Ia Case Of No Election.

New York Herald: Should no candi-
date for President have majority OF
the electors when the votes are com
piled in the senate chamber the cleo
ton would be thrown into the house
Of representatives. Under amendment
10 to the constitution three candidates
can be voted for in the house. Instead
Of each state having its numerical rep
resentation recorded each state Is en-
titled to but one vote. New York,
with forty-three members of the
house., would be no more important
than Delaware, with one. There are
forty-eight states now represented in
the house. 1t would be necessary for
the party backing Mr.. Taft, Gov. Will
son and the third candidate to have
carried majority Of the congression-
al representation in twenty-five states
in order to get certificate of election
from the house. The constitution
says that "a quorum for this purpose
shall consist of a member or members
from two-thirds OF the states, and a
majority of all the states shall be
necessary to choice.
But If the house shall not elect by
March following a general election,
then the vice president shall act az

In view of the manifest effort to
throw the election into the house the
vice presidency becomes OF unusual
Importance. If the third termers were
to accept Governor Marshall, the
Democratic candidate for vice presi-
dent, and were able to carry enough
states to hold the balance OF power,
then the canvass of the votes might
really elect vice president, while
falling to elect President.
