PRESIDENTIAL POINTS

The presidential election OF
1916 will take place on Tuesday
November Z. when the qualified
voters of each state will cast
their ballots for electors equal
to the number Of senators and
representatives in congress.
But no senator nor represent
tatlve nor person holding an
office of profit or trust under the
United States, can be an elector.
The whole number of electors
is 521.
At the beginning of our govern
ment most OF the electors were
chosen by the legislatures OF
their respective states, the peo-
pie having no direct participa-
tion in their choice; and one
state, South Carolina, continued
that method till the outbreak oil

THE REFERENDUM AND
RECALL.

From them Boston Herald.
Maine and Mississippi have
very few things in common, but
they have mutually made the
discovery that swallowing the
referendum cure-aIl sometimes
brings results that are worse
than the disease. While the
interests" in Maine have invoked
the referendum to thwart the
will of "the people" for nearly
two years in the case of a fifty
four hour law, something of the
same sort is happening in Miss
issippf which likewise welcomed
the referendum few years ago
as a bulwark that would protect
"the rule Of the people" from all
assaults, The complaint comes
from that state that nearly every
law passed by the legislature has
it's enemies, and if The enemies
happen to have money it is easy
for them to get signers to- petit
ions which force the state to
have an election to see whether
the law that the legislature has
passed shall 60 into force. All
that means the delay that the
enemies of the law desire and 1T
means an expense that the state
is already getting tired OF pay
ing, Often apparently it means
the defeat of good laws for the
enemies of a law are active at
the polls and its friends may
lack leadership money and ener-
gy. How long gbeiore the states
that have experimental with the
referendum will be asked to do
away with it on the ground that
it is a tool of the "bosses" and
the Interests" and so interferes
with "the rule Of the people?
