IF A CANDIDATE SHOULD DIE.
What Would Happen If a Presidential
Nominee Was Removed From Race.

Suppose one Of the candidates for
President Of the United States were to
die the night before election. How
would that situation be handled?
That question comes to me from the
manager of large industrial plant.
Answer:
Nothing would happen. The election
would be held November Z and the vot-
ing would proceed as usual
We do not vote for either G. =.
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, II It wins. is sx-
pected to cast Pennsylvania vote for
Hughes, and the other set. II 1t wins. for
Wilson. ..-, .--.,. :. -
But the Republican electors II sue.
cessful in Pennsylvania are not legally
bound to cast their ballots In the elec-
toral college for Mr.. Hughes. ThAy
could vote for anybody who Is qualiAe6
under the United States Constitution to
hold the office Of President. The Re-
publican 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 party ,conven.
ton last June, but he can legally break
the instruction, just as a delegate to
that convention could have done.
There have been a number of instAn-
ces in our history where this has been
done.
Hence, if either presidential candidate
were to die the day before the election.
all the States would on the following
day vote for their two sets Of presiden'
tiaI electors in the routine way.-Ph1la-

BIG MEN OF ALASKA
BY Jack Jungmeyer.

OF Alfred H. Brooks, high on
the roster of Alaska's big men,
it is said-not impiously-that
he and Providence alone know all
about our northern territory.
OF course Brooks, chief of the
Alaska division of the United
States geological survey, got on
the job considerable spell after
the land was divided from the
waters, but since he's been there
he's been mighty busy.
Geologically, there isn't much
of Alaska that has kept its Sc
crets from Alfred Brooks, quiet,
reticent, middle-aged man of sci
ence, whose labors have been of
inestimable benefit to the gov
eminent as we'll as to northland
pioneers.
For years he scarcely ever
came outside, but now he spends
only his summers in Alaska, d.
