Some people ask the question if
| this country will be without a presi-
dent March 4, 1917. The law Of sue
cession In the presidency states that
where. through the inability of the
president and vice president to fill
the office, or where no president or
vice president shall have been elect
| ed, the office goes to the secretary of
state until such time as the presi-
dent or vice president shall be able
to assume such duties. In 1917, in
augural day coming on Sunday will
create vacancy in the offices named
at midnight of March 3, until some
time after noon on March 5. when
the president-elect will take the oath
Of Office. During this interim the
secretary Of state will be nominally
the president. Now, you fellows who
bet that Woodrow Wilson would be
the next president Of the United
States, do you win or lose?
