dent of the United States Senate. The
electoral votes are opened and counted
on the second Wednesday in February
in the presence of members of both
branches OF Congress. The result is
announced by the President of the
Senate
If there is no election. the Senate
would proceed to elect a Vice-Presi-
dent and the House q President, as
was done in the case of Thomas JEFF
ferson, of Virginia, and Aaron Burr,
of New York. in 1901, and Andrew
Jackson, of Tennessee. and John c..
Calhoun, of South Carolina, in 1926.
As 1t Was in 1925
In 1925 the report of the electoral
college showed that Andrew Jackson
had received 80 votes, John Quincy
Adams, of Massac chusetts, S4; William
II. Crawford of Georgia; Al, and
Henry Clay. of Kentucky, 81. The
House and Senate met in joint assem-
bly, and heard the report of the cleo
toral college and the President of the
Senate announced that neither of the
said persons having received q ma
jority of the votes of the electors ap-
pointed by the several states to vote
for President of the United States. IL
therefore devolved upon the House of
Representatives to choose a President
from the three highest of those on the
list.
In case the report of the electoral
college shows no election this year, the
House and Senate will meet, receive
the votes and then separate and pro-
ceed to elect a President and Vice
President

SO Phone Calls a Minute
For Results of Election

Fifty calls minute. or almost one
each second, from o'clock yesterday
morning until midnight, were made
by telephone to the offices of city
newspapers, and according to figures
given out to-day by the two local
telephone companies, at least $4,000
calls were made by persons who
wanted to get the results of tho Presi-
dental election returns.
Twenty-Five direct lines to these Of
fees were kept busy every second of
the day. The hourly average of calls
for the day was 1926 and the tele-
phone companies were compelled to
Keep the larger part of their en-
ployes working overtime to handle the
tremendous increase. 1t is estimated
that the number of calls increased be-
tween 55 to so per cent. above the
normal number in the city alone.
AT the Bell Telephone company to-
day 1t was announced that $4,000 calls
were answered between yesterday
morning and midnight and that O.OOO
or more of these calls were made to
the newspapers for election returns.
AT the Cumberland Valley Office
a large number of calls were made
Also some of them coming in from
outlying districts. The estimated
number for election returns exceeds
10000.
To-day the phones were busy
again. but the number of calls did
not reach totals like those of yester-
day.
