IF DEATH SHOULD
TAKE A CANDIDATE
For President the Election
Would Proceed
IN USUAL way JUST THE SAME
We Do Not Vote For the Pres.
identiaI Candidates, But
For Electors.
THEY WOULD CHOOSE ANOTHER

Suppose one of the candidates for
President of the United States We're
to die the night before election, how
would that situation be handled?
That question comes to me from
the manager of a large industrial
plant. Answer:
Nothing would happen. The cleo
ton would be held on November :
and the voting would proceed as US
ual.
We do not vote for either C. E.
Hughes or Woodrow Wilson. Their
names will not be on the ballots.
What We do vote for is a set OF
Presidential Electors, none of whose
names we bother to learn.
One set of Electors if it wins is
expected to cast Pennsylvania s
State vote for Hughes and the other
set. if it wins, for Wilson.
But the Republican Electors If
successful in Pennsylvania are not
legally bound to cast their ballots in
the Electoral College for Mr.
Hughes. They could vote for any
body who is qualified under the
United States Constitution to hold
the Office of President. The Repub-
llcan Electors could legally vote for
President Wilson.
An Elector is an independent
agent. AS matter of practice he
will vote for the candidate chosen at
4 party convention last June, but he
can legally break the instruction.
just as a delegate to that convention
could have done.
Hence If either Presidential candi-
date We're to die the day before the
election all the States would on the
following day vote for their two sets
OF Presidential Electors in the rou-
tine way.
These Presidential Electors who
are chosen in November are Obliged
to meet in the various States on the
second Monday in January follow
ing. That is the day the President
of the United States is actually
chosen.
That these Electors were intend
led to be free agents and to act as
they deemed best is plainly inferred
by the twelfth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. 1t
srys:
They shall make distinct lists of
all persons voted for as President
and Of all persons voted for as Vice
President"

THE NEW AND THE OLD ROOSEVELT.
The New: April, 1910.

ION August 4, 1914, the issue of
this war for the conscience of the
world was Belgium. Now in the
spring of 1916 the issue remains
Belgium. For eighteen months our
people were hidden by their repre-
sentative at Washington to feel no
resentment against a hideous wrong.
They were taught to tame their hui
man feelings by polished phrases of
neutrality. Because they lacked the
proper outlet of expression they
grew Indifferent to a supreme injus-
tice.
But to-day they are at last be-
coming alive to the iniquity of the
crushing of Belgium. Belgium is
the battle-ground of the war on the
western front. But Belgium is also
the battle-ground of the struggle in
our country between the forces of
good and evil In the ranks of evil
are ranged all the pacilist sentiment
tullSts, tue COWdTuS VINO possess tne
gift of clothing their cowardice in
soothing and attractive words, the
materialists whose souls have been
rotted by exclusive devotion to the
things of the body and sincere per-
sons who are cursed with a deficient
sense of reality and all who lack
forethought or who are uniformed.
Against them stand the great
mass of loyal Americans, who when
they see the right and receive moral
leadership show that they have in
their souls as much of the valor of
as the men of 1850
and 1875. The literary bureau at
has acted as a soporific
on the mind and conscience of the |
American people. Fine words. de-
signed to work confusion between |
right and wrong. have put them to
sleep. But they now stir in their
sleep. - Roosevelt's Introduction

ed after the Jefferson-Burr battle O
1901 there never had been any pc
litical conventions and the Presiden
tial Electors of the various States
were expected to form as many con.
ventions and there to choose a Pres.
ident.
In practice the Presidential Elec.
tors act merely as automatons. They
permit the national conventions to
do their thinking.
If one of the candidates selected
by either convention were to die, the
national committee of that party
would some time after November I
and prior to the second Monday in
January designate candidate.
That recommendation would carry
all the weight of nationcl conven-
ton. But. as have said. in neither
case is the recommendation bind
ing.
Since national conventions We're
first held in Andrew Jackson's time
no Presidential candidate has died
before the election.
When Van Buren, was elected
President no one was elected Vice
President. The United States then
exercised its prerogative and elected
X. NJ. johnson Vice President.
A Presidential Elector in a New
England State refused to follow his
party and voted for James Monroe
Just so he could not be unanimous
ly elected, as was George Washing
ton"
Eleven States did not vote at all
for President in 1864. In 1868
three States that had tried to secede
could not vote.
In 1880 one of California's Presi-
Dental Electors who had been cho-
sen by the Democrats refused to vote
for Hancock. That State, therefore.
gave Garfield one Elector and Han

OVER Is
DANGEROUS JUST NOW

While there is every indication
that Kentucky will go for Wilson by
large majority, the consummation
devoutly to be wished can be accom-
plished only by every Democrat do
ing his full duty. The enemy is
making strenuous efforts to win the
prize, with money and other devices
known to those who are not above
doing anything to accomplish their
purpose. Much money is being
poured into the State and IL it can
seduce enough voters to change their
allegiance, the result may be prob
lematical Fortunately, however.
the Republicans have little conf
dence that they can carry Kentucky,
even with Wall Streets aid, and are
the effort of their lives to
hold even their own, as is shown by
trotting Candidate Hughes through
the State again, much of it through
the territory held by them. and of
which they now seem in no wise GER
tain. They are going to contest ev-
cry inch of ground, however, and
Democrats must be alert Let eter-
nal vigilance have full sway, and
never say quit till a glorious victory
Is won.

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat

undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.

SITUATION VERY
\ EXTRAORDINARY
Calls Forth An Important
Statement y
TO THE NEWSPAPER READERS
Of Kentucky-An Appeal To the'v
Public Who Patr0nize
Newspapers.
CRITICAL CASE Is REVIEWED

To the newspaper readers of Ken
lucky:
The Executive Committee of the
Kentucky Press Association wishes
to bring to the attention of newspa-
per readers, and the friends of the
press, the serious situation con-
fronting the publishers at this time,
and point out some facts which We
feel should be communicated to you
in our attempt to meet conditions
recently thrust upon us. We do this
after much thought on the matter,
feeling that We are acting for the
good of both publisher and reader.
Doubtless you have been, or will be,
called upon to pay q few cents more
on your jobwork, and in some in
stances more for your paper and adj
vertising, in cases where subscrip-
| lions and advertising rates have
been at the minimum.
In the interest of free press We
ask you to meet the advance cheer
fully.
There may be ample excuse, slight
I excuse or no -exrdSt 10 advance the
prices on us as they have been ad-
vanced, but the fact remains that we
are paying from so to 500 per cent.
more for our paper stock, inks, oils,
gasoline, metal, etc., than We did
eight months ago.
Paper makers insist that there
must be a cutting down in the de-
mand upon them: that they are
working three shifts day, and that
at this season of the year when they
should be accommodating a reserve
stock, they cannot supply the de-
mand. Large publishers everywhere
are trying to meet the suggestion of
the paper makers by the strictest
economy in which they are cutting
down the size of paper, margins and
granting NO return of unsold papers.
Small publishers have slight oppor-
tunity to economic in this manner.
The Federal Trade Commission is
deeply concerned and alarmed but
SO far seem powerless to suggest
feasible or adequate relief methods.
Under existing circumstances few
newspapers can continue long with
out a readjustment. Hundreds OF
the weaker ones have already gone
under and many more are about to
suspend.
There Is remedy and it lies in
the strictest economy, advancement
of rates on job work, advertising and
subscription. 1t matters not how
reluctant publishers are to do this, =
it will have to be done if they con-
tinue in business. and continue to be
useful to their readers and patrons.
In conclusion, we call on all per-
sons who believe in the mission of
free press to cooperate with us in
adjusting our business to these new
and unheard-of conditions.

OF Kentucky Press Association.

TELLS MINISTER'S THEY
NEGLECT SOUL WORK
The Rev. j. E. Tuttle Says
Clergymen Give Too Much
Time to Social Affairs

Ministers of today are burdened with
too many business and social affairs and
therefore neglect their main duty--that Of
looking after the spiritual welfare of their
congregations.
This assertion was made today by the
Rev John II. Tuttle, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, of York, in an ad-
dress before Presbyterian ministers at
Westminster Hall in the WlthersDoon
Building.
81 believe that business and social mat
ters should be placed In the hands OF the
layman," he said, but the trouble Is they
expect the minister to do all the pushing
in, the way Of making things progress,
That's why there is a prejudice against
taking a minister who is more than 40
years old. In most places they want
young man who, they believe, can better
push things 70 a conclusion.
"They lose sight completely of the fact
that the main duty OF the minister is 10
take care of the spiritual matters of the
church"
The speaker then pointed out that the
manifold duties greatly hampered the real
work for which the minister was chosen.
I.e declared that the average pastor could
only obtain the proper results when re-
leved of the numerous duties which en-
croach upon his time, The speaker also
asserted that better progress would be OBJ
tanned generally II conditions We're
changed in this connection.

CHAPTER XXX

ALAN was struggling back from coma
"A He was passing through what Lieber
termed to himself stage of reflex cere-
bral phenomena. He muttered, he talked,
but the words were rendered unintelligible
by his thick, dry tongue. Lieber listened.
When his patient could speak clearly. he
would give him broth, even IL he had to
rouse him. But before Alan could speak
clearly he awoke. Lieber found his
sunken eyes, the pupils appearing almost
concave, fixed on him with n seeing gaze.
1t was like resurrection. A spirit had
come down upon the body, Eye to eye,
mouth to mouth, heart to heart, it had
given sight breath, life.
The eyes closed. Leber hurried away
From the kitchen he brought Il bowl of
broth 1t was steaming and filed the
room with an odor of rich essence. 1t was
in itself n concentration of life. Lieber
held Alan's unwilling head on his left arm
and with small spoon carried drops of
the broth to his dry lips. At first Alan
scarcely swallowed them. They stayed In
his mouth or trickled down his throat.
But gradually his tongue softened. He
could feel the contraction of his throat
giving way to the oils of the broth He
