flfCT PRESIDENT BY P0PUlTR VOTt.

Most Democrats and other per
sons, who believe in a popular form
of government. advocate the cleo
ton of the president and vice pres
ident by the direct vote of the en-
tire country, the candidate receiv=
ing the highest number of votes
being declared elected. The only
reason that can be given for the
adoption of the present eon8titu-
tional plan of having an electoral
college, is that the trainers Of the
constitution had to eoncede some
thing to the followers of Alexander
Hamilton, who were afraid to trust
the people with the reins of govern
ment and who wanted the govern
ment as far removed from the peo-
pie as possible.
Anyway, the plan is cumbrous
and unnecessary. On more than
one occasion it has been the cause
of frustrating the will of the peo-
pie. This was notably so at the
time the Republican leaders stole
the office from Tilden and bestowed
it on Hayes when the infamous
returning board in Louisiana lit
orally committed theft in order to
defeat the will of the majority. 1t
is hardly conceivable that this
great theft could have been perpe-
trated had the election of president
by popular vote obtained at that
time.
1t is difficult to believe that any
reasonable doubt exists of the cleo
ton of Wilson and Marshal Still
three candidates are seriously run
ming for president, and each of
tfese will surely get a large popu-
lar vote and a considerable number
Of electoral votes. This takes no
account of Debs and Chaff1n and
the other small fry, who might, by
some freakish accident, carry a
State.
So it is barely possible that nei-
ther Roosevelt, Taft nor Governor
Wilson will get majority of the
electoral votes. Then under the
constitution the election wo4ld be
thrown into the House of Repre-
sentatives, the members voting b.
States. each State having oneyote.
1t so happens that neither the
Democratic nor Republican party
has a majority of States in Con-
gress. Congress will, in the event
the election is thrown to that body.
cast its vote for president for the
three having the greatest number
of votes. The Senate, however
viii vote for the two candidates fer.
vice president having the greatest
number of votes. In case of a tie
in both house and senate, the law
seems to provide for no further
contingency and a great deal Of
confusion and doubt would follow.
The logical solution for future diff
ficulties is to elect the president
by direct vote Elk.

ALLEN CASE
NEAR The JURY

BY The United Press.
WYTHEVILLE, Va. May 13.-On
the eve of the Floyd Allen case going
TO the jury, commonwealth attorneys
today began planning for the trials of
the four other members of the outlaw
gang. who shot up Judge Massie's
court at Hillsville, nearly two months
ago.
Because Wythe county's finances al
ready have beon greatly depleted by
The Floyd Allen trial, it was the gem
eral belief here today that an agree
ment would be reached between coun-
sci for the prosecution and the de-
tense, to permit consolidation Of some
Of the remaining trials.
The original plan contemplated sep
arate trial for each of the defendants
"a proceeding to which they are en-
titled under the law. II was stated
here on good authority today that
Claude Allen, son Of Floyd Allen
would next he tried alone. and then
that Friel Allen, Sidna Edwards. Bird
Marion and Victor Allen would he
tried together. the defense, IL is said,

Ell PASO, Texas, May 13.-Deteated

during which more than 500 were
killed and wounded on both sides,
General Orozco established rebel
headquarters at Rellano today and
will await the arrival Of reinforce

against the Federals
A general order summoning all rev.

been issued by the rebel leaders Fol-
lowing the victory yesterday, how

rest with their partial advantage, hut
will press Orozco and force him into
battle Immediately. In such case the
overwhelming defeat of the rebels is
predicted.
The fighting on the plains between
Conejos and Yermo yesterday was the
most severe Of the war A courier re-
ported that General Trucy Aubert, the
federal commander was shot in the
leg. The rebels abandoned the field
leaving their dead and wounded be-
hind and also lost ten cannons and
much ammunition in their flight AZ
ter the engagement the field was
strevn with the bodies of the dead
and dying.
