DEADLOCK WOULD
PROBABLY RESULT
Speculation on Choice 0
President by Congress.

Washington, Oct 29.-With Repub-
lican, Democratic and Progressive
campaigners all certain of election
seven days hence, there was a revival
here of speculation as to the possi-
bility that congress might be required
to name the next president.
Such contingency could only come
about If none Of the presidential can
didates secure majority of the cleo
toral college-or 266 electoral votes.
If Wilson, Taft or Roosevelt di-
vided in such a fashion that none re-
ceived 266 votes then the election
would automatically be thrown into
the house of representatives.
1t is figured out that in such case
there would very likely be deadlock
In the house, as according to the con-
stitution all procedure in balloting for
the president and vice president the
representatives must vote by state
one ballot for each representative,
the states electoral vote to be cast
as a whole.
II was the general assumption of
those who "doped out" the situation
that where states were divided the
unit rule" would apply and the ma
jority's candidate would receive the
states vote.
There are now forty-eight states SO
divided that twenty-five states con-
stftute a majority.
At present the Democratic and Re-
publican strength in the house, by
states, is exactly divided--twentv.
two each--,,ith four other states
evenly divided In political strength.
| The evenly divided states could
cast no vote in which deadlock be-
tween Democrats and Republicans
might very well occur. The situation
IL further complicated by the fact that
there are number of representative
who would probably vote for Roose.

L. IRVING HANDY RECEIVES BIG
RECEPTION
HIS NEW LECTURE DELIGHTS
LARGE AUDIENCE

People from Newark and vicin-
ity crowded the preShyterian
Church on Sunday evening. whpn
Hon. l.. Irving Handy. Of Smyrna,
delivered all address entitled. "Thr
Immortality OF the Soui. - DR..
Rowan. the pastor. seemed mucM
pleased with the response Of the
people to the invitation given by
the church to hear this address. iir
spoke Il few earnest words OF wei
come to Mr.. Handy. expressing il
wish. III the name OF the people OF
Newark. that our former fellow
townsman might see fit to return t.
Newark and live with us again.
Those who have heard Mr.. iIandy's )
well known lecture. Did He Die
and Live Again. were not disap-
pointed in his manner Of handling
his subject on Sunday evening.
One point Of his argument was
that Nature provides satisfaction
for all our devout desires. Without
prompting. we hunger. and there is
| food: we thirst and there is drink;
we long for love. and the world is
full Of love. Why. then. should We
have in our hearts this greatest of
all desires-to live. and to have
eternal life-if. after this life here,
there be annihilation?
: He maintains that Nature is So
economical that NOT Il drop Of water
/ is wasted. but is transformed ana
utilized. returning again to the sea,
to follow the same process again
and again. This Nature that allows
no drop Of water to be wasted, will
assrredly not permit a human soul
to pass into nothingness.
In closing his argument. Mr..
Handy expressed his belief that
justice always prevails. In this
world we see right upon the scat
fold and wrong upon the throne
and if Justice be given. there must
be Il life after this. where lives,
beautiful and pure but suffering
affliction and wrongs. will have
their sequel. Mr.. Handy made M
reference to Scriptural promises
yet his address was strong and ap
pealing and his audience was at
tentive and appreciative. Indeed
it must have been gratifying t,
him to note the estee m of the peo
pie for him. The music furnished
during the evening was especially
good.

pressed as his idea that the one
wonderful chance for Delaware
College was the building up Of the

highest point of efficiency. He SAID
it was indeed doubtful if the other
departments would be able to COM
pete with the great technical
schools Of the country. but that ii
was well within the possibility OF
the institution to become one Of the
leading agricultural colleges OF the
country. and perhaps gain not only
u national but worldwide reputa-
ton The need Of the day, more
than anything else. to his mind, was
for the scientifically trained and
educated farmer, and in his line
perhaps lay our greatest possibility.

DIR. ROWAN LECTURES ON
THE MAKING OF THE ORATOR

The second Of the series Of Fac
ulty Lectures was delivered III the
Oratory Of Delaware College last
evening. Or. w. J. Rowan dis
cl.ssed the making of the orator,
the speaker himself showing thor
ough mastery OF the subject at
hand.
Dir. Rowan believes that while
"orat0rs are born. careful conScl-
cntious attention to the stidy OF the
art will enable the average man to
express his ideas forcibly so that he
may hecome Il power with his fel-
lowmen. lie cited as instances OF
genius Alexander Hamilton. the
boy Of nineteen. sweeping the audi
ence before him--that same man,
after having studied the mechanics
of speech.--a still greater power.
The genius represented by Lin
coin s Gettysburg speech is evident
to everyone.
How much greater that same
man s power might have been had
it been strengthened by training in
the control of voice, gesture, etc.
The present day Grafton was COM
pared with that of the fathers,
! Henry Lees funeral Grafton on
Washington being an example Of
the polished style Of the earlier

One Of the most interesting parts
Of the lecture was the speaker ) IL
lllStration Of the traditional ac-
counts Of the way in which Patrick
Henry delivered his Richmond
speech.
DR.. Rowan emphasized the value
Of training by comparing the
amount Of practice and effort en-
pended by the musician, with the
time spent by great many would

result is as favorable as it is. A>

Newark. Delaware.
My Dear Doctor Sypherd: Al
though | am more than 200 miles
from Newark there are reasons
stronger than that Of mere distance
why | must deny myself the pleas
ure of dining with the Alumni Of
Delaware College. and | greatly re-
gret that | shall be unable to make
one Of you upon that occasion.
Technically | am the sole survivor
of my class, since two of the three
graduates Of 1873 are dead. There
were others. however. who for vari-
Ous reasons did not obtain degrees
in that year. though they were
originally of the class. | should be
uncommonly glad to meet any of
them at banquet or even upon a
desert island.
All the pleasant things | hear of
Delaware College greatly encour-
age me, and | am especially inter
ested in the news that some effort
will probably be made by the insti-
tuition to meet the needs of women
for collegiate education. Although
| am heartily in sympathy with the
desire Of women for an education
equivalent to that afforded boys by
the colleges. am perhaps less than
ever an advocate Of co-education.
1t ought to be possible, however.
for Delaware College to do for our
girls in Delaware much what Ilar-
ward does for young women at Rad
cliffc. What we need is an aroused
and intelligent public opinion upon
this subject. and means to do the
work. 1t has long been a favorite
idea Of mine that Delaware College
should be equipped to offer night
classes to young mechanics and 9th
ers who are busy earning theil
bread by day. Once the community
realizes that the college has in it the
possibilities of far wider useful
ness, the means will be supplied tC
provide education for such young
men and as well for young women
The people of the State have mo-
yet taken the college as thoroughly
: into their affections as they should
chiefly because they know very i'm
perfectly the work it is doing, anc
: realize even less the work it can do
It is for the loyal alumni OF the col
: lege to spread the love and tn
l knowledge Of the institution anon!

} ton at its dinner will take prope
cognizance of the death of Josepl
