HERE'S HOW SITUATION WILL BE
HANDLED If THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION GOES INTO CONGRESS

choice If no president is elected
bv either the electoral college or
1 the House before the expiration of
/ the current presidential term on the
fourth of March following, and if
a president should be elected
4 bv that time, as j. A. Woodburn
notes in tThe American Republic
and It's Government, the constitu-
! tion provides that this vice-presi-
dent shall become president until
an election of president is ac-
complished. Il neither president
nor vice-president be elected by
March 4, he tells us, the conStitu
tion does not indicate who shall act
rs president, and nobody is vested
with power to determine the ques-
ton. There would be an interreg-
mum, unless the existing president
and vice president should resign
before the close of their term, in
which case, by the provisions of the
presidential succession bill, the sec
rotary of state would act as presi-
| dent until an election be made. The
cons tuition should provide, he adds,
/ that an existing president should
hold office until his successor be
elected.
What Happened in 1900
A presidential election has been
referred to the vote of the house
! of representatives on two occasions
1onO .rbov Uaffo,ea,, 1,roc fret
elected; and in 1924, when John
Quincy Adams was elected. The
contest in 1900 between jefferson
and Burr resulted in the adoption
of the twelfth amendment TO the
constitution. Before the adoption
of this amendment the electors vot-
ed for two candidates for president.
! The candidate receiving the most
votes was made president and the
candidate receiving the next high
(, est number of votes was made vice
president. This election of 1900 IS
notable also for the fact that then
members of the electoral college
voted by parties for the first time.
/ jefferson and Burr, writes X. Ii.
| Fuller in "Government by the Peo-
ple.'' each received 73 votes, the
! full strength of the Democratic
Republicans. Adams received 65
votes, this authority relates, and
Pinekney 81, one federalist eleetor
voting for John Jay so that Adams
might have one more vote than
Pinckney and thus he entitled TO |
the presidency if the federalists !
should win. The Demoeratie-Re-
pubhcans had not taken this pre-
caution, we are told, and therefore
there was tie vote between their
two candidates, jefferson and Burr
to the vice presidency. Because OF
this tie, the election was thrown
into the house of representatives,
where, after SO ballots, ten states
voted for Jefferson and four for
Burr.

Germany Buys
1900 Cases OF
Valley Honey

Germany is to have the privilege
of slipping Imperial Valley honey,
as 1900 cases of the toothsome pro-
duct were recently purchased below
the line by San Diego buyer
with instructions that it be billed
bv steamer direct from San Diego
to Hamburg, Germany.
Most of the honey is the pro-
duet of bees operating among the
thousands of acres of cotton blooms,
and this honey usually brings big
ger price because of its high degree
of sweetness. However, the desert
sage honey is highly regarded by
many and is produced in great album
dance wherever there are desert
stretches.

TO BUILD YOUNG TEAM
American Legion Backs Us
in Base Ball for the Com
ing Season.

The American Legion is back Of
a mighty good plan and the sue
cess of it will mean that Eagle
River will soon enter in the base
ball tournament with a young
blood outfit that will brook no
back seat.
At a meeting held Sunday the
Legion and fans concluded the one
best bet was the building UP Of
team of ball players from the
young blood in the village who
are hoping they can be made IN
to real players if given the oppor-
tunity and the instruction neces-
sary. For many seasons this has
been thought of, but somehow no
one started the move, possibly IN
fear of being laughed at. The
size Of Eagle River and the terri
tory surrounding, we are elimin-
ated from having a full-pay team
one that can compete in honors
with cities VINO are spending thou
sands Of dollars annually for out
side players. For some years past
we have been trying to win from
those teams with their imported
men, and that has been shown to
have been an impossibility.
If, by the building of a young
team we can secure games with
snappy outside teams, then we
have made something for the fu-
ture years. This isn't casting any
reflection upon those old-time
boys who have been giving their
time and energy toward keeping
a team together in the village
without any remuneration, and
who have DOTTED their working
clothes and put on uniform for
the entertainment of fans who
failed to interpret the fact that
somebody must grow old and not
have the. pep of former years. The
old players have stood for a lot
of abuse because they were not
of the calibre they were when
they entered baseball in the viii
lage some score of years ago. Then
when some salaried ball team from
the nearby cities stepped in and
walloped the ground with our
home players; how the bowls went
up because we did not win.
The Legion will undoubtedly
have the older team in evidence
many times this summer, and that
will give us two teams instead of
one, and somehow, somewhere we
will be again placed in the big
time stuff. The plan as advanced
by the American Legion will of a
certainty be a success, and should
be supported by every fan.
At meeting last night A. H.
LaRenzie was elected manager and
treasurer, and Richard White, sec
rotary of the baseball club.
An athletic committee elected
with the following members: Ed
Paul, A. H. LaRenzie, Herm EngIe-
stead, Timothy Elm.
A captain of the team will be
elected after the team is organic
ed.

Last Friday evening in the local
high school gymnasium, that clean
bunch Of boys constituting the
Three Lakes high school basket
ball team defeated the local high
by a score of 80 to 6. The game
was clean, there being not a single
foul called on either side during
the entire 40 minutes of play This
was the first game that the local
team ever played, and due to the
fact that there is but one senior
on the team, with already good
start for next year, with more
practice, and actual playing ex-
perience, it is easy to claim a good
basket ball team for this town the
coming year.
The twenty minutes preliminary
game between the girls resulted
in 10 to 10 tie.

gentlemanly actions and appear

cept another position in Milwau-
kee. During her stay here she
has made friends with every one
whom she has met She was al
ways active in both church and
social work and will be greatly
missed.
The evenings fun began at
about 8 o'clock when the entire
crowd settled down to five hun
dred. This game held the gather
ing for about an hour, when time
was called to decide the winners
of the contest. After this a short
program was given with songs
from Miss Mccormick and read
ings by Miss Hougan. Miss Gro
foot accompanied on the piano for
both these ladies and their pro-
gram was enjoyed. The commun-
