shire, Maryland. New Jersey, Ne
braska and Montana, where the dele
cations are equally divided between
the two parties and thus. tied.
1t should be borne in mind, how
ever, that should Senator LaFollette
organize the third party the Wiscon-
sin delegation doubtless would vote as
he dictated and thus cut the Republi.
can states TO 30. This DETECTION
might cut into one of the other north
western states where the members are
elected as Republicans but wear their
party allegiance rather lightly.
The Democratic states, on the basis
of present divisions, are: =.
Alabama. Arizona, Arkansas, Della
ware, Florida, Georgia. Kentucky,
Louisiana. Mississippi, Missouri. Ne
vada. New Mexico, New York. North
Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia
The states nominally Republican
are:
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsyl.
yania, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Oregon. Washington,
Wyoming and Wisconsin.
Throw Election to Senate.
Assuming there would be no change
in the relative standing of these states
between now and the latter part of
next January and thence on to March
4, neither party would have the re-
CURED number of % states and a Pres
ident could not be elected.
In such event the man chosen vice
president, if there were such a one.
would be sworn in. as President on
March 4. In making the selection,
however, the Senate would not vote BY
states but as individuals, a clear ma.
jority, or 40 being necessary to cleo
ton. In that case there would not be
the complication of third candidate.
the Constitution STIMULATING that the
vote shall be between, the two. candi-
dates for vice president receiving the
highest number of votes.
This lis the contingency upon which
the Republicans are relying to elect
their man as President. There are
43 Democrats in the Sepate. 81 nomi-
nal Republicans and two Farmer-La-
Dor members. Among the Republicans
are six so-calledl Progressives who
were elected as Republicans but usual
ly vote with the Democrats. In all
contested measures they constitute the
balance of power for their loss leaves
the Republicans with but ~ votes and
when added to the Democrats, plus the
Farmer-Labor members, the minority
party casts 81 votes.
Cummins Would Go In.
Republican prognosticators. how.
ever, do not believe LaFollette could
lead his phalanx out of the party in
the election of a vice president. How
ever, if he cared to make the deadlock
complete. all that need be done would
be TO have the two Farmer-Labor SEN
ators and three of the progressives
vote with the Democrats and the elec-
ton wiuld be tied up as effectually as
in the House. In that event the pre-
siding officer of the Senate, Senator
Cummins of Iowa. who holds over,
would become President ad interim.
All this constitutes a slender reed
upon which to base party hopes but
it has been gravely advanced by some
of the Republicans as a probability.

Washington, d. C.. April 19.-P

Washington, ID. C., April 19.-Pooh-
pooling the probability that the
launching of third party in the
national political arena will throw the
election of a President into Congress
next winter, Democratic leaders in
Washington admit such contingency
is possible. The suggestion, advanced
by Republican, propagandists with the
idea of staving off the third party
movement, certainly has intriguing
possibilities, not the least of which is
that. carried to it's logical conclusion.
for the first time in history the SEN
ate and not the House of Representa-
zives would elec< the President.
This is due. to the fact that the
House, as now constituted. is without
power to elect a President, neither,
party having clear majority of all
the states. Thus, IN the event of
deadlock the man whom the Senate
would elect as vice president would be
inaugurated President on March 4,
1926. 11-..A ..t. - p.
Republicans Would Profit.
All this is highly speculative and
pre-supposes that neither the Demo-
Gratis nor the Republicans will have
the requisite 266 votes in the electoral
college to elect their candidates for
President and vice president. This
is on the assumption, advanced by the
Republicans, that the Democrats will
not profit by the split in the Re
publican party and that the final tab
ulation will show them short of the
required number; that the Republi-
cans will carry the North and East
and the third party the West. Then,
that the electors, being unable to cast
a majority vote for any set of can
didates. the election, under the Con-
stitution the election will go to the
two houses of Congress, the House Sc
]ecting the President and the Senate
the vice president.
The Constitution provides that il
the electoral college fails to act, the
House, selecting the three highest can
didates. shall proceed Immediately to
the selection of the President. Each
state shall have but one vote and the
man elected must receive the votes of
n clear majority of all the states. In
this case that would mean twenty-five,
votes as there ARE forty-eight states.
1t is assumed. of course, that where
a majority of the House members from
a given state are Democrats that such
state would cast its one vote for the
Democratic candidate and where the
majority are Republicans the candi-
date of that: party would be favored.
Would Cause Deadlock"
Under those circumstances the
House, as now constituted, could not
cast a majority vote for either the
Republican or Democratic nominee.
On the basis Of majority representa-
ton there are twenty Democratic
states with five of them, New Hamp-
