In voting the Democratic or Re-

by the government would bring life,
JOY and happiness, to so many soul

would become the President of the
United States.
But notice the complications. Tho
Senate is Republican, and the Re-
publican Senate would naturally
choose the Republican candidate for
Vlce-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 it's own presiding
ofhcer himself candidate, and
make Sunny JIM the President of
the United States.
Or, in case Hiram Johnson, of
California, ran second in the cleo
tons, the Republican Senate might
make Hiram Johnson President of
the United States.
In other words, if Wilson ran t.
100000 votes ahead in the general
elections, and yet lacked two votes,
or even one vote, in the Electoral
College, and the evenly divided
blouse failed to make a choice, the
Senate might make one or the other
OF the minority candidates of
divided or defeated Republican par
ty for Vice-President the Chief
Executive Of the Republic.
If in turn the Senate should by
death or persuasion divide qually
among three Vice-Presidential can
didates (Which is not impossible),
then Philander Knox, of Pennsylva-
MIA, Secretary of State, would be-
come ex-officio President of the Uni
ted 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 thous-
ands on the watch tower who will
find enough in the outlook to keep
them awake to the end of the chap
ter.
Of course, my personal opinion is
that Wilson's majority in the Electo-
raj College will be satisfying and
complete.

sibilities that extend beyond
the ballots of November.
Unless the result on November 5
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 nv
great majority of the popular vote
wand 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 will 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.
There are a 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 48 States has a single vote
a
State delegation determines for
whom that vote is cast. There are
twenty-five State delegations in
which the Republicans have a ma
jority, twenty-five in which Demo
Gratis have majority, and four in
which the Democrats and Republi-
cans are tied. These four tied
States are Maine, with two Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans; Nebras-
ka, with three Democrats and three
Republicans; New Mexico, with one
Democrat and one Republican, 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, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jer-
Sey, New Mexico, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
West Virginia. Total, %.
The States that would cast votes
for Republican President are Cali
fornia, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho,
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Massachu-
sets, Michigan, Minnesota, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylva-
MIA, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont,
Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
Total, %.
Never before in American history
his there been found on the eve Of
a Presidential election a House so
evenly divided between parties as to
make a choice improbable, if not i'm
possible, under the party divisions
that exist.
If Wilson should receive 260 votes
and lack the seven votes necessary
to a majority of the Electoral Col
lege, he would not be elected, and
the Roosevelt-Taft 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.
