal opinion Is
that Wilson's majority in the cleo
toral college will he satisfying and
complete.

TINS vivid and sensational
presidential campaign is
charged with astonishing pos
sibiHtics that extend beyond the
ballots of November.
Unless the result on November
should be absolutely conclusive. the
excitement of American politics will
have just begun.
The Democratic committee ex-
presses the most unbounded conf
dence that Wilson will be elected by
a great majority of the popular vote
and of the electoral college.
The Republican committee ex-
presses an equal confidence in Mr..
Taft's election.
And the Progressive party are en-
Enthusiastically sure that Mr.. Roose-
Welt win be elected.
The impartial observers in the
country agree that Wilson'S chances
are best but that the progress of
the campaign may develop increas-
ing and formidable strength for
Roosevelt or Taft in the electoral
college.

May Throw Election Into
House Of Representatives.

There are great many people
who regard it as distinctly probable
that the strength of the three lead
ing candidates may be so divided in
the electoral college as to throw the
election, under the constitution,
into the house of representatives.
In this connection these are the
facts to consider:
In the election Of a president by
the house Of Representatives. each
OF the As states has a single vote,
and the political majority in the
state delegation determines for
whom that vote is cast. There are
- tate delegations in which the
Republicans have a majority. and
four in which the Democrats and
Republicans are tied These four
tied states are Maine. with two
Democrats and two Republicans:
Nebraska, with three Democrats
and three Republicans; New Mexi-
co, with one Democrat and one Re
publican, and Rhode Island with
one Democrat and one Republican.
The states that would cast votes
for Democrat are Alabama. Ari-
iona, Arkansas. Colorado. Florida.
Georgia. Indiana, Kentucky. Louis
lana, Mississippi, Missouri, New
Jersey New Mexico. New York,
North Carolina, Ohio. Oklahoma.
South Carolina, Tennessee. Texas,
Virginia West Virginia Total, %.
The states that would cast votes
for a Republican president are Cali
folnia, Connecticut Delaware. Ida
no, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas. Massa-
chusetts. Michigan. Minnesota,
Montana, Nevada. New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Oregon, PennsyIva-
mia, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont,
Washington, Wisconsin. Wyoming,
Total. %.
Never before in American history
has there been found on the eve Of
a presidential election a house so
evenly divided between parties as
to make choice improbable, if not
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-29

impossible, under the party divt-
sions that exist.
If Wilson should receive $50 votes
and lack the seven votes necessary
to a majority of the electoral COL
lege, he would not be elected, and
the Roosevelt electoral votes
would be strong enough to throw
the election into the house. Then
the equal party division Of the
states might, and probably would,
make an election of a president
practically impossible by the house.
Whereupon, after ballots extend
ing through the session, the cleo
ton, under the constitution, would
go TO the senate through the neces-
sity of electins a vice president and
presiding officer. The choice would
be restricted to the two candidates
receiving the highest vote for vice
president in the general election. In
this case the vice president or pre-
siding officer of the senate SO elect
ed would become the president Of
the United States
But notice the complications.
The senate Is Republican, and the
Republican senate would naturally
choose the Republican candidate
for vice president, even though he
had been beaten. world without
end in the November ballot. So
that in the not improbable event of
the election going to the senate,
that Republican party might elect
its own presiding officer, himself a
candidate. and make sunny Jim"
the president of the United States.
Or, in case Hiram Johnson. Of
California, ran second in the cleo
tions, the Republican senate might
make Hiram Johnson president Of
the United States
