DEATH NAY
AFFECT THE
PRESIDENCY
If Colts Successor Is Demo-
crat, G, 0, P, Ranks
viii Be Reduced.
BY FRANK ]. TAYLOR.

HE death Of United States
Senator L. B. Colt of Rhode
III Island adds materially to the
uncertainty as to who will be the
next President Of the United States.
Colt was a Republican, one of the
old guard. Rhode Island law says
that the Governor must call an cleo
ton to name successor to fill the
unexpired term. He cannot appoint
q successor.
Rhode Island now has a Demo
cratic State administration. The
States other United States Senator
is a Democrat. Under the circum-
stances, the Democrats think they
have more than fifty-ffty chance
to capture Colts seat.
That is Of more than passing i'm
portance in politics because the Sen
ate may actually elect the next
President Of the United States. The
lineup between the parties in the
Senate is so close that a vote or
two makes a great difference.
Vice President Named
The Senate can not name a Presi-
dent, but it does choose the Vice
President. when at an election no
candidate gets a majority of the
electoral votes. Then, if the House
deadlocks on President, as between
three candidates, the Vice President
named by the Senate automatically
becomes President, on March 4, 1925.
To make this puzzllng CON
stitutional question clear, take a
hypothetical case. Suppose that at
the election next November, La
Toilette ran first. Davis second. and
Coolidge third. for the presidency.
but not one Of them secured a ma
jority Of the 531 electoral votes.
When Congress meets this De
cember, the House would try to
choose from the three highest can
didates a President to serve after
March 4. when Coolidges term ex-
pires. Congressman would not vote
as individuals. but each State would
have one vote dictated by the ma
Jorlty of its congressman and a ma
,crlty OF the forty-eight States. or
twenty-five would be required.

1t is quite possible that the party
