LUCKY THIRTEEN" AGAIN
IN GOVERNORS CAREER
Thirteenth Occupant of Chair
as Second Democrat to
Follow Buchanan

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. = Gov.
Woodrow Wilson got his highest col
legiate honors today-the luckiest OF
lucky "thirteens," marking his career.
A diploma marked elected president"
will be the college honors conferred
upon him by the electoral college"
Today is set by law for the real
election" of Wilson as president.
Presidential electors, chosen at the
November election, will meet in every
one OF the 48 state capitols today, and
will cast their votes for president and
vice-presldent.
Todays vote is. however, perfume
tory. The electors register, as they
were pledged on the November ticket,
the choice of the people for the ma
tons chief and substitute" executive
Wilson and Marshall The result has
long been known, because of the in
violable pledges Of the electors TO vote
as they are instructed.
Today. the electors prepare their
returns" to forward here to the presL
dent pro tenn of the senate. These
returns will be sent, one set by
mail. and one set by a special mes
pShSOA h"hNd Wy bhC ClCNlOlb vi CttCu

Feb. IL. In joint session OF the senate
and house, when Wilson will be for
mally proclaimed president.
Comforting of It's degree" OF presi.
dent by the electoral college today, al.
though fragmentary because OF their
separation at their respective state
capitols, causes Wilson's lucky thir-
teen" to. loom up more prominently
than ever today-the 18th OF January,
1913. IN addition to the trail of 13s
which follow the president-elect. a
new "anti-hoodoo" was revealed today
in that Wilson, being the second Dem
ocrat to occupy the White house since
President Buchanan left, he will also
be the thirteenth occupant, after
Buchanan.
