cooperate in case it is desired to do
so.
Should the word be given oy the
president 5000 men will be rushed at
once to sieze the strategic points on
the railroads and control the supplies.
1t is estimated at the war Off ,e that
it would take two months for an in
vading army to reach Mexico City
from the Atlantic coast.
In the meantime the troops of the
Texas frontier would march on to the
capital.
1t is estimated by the war depart
ment that 10000 men could be mob
ilized on the border within a week.
Of these 10000 would proceed south
from Eagle Pass and an equal member
would be sent from Ell Paso, leaving
5000 to go from Nogales for Sonora
and 5000 reserves.

WI SON AND MARSHAL FORMERLY ELECTEDIS
DECISION OF CONGRESS in ITS CANVASS TODAY

nounced the vote and declared the
elections of Wilson and Marshall. The
Joint session was then adjourned sine
die.
Under the law Bacon's announce
ment is decided sufficient declara-
ton of election"
Today's proceedings were instituted
in April, 17S9 when the first joint can
vass was held.
George Washington is the only pres
ident who has had the unanimous vote
of the electoral college. James Mon
roe received all but one vote in 1920,
when former Governor and former
Senator Plummer of New Hampshire
cast the sole dissenting vote.
The vote afficially given Wilson to-
day, however, is the largest plurality
any president has received in years.
President Taft got only 921 votes;
Roosevelt 1886, and Mckinley 292.
The votes canvassed today were only

and vice presidential candidates. AL
though thousands of voters believed
they were voting for the candidates
last November, they were merely
voting for the electors.
On January 13 the electors met at
the capitals of the respective states
and cast the vote polled today. Cop
les were sent to the secretary of state,
and also by mail and messenger to the
president of the senate. The votes
now become part of the archives of
congress, and will be carefully
guarded in fireproof vaults of the cap
itol.
Today's proceedings were those
which were generally predicted last
fall as possibly provocative of dead
lock. 1t was feared that none of the
candidates for president would have a
plurality of the electoral votes, be-
cause of the bitter, triangular cam
paign. The law provides that if none
of the candidates had had a plurality
at today's joint session, the three high
est candidates should be voted upon
each state casting one vote.

GOVERNMENT UNDER LAW

| submitted to and ratified by the peo-
pie.
Consequently, the trainers of our
4 constitution made the distinction in
the majorities required in the one case
to adopt an amendment, and in the
other to provide for convention.
| You will observe that in neither of
| the provisions noted is it provided that
a majority of the electors voting
thereon shall be sufficient to adopt.
On the contrary, in the case of calling
a convention, majority of all the
electors voting at said election is re-
quired; not a majority Of those voting
on the question: while in the case of
the adoption of an amendment, it must
be ratified by a majority of the elect
ors, which means not only a majority
of all those electors who voted at such
election, but a majority of those who
were registered and legally qualified
to vote.
ton clear on this matter so that all
who may peruse this letter may under
stand that we have been negligent in
not providing the necessary legisla-
ton to carry out the provisions for
the adoption or rejection of an amend
ment or amendments to the state con-
stitution.
1t has been the habit or custom for
the state board of canvassers to an
nounce in semi-official manner
whether proposed amendments have
been ratified or not, but at the meet
ings of such board they have no rec
ord of the number of qualified electors
in the state. Then how is it possible
for the board to determine whether an
amendment has been ratified by ma
jority of the electors, when they have
no information as to the number nee
essary to constitute majority?
There should be provision of law
requiring the county auditors to certi-
fly to the secretary of state the num-
ber of registered electors in their re-
spective counties, to the end that the
state board of canvassers may have
the means of determining whether pro-
posed amendments have been ratified
as the constitution provides.
Section 453 of the revised code
should be amended so as to provide
hat the state board of canvassers shall
canvass the vote on constitutional
and certify to their adop-
ton or rejection, causing the result
to be certified by the secretary of state |
under his seal of office.
The constitution of the state as ori-
ginally adopted by the people was GER
tified by the proper officials; the laws
enacted by the legislature at each ses-
sion are certified by the secretary of
state, yet we have permitted a number
If so-called amendments to be grated

ion without a proper certificate of
heir adoption.

That Idaho is no longer a govern
ment under law If the claim is set up
that the amendments submitted at the
last election are permitted to become a
part Of the state constitution, is [.
statement made by former Governor
w. J. Mcconnell, a member of the
state constitutional convention, in a
Letter to Senator Hunt of Bannock
county. The letter is startling in its
revelation of a condition by which a
minority can establish an alleged con-
stitutional law in contravention of the
expressed determination of the state
constitution, and its distinct intention,
as the Governor sets forth in his let
ter:
Hon J. Frank Hunt, Boise, Ida Dear
enator:-Your letter of January 13
addressed to me here, arrived during
my absence, and consequently has re-
mained unanswered thus long.
l am glad to note that you agree
with me in my contention that the con-
stitution of Idaho is a sacred document
and that to amend it the provisions of
Section 1, Article 20, of that instru-
ment must be observed The sentence
upon which the entire question de-
pends, is as follows: "and if a major
ity of the electors shall ratify the
same, such amendment or amendments
shall become a part of this constitu-
tion'
Section 2, Article 6, of the constitu-
ton of Idaho defines the meaning of
Elector as follows: Except as in this
article otherwise provided, every male
or. female citizen of the United States
21 years old, who has actually resided
in the state or territory for six months,
and in the county where he or she
offers to vote, 80 days next preceding
the day of election, if registered as
provided by law, is qualified elector." :"
1t appears from the section quoted
that all citizens who possess the fore
going qualifications are electors; a
majority of whom are required to rati-
fy an amendment before it becomes a
part of the constitution.
The trainers of the constitution
made wise distinction between
amending that instrument by direct
vote of the electors and amending or
revising 1t by convention; in the first
instance, as is shown, it requires q
majority of the electors, while to re-
wise or amend by convention, as p',-
vided by section of the same article, |
it requires only a majority of all the |
electors voting at said election.
The reason for the distinction be-
tween the majority provided for in sec
tions one and two, was that section |
one provides for an amendmeErs or
or amendments which, if adopted as
provided, by a majority of the electors,
shall become part of the constitution.

mitted to the electors as provided In

tutionaI convention, merely provides

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 25.-
The second extraordinary honor in
his life has come to Commander Vic
tor Blue, u. S. N. The new secre-
tary of the navy, Josephus Daniels,
has appointed this South Carolina
seaman of distinguished military an
cestry to the position of chief of the
bureau of navigation, post in i'm
portance second only to the secre-
taryship of the navy. 1t carries with
1t the rank of rear admiral.
The first extraordinary honor came
during the war with Spain. Blue
was then lieutenant in command of
the gunboat Suwanee, AS the re-
suit of his daring journey overland
through Cuban wilderness and hos
tile Spanish soldiery, he found the
Spanish fleet of four armored cruis-
the information he brought back to
Admiral Sampson was the basis of
operations which led to the extinc-
ton of Spanish rule in the western
hemisphere.
This Journey Blue took was one of
the most hazardous in the history
of American military and naval
operations. Having volunteered and
taken the commission of Admiral
Sampson. the young lieutenant in
full uniform and side arms. was put
ashore and left to his own resources
at Asseraderos, eighteen miles from
Santiago harbor. The odds were
that on his seventy-mile journey he
would be either killed or captured,
but If captured in uniform he could
not be killed as a spy. He was pre-
