ELEcTlNe A PRESIDENT.

Suppose one OF candidates for President Of the
United states were to the night before election how
would that situation be handled?
The answer:
Nothing would happen The election would be held on
November and the voting would proceed as usual
We do not vote for either G. u. Hughes or woodrow
wilson Their names will not be the ballots What
for is set Of presidential electors none o
whose names we bother TO learn
one set Of if it wins is expected to cast Mis-
sisspps state vote Wilson and the other set II i
wins, for Hughes.
But the Democratic electors not legally bound TO
cast their ballots the electoral college for MI wilson
They could vote anybody who is qualified under the
United States Constitution hold the office OF President
The Democratic electors could legally vote for Hughes
An elector is an independent agent As matter OF
practice he will vote Tor the candidate chosen at party
convention june bat he legally break the instruc
lion Just as delegate to that convention could have
done
There have been number Of instances in our history
where this has been done.
Hence if either presidential candidate to die the
day before election all the states would on the follow
ing day their sets Of presidential electors IN
the routine way.
These presidential electors who are chosen in Novem
her are obliged to meet in various states the
ond Monday January following That is the day the
President Of the United States is actually chosen
"SSAieS~
to act as they is plainly inferred by the
twelfth amendment to the Constitution of the United
States. 1t says:
eThey shall make distinct lists Of all persons voted for
as President and persons voted for Vice Pres
dent"
When that amendment was adopted after the JeHer-
battle of 1901 there had never any political
conventions the presidential electors of the various
states were expected to form conventions and
there TO choose President
In practice the presidential electors act merely as au
tomatons They permit the national conventions to do
their thinking.
ii one candidates selected by either convention
were die the national committee of that party would
some time after November and prior 10 the second Mon
day in January designate candidate.
That Recommendation would carry all The weight Of
national convention But in neither is the recon-
lmendation binding.
Since national conventions first held in Andrew
Jacsons time presidential candidate has died before
the election.
When Van Buren, was elected President no ore was
elected Vice President The United States Senate then
exercised its prerogave and elected r. NJ Johnson Vice
President.
presidential eIector in New England state refused
to follow his party and for James Monroe us he
could not be unanimously elected George Wash
ington.e
Eleven did at all for President in 1864
1868 three that had tried to secede could not
vote.
In 1880 one Californias presidential electors who
had been chosen by refused to vote for
Hancock That state therefore gave Carheld eleeto
and seock five.

NO Use FOR THE JAIL
. since TOWN Went DRY
(Staff correspondence

Ontario, Jan. 31.-A new record has
been established here since the closing
of the saloons became effective the
first of the present year as result
of the state of Oregon going dry. The
record at the Ontario city hall shows
that the city Jail has not been used
since the first of the year for any
case in which the town of Ontario
as a municipality was directly inter
ested. The only use made of the city
Jail here since the saloons were
closed was once when nine prisoners
were kept there for few hours one
afternoon while enroute from the
county Jail at Vale to the state peni-
Tertiary at Salem. These nine prison.
ers were brought here by Sheriff Ben
Brown on the afternoon train from
Vale and were kept in the city Jail
until the arrival of the west bound
train for Portland. The second time
the city Jail here was used since the
first of the year was one night when
a man who was caught taking some
grain from a ranch outside the town
limits, was locked up.
A thing quite noticeable in Ontario
now is the absence of that class of
men commonly known as floaters and
buns. 1t is reported that not a single
drunk man has been seen in Ontario
for the past four weeks.

FAVORABLE REPORT IS
MADE TO SETTLERS
(Capital News Special service.)

Capital News Special Service.)
Middleton, Jan. 31.-The mass meet
ing of the Settlers Reclamation asso
citation of Middleton held at the hall
Wednesday afternoon was well attend
ed and much interest was shown. The
settlers had come to hear the report of
the investigating committee as to
what had been learned regarding pros
poets of irrigation by the reclamation
service.
The committees report was complete
in covering their work since their ap-
pointment and was on the whole, very
encouraging. The report is summed up
in the statement that the committee is
fully convinced that the government
win irrigate all the land it can pos
sibly cover with high line ditch and
that it all depends on whether the
money win be made available for ac-
ton.
There are reasons which lead the
committee to believe that prospects are
exceedingly favorable for money from
Arrowrock surplus be made available
for this work and that the settlers
have every reason for encouragement.
The committee was continued in
their work and will report again Mt
any time they have information worth
while.

WILL ASK BOARD
TO PAY THE BILL
Salmon River Settlers Want
State to Pay Cost of
Litigation.

Settlers and land owners on the
Salmon river project want $4,000 Car
ey act funds to aid them in litigation
to bring about a definite settlement as
to the position of the state, the settlers.
and the bondholders with regard to
that project. Petitions have been cir
culated among the settlers and literally
signed. These petitions are addressed
to the members of the state land board.
The settlers feel they have gone to
the limit of their resources in the mat
ter of settling the difficulties that con-
front the project and they cannot af-
ford to spend any more money. They
believe that the state should shoulder
some of the responsibility in view of
the fact 1t is a Carey act project that
is involved and for that reason they are
preparing the petitions E. J. Horni-
brook, who recently addressed a letter
to the attorney general offering some
suggestions as to the solution for the
land board troubles, is back of the pc
tition campaign, it was learned here.
1t Is claimed that in view of the fact
that former land board gave out the
impression they would stand by the
project, the present board will make
the appropriation from the Carey act
fund and in this way place the settle
ment of the projects affairs in the
hands of the courts. The project has
been and still is involved in not n little
| litigation. The settlers and the bond
| holders have been unable to meet on
common ground with view of bring
| ing about a settlement. The bondhold-
ers say they have not abandoned hope
of harmonious agreement.
| Recently the state land board held a
meeting at HOLSTER with the settlers
at which time the affairs of the pro-
ject were quite generally aired and
members of the board are said to have
given the settlers to understand that
they will see them through theil
| troubles.

PROCRESSONROAD
TO YELLOWSTONE
Grew of Men at Work at
Present in the Tar
ghee Forest.

With the exception of the work to
be done in Jefferson and Bonneville
counties, the Boise Yellowstone auto
highway is practically completed as
far as the town of Ashton. This pro-
ject was initiated and approved two
years ago by the Idaho state highway
commission. and has been built by the
cooperative efforts of the state and
various counties and good roads as
sociations throughout southern Idaho.
This winter q crew of men is at
work on strip approximately 26 miles
in length crossing the Targhee Ma
tional forest beyond Ashton. The for
est service is furnishing six men, with
the necessary equipment, while the
Upper Snake River Valley Good Roads
association is supplying the food for
the crew and the powder used in the
work. At present the crew is working
at what is known as Bear gulch, on
the most difficult piece of construc-
ton found along the entire route
Within a distance of a quarter of a
mile it is necessary to move 500 yards
of solid rock and 500 yards of loose
rock.
The opening of this particular por-
ton of the road will make it possible
to construct a road the remainder OF
the way at a comparatively small cost
and it is expected to complete the
route through to the park within the
next two years This winters work
will also provide the settlers of the
isolated Henry's Lake valley with al
immediate outlet for their products.
The road is being built in q highly
substantial and satisfactory manner
with q maximum grade of eight pei
cent At all points it is sufficiently
wide to permit of two vehicles passing
without difficulty.

Not a Bite Of

and keeps us 1T.

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incombus-
tible material in the form of ashes. so
the food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentary canal a cer-
tain amount of indigestible material,
which If not completely eliminated
from the system each day. becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomain-
like poisons are formed and sucked in

Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath. backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from the
drug store and begin practicing inter-
nal sanitation. This will cost very lit

enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do. just
as soap and hot water cleanses, sweet
