Election Supervisors Must Drop
The Lowest Candidate.

An interesting point in connection with
the second choice provision Of the Direct
Primary law has been made by jerome T.
Hayman. of Wicomico county. Md. He
ssid that most people had overlooked the
fact that candidate must have majority
Of the votes cast in county or a leeis-
lative district in order to obtain the dele
gates from the county or district. In case
no candidate has a majority the Election
Supervisors. acting as a board of canvass
ers, must drop the low man and give his
ballots to the candidate for whom they
were cast for second choice.
To illustrate If. in Wicomico county,
Senator Lee received 400 votes. Mr.. Lewis
$50 and Mr.. Bruce 400, there would have
been cast 1,l50 and none of the candidates
would have received majority. Mr. Lewis.
being the low man in this hypothetical
case. would be dropped. II all his $50
votes were for Senator Lee as the second
choice. they would be given to him and he
would have $50. or majority. The same
would be true II they we're for Mr.. Bruce
as second. If they were divided as to sec
ond choice, say $50 for Senator Lee and
200 for Mr.. Bruce. they would be cast in
the second choice count in that way.
Most people have been under the i'm.
preston that the second choice provision
Of the law had only to do with the dele.
gates when they assembled in convention
II no candidate has majority of the dele.
gates. the low man drops out and his dele.
gates 60 to the other candidates according
as they are instructed for second choice.

lar will. In these days the expressed judy
ment of the people at the bolIot box is the
law, and only did what defeated can

first take some herself. She therefore
took the bottle which she thought con-
tanned the medicine, but which in real
ity contained Vapo- Cresoline, poison
Gus disinfectant which had been used in
the home when the children had the
measles, and took spoonful in her
mouth. She instantly realized that she
had made mistake and spat the most
of the drug out. although she swal-
lowed small portion of it, and various
antidotes. supplemented by the use of a
stomach pump in the hands of physi-
clan, saved her from serious conse-
quences. Had she first given the medi-
cine to the little one it would very like

TEW romances have ever attracted
more widespread interest than
that in which Madeleine Force
Astor, the rich and beautiful young widow
of Colonel John Jacob Astor. became the
wife of William Is. Dick, the Brooklyn
millionaire.
This interest is only natural, in view
OF the brides wealth and social position,
and Of the publicity she received through
the tragic ending which came to her first
romance when the steamship Titanic
went Town. And il acquires added zcst
from the fact that to claim her childhood
sweetheart for her second husband she
mas had 10 sacrifice a large part OF the
wealth which came TO her nj Colonel
Astor's death.
Then. 100, her second marriage has
been beset With difficulties so similar 10
those which her first encountered as 10
constitute Il most remarkable coincidence.
Her first marriage was solemniZed
in defiance OF the laws OF the church.
Bishops and priests Of all the leading
denominations refused TO sanction it on
account OF Colonel .Astor's previous
divorce. AS a result the wedding had to
be postponed FROM day 10 day While =
nationwide search was made for a clergy
man careless enough of the opinion OF
the church to perform the ceremony.
n path that has led Mrs. Aston 10
the altar a second time was only a little
less difficult. Ii is said that her mother
strongly opposed the marriage to Mr..
Dick. holding that the stern terms of
Colonel Astor's will imposed altogether
loo high a price 10 pay for even so rich
and in every way desirable "A husband.
Better a lifelong widowhood than 10
sacrifice the wealth and social prestige
your marriage TO Colonel Aston brought"
This Was the burden Of the argument
with which the ambitious mother assailed
her daughter. But Mrs. Astor's heart
was too surely won and Mrs. Force finally
had 10 give her reluctant consent to the
marriage.
THIS time there was no ground for
opposition on the part OF the church.
Mrs. Astor, with painful recollections Of
me unpleasantness which had marred
her hrst wedding day. superintended the
arrangements for the second
herseif and tondly hoped that j, would
20 OH without a hitch. She mad rcckoned
however, without due considora,jo, TO-
