Electing a President.

When the voters go to the polls
November 5 they will not find the
names of Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt
on the ballots. Instead they will
dnde the names of twelve men called
presidential electors, who will vote
for Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt if elec-
ted. In other words, a voter does
not vote for president but elects a
man to vote for him.
These presidential electors are not
legally bound to vote for any person
and the writers of the constitution
actually meant for them to use their
own Judgment. But an elector has
come to regard his position as n
of a high degree of honor and not in
many years has one betrayed his
trust and voted for a candidat who
did not cary the state.
Each state has as many electors as
it has senators and representatives
so that Minnesota will have twelve
in the next college. The electors
meet in their own states on an an
pointed day and ballot separately for
president and vice president. The
result of the vote is signed, certified
and sealed and sent to the president
OF the senate. In the presence of both
the house and the senate, the votes
are opened and counted and the re-
suit announced. This usually takes
place in January.
There is a provision in the con-
stitution that in case no candidate
receives a majority of votes in the
electoral college then, the three high
est on the list come before the house
for ballot-but the house then votes
by states and each state has but one
vote. A quorum for this vote con-
sists of at least one representative
from two-thirds of the states. A
majority of all the states is neces-
sary for a choice.
In case that it falls to the house to
choose a president and it fails to
name one before March 4, 1913 the
vice president then will become pres
ident until the next election just as |
though President Taft had become
disabled: The vice president is cleo
ted by the senate from the two high;
est and twe-thirds of the senators
e 49,, ,
must be present to make a quorum,
and a majority is necessary for a
choice.
The presidential situation this
year is peculiar in that there are
three candidates-Taft, Wilson and
Roosevelt-each of whom believes he
will win and it appears now as
though neither has a wide margin on
either of the others. In case then
that neither receives a majority of
the vote, the entire question will go
to the house.
But in the house the vote will be |
by states so that whereas Minnesota !
will have twelve votes in the cleo
toral college, it would have but one
in the house. This puts each state,
regardless of population, on the same
basis. It is not an impossibility that
the house might not agree or one
man before March 4 since it must
ballot on the three highest and Taft,
