"Don't sit in drarghty car. =
Don't sleep in hot rooms. -
Don't avoid the fresh air..
Don't stuff yourself at meal time.
Overeating reduces your resistance. "

possible. To accomplish that you will

ED IN NOVEMBER, MUST BE
RATIFIED.
ELECTORS TO CAST

MEETINGS TO BE HELD THEN IN

THE BALLOTS MONDAY.

While there is a popular impress
sion that the next President and Vice
President, who are 10 serve from
March 4, 1913, until March 8, 1917,
lave already been elected, that be-
lief, like some others held generally,
is far from the fact, and this asser-
ton rests on no less an authority
than the Constitution OF the United
States.
Under its express provisions the
President and Vice President are yet
to be elected. The secGsd Wednesday
in February is fixed as the date Oh
which the coming President and Vice
President are to be chosen.
In further compliance with the
Constitution certain electors chosen in
the separate States Of the United
States will meet in the respective
capitals on next Monday, which is the
second Monday Of January, and then
end there express their preference
for President and Vice President.
AS every one knows, some Of the
states chose Democratic electors,
others Progressive electors and still
others gave a plurality Of their vote
10 the Republican electors. Nothing
IN the law compels these electors to
vote for any of the candidates who
made the race before the. people
They can, If they choose, turn the
whole thing topsy-turvy and vote for
! any man they see fit to vote for
whether he was candidate before
The people or not, As a matter OF
| fact, however, electors have never
done anything OF the kind.
They have considered themselves
automatons to cast their Totes as the
people directed at the election Iasl
November. If that custom is follow
ed, woodrow Wilson Of New Jersey
a Democrat, will have a hig majority
OF the electoral vote for President and

Attention has been called to the
fact that electors are free agents to
vote for whom they wish, regardless
CT the result OF the vote OF the peo.
pie at the November election. In
1889 and again in 1893 efforts were
made to manipulate the vote on the
vice.presidency. This effort failed.
In 1897 the Hamiltonians tried to de.
feat Adams for the Presidency. They
likewise failed. In the early days
dickers and deals were possible, as
many candidates sought the Presi'
dency, but to the fact that the elect
ors have never met as a mass is at
tributed the failure OF any possible
manipulation.
