my Judgment there is an increasing

There is one thing which seems
to me somewhat wrong with modern
society and that is in the way we
treat the housewife and mother. We
teach in our home economies classes
our young people TO become good
cooks. how to wash and how to scrub

President Not
Elected?-The
Results of 1t

Washington, Oct. e% CA. p. -
| Should American voters, as some
people predict, show such a diversity
of preference at the polls Tuesday
November 4. that, after the final
count of ballots. no presidential cam
didate will be able to muster ma
/ jority in the Electoral College, the
| House Of Representatives will be
called upon for the third time i'll his
| tory to select chief executive.
The two occasions the House has
been called upon to make the presi-
| Dental selection were in 1900. when
Thomas jefferson was chosen, and in
1924 when John Quincy Adams was
elected after a spirited contest. And.
to carry possibility a step farther,
should the House fail to make n Sc
lection before next March 4, the vice
president, whom the Senate would
be called upon to elect in the event
of deadlock in the Electoral COL
lege, would automatically become
president.
The constitution provides that the
House make its selection from the
/ candidates receiving the three high
est votes in the college. and that
the Senate choose a vice president
from the two having the highest
| number Of votes in the college.
Those who contend that the cleo
| ton of a president will be forced
upon the House point out that the
representation in that branch of Con-
Eress makes it possible for the vice.
presidential choice of the Senate TO
become president.
| The present Congress. ithe sixty
| eighth, will be the Congress to decide
| the election should it become ncces-
' sary. In the balloting for president
in the House. each state is entitled
| to one vote. this vote to be cast ac-
\ Cordng to the will of the ma jority
| of representatives of each state.
| Should all state delegations follow
party lines. the division in the House
| would be as follows:
Five states. Maryland. Montana.
/ Nebraska. New Hampshire and New
Jersey, have equally divided delcga-
! tons.
| Republican states. not including
Wisconsin. whose delegation is un
derstood To favor the cause of the

! Maine, Michigan. Minnesota, Oregon,

are Alabama. Arizona, Arkansas,
| Delaware, Florida, Georgia. Ken

| Necessary for the choice OF a
/ president in the House is a vote of
20 states. 1t is argued that if repre- :
sentatives vote according to party
affiliations, deadlock would be sure
| to ensue.
! In the Senate, in balloting for vice

! huh,ner OF Senators is necessary for
a choice. and there the balance of

The London borough which had
reported up to l o'clock this morning
gave indications that The capital, like
the lesser cities. was coming back
into the Conservative fold.
The heaviest swing to Conservatism
in the early returns came from the
Industrial north and the midlandS.
The Conservatives captured seven of
the ten Manchester seats. only one If
which they occupied in the last par
lament. They scored further
triumphs in Newcastle. Northamp-
ton. Nottingham and other great
manufacturing centers in London
and its suburbs.
The party made still further gains
in many places, and where the La
borites held seats in some consti-
tuencics they did so with decreased
majorities. while the trend back 10
ToryiSm was marked with heavier

The Liberals lost all along the
line. Manchester and Liverpool
turned strongly from them TO the
Conservative fold. while l.abo"itcs
ousted other Liberals: Herbert IL
Asquith included.

mcnt, acting as parliamentary sccre-
tary for the ministry of labor since
