At a recent annual meeting of the
Ohio Poster Advertising Association,
held at Columbus, Ohio, two citizens
of Butler county were elected to the
board of directors, namely, Mr..
Charles Rettig, of Middletown, and
William NJ Goodwin, of Hamilton.
"Bill' Goodwin for the past two
years has been president of the asso-
ciation, which is the limit of time
that one can serve as. president under
the constitution of the association.
He was also elected as delegate to
the National Poster Advertising AS
sociation convention to be held at
Kansas City, Mo-, in October, and will
represent the poster men of Ohio at
the national convention of the Adver-
tising Clubs of the World in London,
England, this coming summer.
With all the write-ups on outdoor
signs that some of the newspapers
have seen fit to print lately, from
their numbers it looks as though
there might be an attempt to elimi-
nate competitor from the field,
rather than an honest effort to inn
prove. "Bill" states that very little
of the matter is truth, and great
amount of it is based upon the fact
that the companies named in the
articles have taken from off the right
Of way within the boundaries of the
state highways small signs that
never should have been placed upon
them in the first place.
The association to which Goodwin
belongs has long been against such
advertising, and was behind a move
ment to eliminate it from the public
highways in this state, and which, as
is we'll known, has been accomplished
in Ohio.
Goodwin says his association is in
terested in but one class of outdoor
advertising, and that is poster adver-

RESTRICTED PREDICTION

New York, In his annual report
President, Shoup of the Pacific oil
company states that the management
"deemed it prudent" to restrict pro-
duction during the past year. This
sabotaging did not affect profits, as a
surplus of $1,938,111 after the pay
ment of $7,OOO,OOO in cash dividends
is reported.

product, his facilities, his available
funds, or some other factor, makes
his success doubtful.

WHICH DO YOU PREFER, FINANCIAL
kEGE. Or pNLlLLCAL L-NRE&I2

WHICH DO YOU PREFER, FINANCIAL
REST, OR POLITICAL UNREST?
YAM not silly to suppose that | can
\ call myself a doctor for either financial
L. Affections or deep political cancers, but
| so often asked how shall vote in the
November election, that | may excuse my
self by saying what | cannot afford to vote
for on the rapidly approaching fourth of No
yember. From Monday, October s, TO No
yember is barely four weeks off. 1t will
be here in due time and is bound to appear
in furry Of hot political fury when it ar
rives.
First-Respect for my own conscience
will not allow me to assist in electing any
representative who is not sufficiently quail
fled to know how to vote as my representa-
tive in Georgia in Washington. If he
must obey any secret political organization
as the price Of his own election he is not fit
to represent himself or anybody that seeks
d representative for that upright purpose.
Georgia is on the down grade and not far
from the bottom, when candidates must put
on yoke of servitude to get the position,
and | think any person who surrenders his
own liberty to act as a representative also
sulrenders his own self-respect and is thus
disqualified, mentally and morally, for any
official position.
I may be misled, or kept ignorant of such
alliance with cOnspiratOrs who seek to car
ry out improper legislation, but when l
see the facts, get the facts from reliable
parties, l certainly will never cast vote for
such a misft
The New Jersey Democrats have put it
down in plain language: eve condemn the
Ku KuX Khan, an organization formed to set
at naught the liberties guaranteed by the
Constitution to every citizen" etc, etc. AS
Torrysm was condemned in the Revolution
airy war the people Of this country will give
these secret organizers the rewards they de-
serve.
Second-Opposed as I have always been
to participation in foreign wars, allies
helpers, | do not propose to vote for any
candidate who voted for the Versailles
League Of Nations, or who seems likely to
vote again if the opportunity offers in the
congress of the United States, for another
league with nations.
We c0nscripted millions of American men,
the young men preferably, and 10000 are
buried in France who We're forced to the bat
tie front and sacrificed, and | shall never
be found in the ranks of those who voted
this CONSUMPTION and are probably being now
selected to do the same thing for the second
time.
What we need in republic is good bust
ness, where good living can be had, and
with some to spare The billions of money
be remembered by those whose money was
also conscripted for that purpose.
We need financial rest and minding our
own business, and relief from dema9Ogues
in office. The lust for office has made it
easy for such demagogues to get such posi-
tons provided they bind themselves hand
and foot to obey these consprators who
have fritted this republic into a fury of po-
litical unrest

candidates for president and neither of
them receives a majority Of the cleo
toral college vote Assuming that the
electoral college will be tied up, it is
not improbable that some electors will
be found unworthy and vote contrary
to what his people want. Going into
history of the electoral colleges activi-
ties we find that in 1872 Eldridge
Gerry, governor of Massachusetts, re-
ceived more electoral votes for vice
president than Madison received for
president In 1920. Monroe vas elected
president by 231 votes, while Daniel
Tompkins was made vice president by
21S votes. A quaint variation in the
orthodox political fealty of electors, as
we have developed and safeguarded it,
occurred in that year, New Hampshire
elector, selected at the polls, kicking
over the traces and voting for John
Quincy Adams, on the ground that it
was due the memory of Washington
that no subsequent president should re-
ceive a unanimous vote. In 1928 Jack
son got ITS votes in the electoral col
lege, Calhoun was reelected vice presi-
dent by I'll votes. In 1892, when for
the first time all presidential candidates
were nominated by national Conventions
Jackson got 219 votes for president
out of the total of 294, while for vice
president Van Buren, received 1873
votes, majority, but thirty less than
the vote for president.
"These statistical variations are sig
nifcant revealing the possibilities or
defections. In 1886, when Van Buren,
was elected president by 40 electoral
votes, the electoral college failed to
elect a vice president at all, and the
United States senate Gas provided for in
the Constitution made the choice, elect
ing Richard M. Johnson to that office
1t will help to clarity the seeming con-

now conceivable following the coming
election in November, 1924, to note
that all the foregoing citations are not
Irregularities, but were and are clearly
within the privilege of electors, under
the Constitution. In regard to them it
has not been changed in 100 years"
The electoral college will meet in thi
coming January, following the Noyembe
election, and it could, if majority so dc
sired, utterly disregard the verdict of tn
people as expressed at the polls and cleo
a president and vice president of it's ow
choosing. OF course nothing of the kind
likely to happen, but happen it could unde
plan by which our pres
dents and vice presidents are chosen.

FREQUENT RAILROAD AND AUTOMO-

These accidents should be prevented by
creating underpasses or overhead bridges for
railroad crossings. Public patience is al
ready fatgued with it's long endurance,
also fatigued with indignation that human
life has become so cheap. No matter what
it costs there should be careful methods
used at railroad crossings employed for pre-
ventiOn of such disasters.
What automobiles do for themselves and
on the highways for unhappy foot passen-
gers is another question also to be settled,
but it goes without saying that railroads
should never be allowed the opportunity to
kill so many human beings when such ele-
waited crossings would make it impossible to
collide with human beings in front of the

The Electoral COLLEGE,

TT for no other reason than that it serves
to revive interest in an important funda-
mental of our national government, even
though it may fail to arouse the conscience
of all the people about great economic ques-
tons, it is fortunate that We have a presi-
Dental election every four years. The ig
norance and transformation that obtains all
over the country about this most important
popular prerogative of choosing a president
are astonishing Relatively few people ap-
parently know anything about the electoral
college and it's functions, and still fewer
have any information as to how the electors
are chosen as instance the widespread sur
prise that has been registered because La
Follette's name has been excluded from the
ballot in certain states.
Although presidential elections are nation
al in their scope and effect, the federal gov
eminent has no voice whatever in the man
ner by which presidential electors are
named. That function is controlled exclusive
\
ince of any state legislature legally to
choose presidential electors without refer
ence to the popular will. Popular choice
however, has the sanction of custom, and
that usually is stronger than law. No egis-
lature would dare interfere with the long
established custom.
hon nh t1Iry-
the Pensacola Journal commenting on the
electoral college, popular vote for electors
was not practced generally, and although
early in the nineteenth century, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee
and Virginia chose their electors as we do
now, the other states followed literally the
wording of the Constitution and appointed
theirs.
SIN 1928 South Carolina still chose cleo
tors by legislative ballot. In 1876, the year
which sent duplicate and conflicting records
of electoral voting from four states, the
choice of electors in Colorado was made by
ton of electors there is no constitutional
provision for the popular method we have
adopted 1t has the sanction of custom,
however, to give it strength"
The custom under which in every state
presidential electors are now chosen by pop
ular vote has, of course, been legalized by
the legislatures of the several states, but
there is nothing to prevent the legislatures
from repeating these laws at will and re-
storing the old method of appointing the
electors themselves. But that will never be
cone.
1t is frequently asked whether a presiden,
tial elector is bound to respect irrevocably
the expression of the people from whom he
receives his commission at the polls. The
answer is no. An elector may vote as he
peases in the electoral college, He may
have been chosen as a Republican, a Demo-
crat or an independent elector but in the
college he can cast his ballot for whomsoever
he pleases and his vote cannot be challenged.
1t stands.
Concerning the rights of electors to use
their own discretion, the Pensacola Journal
comments further:
