One need only go back to 1916 10
see how delicate is the present sltua
ton. In that year the electoral college
stood 277 for Wilson and 2o4 1ol
Hughes. A third party candidate con
trolling, for example, the IL electoral
votes of California, would have thrown
the election into the House. How many
electoral votes La Toilette will control
as a result OF the coming election Is
something for political writer's TO 1ls'

two dominant parties to consider SGT i"

La Toilette supporters are claiming
he will carry between eight and sixteen
states. If he carries only Wisconsin
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dako

from winning the necessary majority
of 266 electoral votes necessary TO

in the House in February. A deadlock
is quite on the cards-a repetition OF
the Democratic National Convention
perhaps, until March 4, 1925. At that
time the new House comes into being
but The New House Has Nothing To Do
With The Choice OF A President.
In the event of deadlock until the
disintegration of the present House the
duty would pass to the Senate and here
il must be remembered that The SEN
ate Votes Only For The Vice-President
And Not For The President. II the
country stands without a President
then the Office being vacant, must be
filled by the man chosen as Vice-Presl'
dent by the Senate.
At this point we read another eliml'
nation. The Senate is limited TO vote
for the two highest candidates, So the
Likelihood is the choice would lie be-
tween General Dawes ard Governor
Bryan.

HOW HOUSE VOTES.

Here is where the election machin-
cry takes on different color. There is
10 voting by individuals in The House.
Moreover. each state has only one vote
Rhode Islands vote equals that of New
York The vote Of each state is determ
med by a majority Of the Congression-
al Representatives in that state. TEfs
MONT grasped let it aforementioned that
the ''BlOes" in several delegations hold
the balance of power. Thus the Ia Fol
lette-Wheeler candidacy becomes some
thing 10 be reckoned with.
Anyone familiar with the line up in
the House last year can see how likely
il is that neither Davis nor Coolidge
world be able to obtain a majority vote

for their candidates. The votes Will
then be sent by messenger to the presi
dent of the Senate in Washington,
They will he counted on the second
Wednesday in February before the
joint session OF the House and Senate.
Then the result will be annoalnced.
If no candidate has majority-two
hundred and sixty-six yotes-then the
House of Representatives must mined
lately conyent for the purpose of chos
ing a President. The choice being limit
ed to the three highest candidates
would mean that the House would have
only the option of choosing one, either
Davis, Coolidge or La Toilette.

Electoral Majority is Not Won
(By Edward Percy HowardD

Fancy q conservative newspaper pub
fishing on its first page story 10 the
effect that neither Coolidge nor Davis
nor La Toilette will be elected PreS'-
dent of the United States in November
At first glance such a statement might
seem outside the realm of possibility,
hut the political situation is complex
and the election machinery such that
il does not require much Imagination
10 foresee the possibility, IL not the
probability. of such a situation. Al
most anything may happen in Noven'-
Der.
There are 531 votes in the Electoral
College. The electoral college is com
posed Of ele, Ilrs from each state, equal
in number 10 tie lumber or Senators
and REPRESENTATIVES, co which the state
is entitled. For example New iorh
state mas TWO Senators and 43 Repre-
sentatives. Therefore, New York mas
forty-fiye votes in the electoral college.

college equals the total membership On

CHAPTER v
Arrows of the River Gods.

Arrows Of the River Gods.
The Rev. Caleb Hopkins was at the
boat landing in good time next morn
ing.
The others were already there, sit
ting in the long skiff, Uncle Nick in
the stern, Jack Warhope and AL Coun-
terman at the oars, the latter still
holding the boat to the wharf
In his nervous and mincing way the
preacher scrambled in; Counterman
showed off; the oars dropped into the
water; and, with the seine coiled up
on the stern locker under the expert
enced care of Uncle Nick, the live box
towing behind, the skiff slipped away
up the river toward Alpine island.
Alpine island divides the Wabash
into two nearly equal channels. The
skiff was guided into the north chan
mel, and had glanced along nearly to
the head of the island when Counter
man rested his oars with the remark
that just there would be good place
to make the first haul.
The skiff was accordingly turned In
to the island, and the prov drawn up
on the sandy margin. Each man.
Uncle Nick excepted, hurriedly I'M
dressed, stacked his clothes in the
boat and drew on his rough fishing
garments.
In strict justice to the truth it must
be stated that only Counterman and
the woodsman hurriedly undressed.
The preacher was far slower and
quite noticeably embarrassed over the
unusual experience. The ragged boots
too large, the shabby trousers too
tight, the faded straw hat ridiculously
unbecoming, it was the queerest wad-
ing rig ever seen along the Wabash.
The others eyed it askance and
winked around at one another. Even

like hot copper as he wrung his hand.
He cursed the pain; swallowed hard /;
finally muttered.
1.-THE light werdn't none too darn'
good. low | must a."
The woodsman dropped the others
collar, talked a moment or so with
Uncle Nick and Counterman about the
SEEMING trip next day-the matter that
had brought him into the store-and
passed out at the door. The crowd
gathered around Belden.
Uncle Nick picked up the broken
pistol and stuck it back, muttering as
he examined the gashed hand.
"Y'u ort "a had more sense than L
pull on him. He amt no ways spry
on talk, but he can pick hick'ry nuts
with a six-gun."

What Are Pan Fish?

The term pan fish is many times
misinterpreted. Some seem to think
that this includes only an inferior sort
of species, and others that it is mere
ly term applicable to most any fish
which happens to be taken and which
is edible. The true pan fish is COM
posed of small but game dweIlers of
the singing waters of brooks, creeks
ard rivers, and the shore lines Of the
lakes Bream (bluegill or sunfish).
rock bass, yellow perch, ringed perch
and the horny club, or dace are all
part and parcel of the parrish tribe.

the preacher himself must have
caught something of the humor of the
odd makeup, for his studiously cir
cumspect face relaxed into a sugges-
tion of grin.
After a mild bit of urging, prodi-
gious deal Of coaching, he was left
near shore to hold the brazil stick while
Jack and Counterman rowed out
around as great an expanse Of water
as the length of the seine permitted.
On nearing the shore at the compile
ton of the circuit, the two rowers
leaped into the water the moment II
was shallow enough. leaving the boat
to Uncle Nick, and raced for the bank
at top speed, holding the brazil stick to
the bottom as they ran.
With the frantic river tribes thus
forced to shore, the water began to be
wildly agitated. Long ripples shot
from side to side of the rapidly dImin-
lshing space inclosed by the net. as
some panlc-stricken swimmer plowed
his reckless way near the surface.
Even the preachers tired and studi-
Gus eyes walked with the excitement,
and he tugged eagerly at the brazil as
the bass and pickerel began to leap,
gllttering in the morning ssn like sill
yer arrows shot up by the river gods
THAR, boys, haul 'er easy" directed
Counterman. 1--WE got 'em. They

Highly Flattered.

The vicar of parish in the west of
England fell Ill one Saturday afternoon
and certain famous canon who
happened to be staying in the neigh
borhood consented to conduct the serv-
ices on Sunday.
AT the close of evening service the
church wardens assembled in the
vestry to thank him.
Its very kind of you, we'm sure,
SIR said one OF them. "a much worser
man than you would have done for
We, but we couldn't find one"
