FOURTH TINE PRESIDENTIAL
CONTEST HUNG IN BALANCE.
Parker r. Anderson in Greensboro
Daily NewsO

Daily News.O
For the first time since 1876. So
hours passed after the polls were
closed with the question of the cleo
ton of a president still in doubt. Many
Washingtonians regard the famous
Hayes-Tilden controversy as the only
occasion when such a close situation
prevailed.
Historical reference develops the
fact that this is the fourth time since
the beginning of the country that the
election as been i'm doubt. Thomas
Jefferson and John Quincy Adams, in
1900 and in 1924 we're each elected
President by the house of representa-
tives. and Rutherford B. Hayes was
chosen by an electoral commission
when both the house and the senate
declined to decide the contest.
In the election of 1900 Thomas JEFF
ferson and Aaron Burr we're the lead
ing candidates. Both polled 70 votes.
At that time the electoral college vot-
ed on individuals for the presidency
only, the man receiving the second
highest number of votes being de
clared elected vice president.
The law provides that in case of a
tie NOLG Tie UOu0G I'll SSCuLdI1tS
shall elect, each state having one vote.
A majority of the states is necessary
for a choice. In case the house of
| representatives shall not be able to
muster a majority for any one candi-
date before March 4, the vice president
shall become president.
1t is provided that the person hav-
ing the greatest number of votes for
Win --4nSInp& rhn1I L. rSa4 @NnAnS5Aa%
in case this number of votes consti-
tutes a majority. If no person has a
majority, however, the two highest
numbers on the list shall be voted on
by the senate in the same way the
house elects a president.
/ In 1900, in the Jefferson case, Jeffer-
son was elected President with the
votes of 10 states. Burr. having re-
! ceived the votes of four states. became
vice president. The constitutional
election provisions were changed af-
ter this election so that thereafter
electors voted for both a president
and a vice president, instead of just a
president, az had been the case be-
fore.
In 1924 Andrew Jackson and John
Quincy Adams were the candidates.
According TO record. Jackson receiv-
ed 80 electoral votes and Adams "a.
Neither had a majority of the whole
number OF electors. there being two
other candidates who polled 7S votes
between them. The election then
went to the house of representatives.
and Adams was elected.
In 1876 there was disputed votes
from Florida. louisiana and South
Carolina. double returns being made
from those states. In Louisiana 4
Republican board was accused OF
turning a democratic into a repubIi-
can majority bv rejecting the votes OF
precincts In which IL declared fraud
Or intimidation to have been used. In
Florida the vote had been very close.

In oregon three Republican electors

ineligible and the governor of the state,

one electoral vote was needed to give
either Hayes or Tilden a majority. 1t

McGILLICUDDY'S DEFEAT
SURPRISES POLITICIANS

One of the surprises to politicians
who watched the Maine election was
the defeat of Representative McGill-
cuddy. democrat. who was expected to
show great strength because of the
backing given him by the labor leaders.
Representative McGillicuddy. author of
the federal compensation act, had about
as good a political asset as any repre-
sentative who ever sought reelection,
as the compensa ton act provides an
adequate and scientific method for pay
ment Of pensions and compensations
for injured and disabled employees OF
the federal government 1t was enact
ed only a few days before the Maine
election.
Labor leaders are said to have gone
into the McGillicuddy district and cam
paigned strongly for him. Democrats
claimed the Lewiston district. from
which Mr.. McGillicuddy comes. and re-
publican forecasters conceded that it
would go democratic But the republi-
can candidate won by a comfortable
much to the surprise of every
one, and to the great confusion of GER
tain democratic leaders who are worry
ing over the labor end of the outcome.

DEMOCRATS NEED MORE
THAN G. O. P. IN ILLINOIS
Deductions Based on Silent Vote and
Vote Cast in Primaries
Wednesday.

political statistician of this city,
who notes carefully the returns from
primaries and elections. has made some
computations on the basis Of the ILL.,
nois primary vote cast the other day
which are of interest at this time. He
observes that the total vote cast by all
three parties in 1912 for President-re-
publicans. democrats and progressives-
was approximately 1,045,000. one-half
being 522,562. The republican vote for
senator in the recent primaries was
423,36l, so that in order to carry Illi-
nos, in November the republicans must
get s9,202 votes from those who did not
go to the polls at the primary The
democratic vote Wednesday for senator
was 239,S82, so that to carry the state,
on the basis of the 1912 vote, the demo-
crats-must get 2S2.Ssl Of the now silent
votes in November. Reduced to per-
centage. to win in November the repub-
licans must get % per cent of the now
silent vote. while the democrats must
get II per cent.
This same statistician has drawn an
other interesting deduction froM the H.
linois returns. on the point of the re-
union of the progressives with the re-
publicans. He computes that il every
republican who voted for Taft in 1912
went to the polls Wednesday and voted
for the republican candidate for sena-
tor, no less than A per cent of the pro-
gressive votes Of 1912 was also cast for
that candidate. Inasmuch as 1t is prob
able he reasons, that not all of the Taft
voters of 1912 went to the polls at the
primary, it follows that a much larger
percentage of the 1912 progressives
were active Wednesday for the republi-
can ticket

NEW YORK, September I5,-
Although union leaders have ,vir-

Mitchell and the. public service
commission may bring about All
amicable adjustment of the differ
enees between the striking street
railway men and their employers,
the belief was stNng in official
circles today that some action
would be taken within the next
twenty-four hours to avert the
threatening sympathetic strike of
10000 trade unionists.

The Brooklyn Central Labor. Union,

strike.
During the night violence broke out
anew. From midnight until early to-
day 6th and 9Th avenue elevated
trains were bombarded with. bricks,
stones and other missiles. One. guard
was injured. Service on the subway
and elevated lines continues normal.

lines in the greater city. -
Other Unions Discuss Plans.
Pans were discussed today by the
leaders of the street railway strike for
a sympathetic walkout of $4,000 to
$4,000 workers here in trades allied
with the operation of the street car
system. James P. Holland. president OF
the State Federation OF Labor. has
threatened to call out the workers in
these trades IL the present deadlock is
not broken before tomorrow night.
The Central Labor Union of Brook

trolls ninety-flve local organizations.
The New York Central Federated Union
is to consider the question tonight.
The plan. however. must be approved
by the local unions before it can be
put into effect.
The determination of the strike

was interpreted to mean that they have

To Answer Candidate Hughes,
Justifying Legislation Which
Averted Strike.
WORK BASIS Permanent;
PAY INCREASE TEMPORARY
Welcomes Argument, and Will Make
Known His View in Speech at
Shadow Lawn or in Letter.

LONG BRANCH, NJ, Sep
tember I5.-President Wilson de-
cided today to take advantage OF
the earliest possible opportunity
to challenge the statement made
by Charles E. Hughes in recent
speeches that the basis on which
the recently threatened railroad
strike was averted was merely an
increase of wages for the en-
ployes.
The President, his political advisers
said today. considers the principle Of
the eighthour day vitality affected by
the strike settlement. and will seek
to show that, while the railroad legis-
lation passed by Congress to meet the
situation will give the employees at
least a temporary increase in pay, the
more important point is that it es-
tablished the eight-hour day as the
basis of work for railroad workmen.
By Speech or Letter.
The President will make known his
views either in a speech at Shadow
Lawn or in a letter. Democratic lead
ers expect the republicans to continue
their efforts to make the strike settle
ment an issue. 1t was said today that
Mr.. Wilson will welcome such an argu-
ment.
Mr.. Wilson expects to make clear that
he will not be satisfied until Congress
enacts into law the rest of'the railroad
legislation he recommended when the
strike was threatened, including an in
crease in the interstate commerce COM
mission and a measure Tor fnvestfga-
tion of controversies between railways
and their employees before strikes or
lockouts are called.

objection, it is pointed out. that no mat
ter what plan might be employed to ad-

ments its joint character would be hard
to maintain.
No Need Then for Patrol.
1t has been contended. also. that if
the de facto government was strong
enough to give practical cooperation in
the operation of the border police the
need for such a force would have passed.
Mexico could then take care of the situa-
tion within her own borders.
There is no doubt that one purpose of
the Washington administration is to
arouse Mexico to the moral obligation
that 1t is felt rests upon her to protect
American interests along the interna-
tional line from depredations of Mexican
bandits. For this reason 1t seems un-
likely that any plan for protecting the
border will prove acceptable that seems
to relieve her of that responsibility.
