Roosevelt hays he "Took the canal
zone and let congress debate it, and
the debate is still going on, along with
the canal" In other words, the ex-
president believes in the old jesuitical
idea that the end justifies the means.
Inc country cannot afford four more
years of a government based on this
theory.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE
MAY Be DEADL0CKED
With Senate and House I'm
able to Elect, Knox Will
Be President.

WASHINGTON, July 1o.-With
three presidential tickets this fall the
possibility that no one candidate can
get majority vote in the electoral col
lege and possibility of a deadlock in
both house and senate, there is chance
that Philander c. Knox, secretary of
state, may become president OF the
United States under the law of success
sion passed by congress after the as
sassination of Preident Mckinley.
This is capitol gossip founded on the
fact that the house is evenly divided as
TO state political representation and
may deadlock on choice for president,
while the senate may fail to elect
vice president through factional differ
euees. With neither president nor vice
president elected or selected by mid
night. March 3, 1918. the secretary of
state will become president as in the
event of the death of Il serving presi~
dent and vice president,
No Chance for Sunny jim"
"Vice President James s. Sherman
has no chance for the presidency IN the
event of these conditions" said Repre-
sentative Norris, progressive Repub-
lican, today.
"Should the house fail to elect a
president from among the three candl-
dates the senate, under the constitu-
ton, must make its choice from the two
leading vice presidential candidates.
Mr.. Sherman will not be one of these
two, His ticket will be the third ticket
this fall
The Roosevelt ticket has not been
named but it is assumed the colonel g
running mate will be a progressive OF
tho radical stripe. IF Judge Norris s
prophecy is correct, this pogressive and
Governor Norris will contend for the
| senate votes for vice president. The
majority of the senate Republicans are
NOT proeressives and they would not
vote for progressive. The Demo
| cyats will vote for Marshall. Then
comes the deadlock and Secretary
Knox IS chance.

Senator Smith was plainly angry. he

friends and not from the witnesses
against him. He said that develop

to the point where he would not be-
Iieve Lorimer himself now as much as
he did a year ago. He said that the
exposure Of the Henning'Fnnk suit in
Chicago showed the nature of the tao
tics pursued by the Lorimer defense.
The two senators became more ex-

shouted charges and denials back and
