SENATE MAY NAME
|. PRESIDENT OF U. S.
Might Choose vice-President
Who Would Become Ma
tion's Head.

WASHINGToN, Oct ol--Taken
into conjunction with the possibility
that the presidential election may be
thrown into the House of Represen-
tatives, the death of Vice-President
Sherman, who was candidate on
the Republican ticket TO succeed
himself merely. serves further to
complicate the already complicated
situation.
One of the newest questions, raised
by one of the constitutional lawyers
Of the Senate. Is whether, after all,
Secretary Knox would serve as Pres
ident more than few days. even
though the House should be dead
locked on the choice of a President
and the Senate likewise should be
deadlocked on the choice of a vice
president.
1t is conceded that the House
would be evenly divided between the
Democratic and Republican candi-
dates for President, and unless some
of the insurgent members of the Re-
publican party should jump the res
ervation nothing could be done. In
the Senate, owing to the fact that
the Republicans have majority of
but six votes and the insurgents are
uncertain, there would be u failure
to elect a viee-president.
The question raised today, how
ever is whether the Senate of the
sixty third Congress. which Secre-
tary Knox would Immediately call
into extraordinary session, would not
have the right to elect vice. presi-
dent who would Immediately sue
ceed to the presidency. If the DEM
ocrats carry the Senate, even though
Governor Wilson does not get ma
jority in the Electoral College, 1t
may easily happen that Governor
Marshall, the Democratic candidate
for vice president, would be elected
by the Senate as vice-president. inn
mediately succeeding to the presi-
dency.
Should the election be thrown into
the House of Representatives be-
cause no candidate received a ma
jority of the electoral college vote,
and that body was unable to elect a
President, and the Senate attempted
to elect a Vice President, the death
of Mr.. Sherman creates an entirely
different condition. II the Senate
could elect Vice President that CT.
fetal wotld then succeed to the pres
idency.
The constitution provides thar in
these circumstances the Senate must
make It's choice from the two persons
polling tho highest number Of votes.
If Mr.. Sherman were one of these
two. his death doubtless justifies a
total disregard of the vote cast for
him and limits the choice for Vice
President to Mr.. Marshall, the Demo-
cratic candidate. and Mr.. Johnson,
the Progressive. From one of these
two the Vice President would have
to be chosen. The Democrats, Of
course, would not support Johnson.
The regulars would support neither
Marshall nor Johnson and It would
be expecting too much to ask the in
surgents to agree to vote tvr any man
selected by the regular Republicans.

Washington at noon today for Balti-
mort to become the guest of w. ID.

been made recently. The plate OF
Conway is the only one that has come
to the knowledge of the police. and
they were eager to make use of it.

left today, told the Haskell woman
they probably would return The

of men and women swept from their
feet the detectives who had been

They seemed bent on wreclking

with them in their own language. He
had a loaded revolver lying within
easy reach.
The police reserves charged into the

out the most unruly from the bank.
