Washington, Nov. 9.-Government

tiers that contests might be expected,
with a possibility of legal proceed
ings over the vote for presidential
electors in several of the close states
Examinations of decisions OF the
supreme court and of revised statutes
disclosed that electors are plainly
regarded as state officers. The high
est court has held in two leading
cases that the question Of their prop
er or. improper election is for state
election officials or state courts 10
determine, and that the federal
courts are not lawfully concerned
even if fraud is shown.
When congress meets to receive the
vote, it is still possible for the ma
jority to reverse the certified results
from any state in certain cases, as
the votes are read to the joint SEES

any member of either house to Cd

When only one return has been
made from state. congress can not
overturn the certified result, except
the two houses, concurrently, may re,
ject any vote where it appears not
to have been given by the properly
chosen electors. Where more than
one certificate has been sent, the vote
of those electors who the two houses
decide concurrently shall have been
supported in the contest by the proper
state authorities, shall be received
and accredited.
