The Presidential Electors.

AS required by the Constitution OF
the United States there met yester-
day at the capital of each State the
presidential electors chosen at the
national election held on November
5 of last year, and there was ex-
pressed formally their choice OF the
persons for President and for Wee
President of whom they were the
representatives.
This proceeding was on the order
Of routine, the votes of the Demo-
cratic electors being recorded fol
Wilson and Marshall, the Progress
i've electors for Roosevelt and john
son, and the Taft electors for Taft
and, owing to the death of Sherman
were at liberty to vote for any Re
publican of their choice.
The presidential electors Of
Louisiana met. at Baton Rouge and
named Hon. Allen Sholars of Mon
roe as the messenger who is to car
~ the electoral vote Of Louisiana to
Washington under the seal of the
State, addressed to the president OF
the Senate.
On Wednesday, February IL, Lin
coins birthday, the president OF the
Senate, in the presence of the MEM
bers of the Senate and the House OF
Representatives, will open the Gel
tiflcates received from the electors
and the votes will be counted and
the result announced formally.
AS is known to the people, Wilson
and Marshall will be declared to
. have been elected and will be so de-
ciared elected as the President and
the Vice President OF the United
States for the term of four years
beginning on March next.
The procedure in the Electoral
College is very simple but is no less
an emphasis Of the strength of this
Republic.
During the presidential Campaign
there were many misgivings ex-
pressed as to what would happen if
the vote was close and the result
were to be left to Congress. Forum
ately the majority for the Demo-
cratic candidates was decisive, and
there was avoided the expected en-
tanglement, but if the election had
been thrown into the House of Rep
resentatives, each State, regardless
OF population could have, had but
one vote, and the majority of the
States having pronounced for Will
son and Marshall the strength of the
Democratic candidates would not
have been affected in the least.
In considering this provision of
the Constitution it may be observed
that frequently efforts have been
directed to q change, but even the
suggestion of an election by popular
vote direct for president and vice
president has failed to enlist serious
consideration Of an amendment to
the Constitution. To secure such a
change the consent of three-fourths
Of the States would have to be OBJ
tanned and this is scarcely possible.
The Fathers Of the Republic were
wise men indeed. They were en-
lowed with the foresight which

to hang about their hotel for her
about O'Clock in the evening. After

Simkins and / parted.
The next night, attired In natty

All that 1t Applies TO Must Come
Down by the 22nd

Down by the End
Marshal Brigance has just COM
pleted his rounds of notification of
the passage of the sign ordinance.
While it is not necessary TO notify the
public of the passage of city laws,
our marshal has taken it upon him
self to present, personally to every
business house in the city a copy of
the recently passed and approved or
dfnance prohibiting the placing of
advertising signs across the side
walks. The time limit set for the
ordinance to take effect is July %.
Those who have not obeyed its pro-
visions on that date will be brought
before the recorder, but with the ad-
vance notice given by the marshal it
is hoped that all will have complied.
All awnings must be nine feet above
the sidewalks, while advertising
signs must be placed on the building
lengthwise.
