WASHINGTON, August 12.-
(By Associated Press.)-As always
happenns when more than two out
standing presidential nominees ars
in the running political dopesters
again are figuring over the possi--
bilities of deadlock in the Elec-
toral College this year and speculat
ing whether in that event the House
or the Senate finally would decide
who should become president.
There are many ifs and ands in
these calculations and the dopest-
ers Themselves are not forgetful
of the fact that only twice in the
country's history-in 1900 and
1824-was the College Of Electors
unable to make choice. And On
those occasions the issues were set.
tied in the House without difficulty.
Nevertheless, the figuring goes
on as Coolidge, Davis and La Fol
lette begin warming up for their
three-cornered campaign, and some
Of the prognosticators even ad-
vance the theory that all three may
fail of election. That point in the
complicated skein Of theorizing is
arrived at in this fashion:
Should no presidential nominee
receive a clear majority of the 531
votes in the Electoral College the
House would be called upon to Sc
lect a president from the three can
didates receiving the highest num-
Der of votes in the college, and the
Senate would be directed to choose

that if, after counting the electoral

SFABOARD WANTS TO
: TAKE OFF SHOO FLY.
Valuable Trade Train Between
Helena and Columbus May
, soon Be Discontinued


Attorneys representing the Sea
,,ord Air Line have filed a petition
18th the railroad commission of
GEORGIA asking petition to discon-
60 operation of the Shoe Fly
t.;, between Helena and Column
49, This is one of Americus's most
SI,,oble trade trains, arriving from
gpIora at 10; and from Columbus
s.4o y. m. daily. Included in
tbo netition are number of other
rains ~, the Seaboard would also like
to discontinue
- According to the petition, auto
,abH travel has increased enor-
,nonsIv with the result that the re-
aaints earned by the trans have
hem cut down in corresponding
degree.
The bus lines, recently set into
oneration. have added largely to the
decreased train travel, it was said,
and the railroads have been forced
n operate at a loss in many in
stances.
At present, the seaboard is oper-
oting on this division one through
train from Savannah to Montgom-
sry. in addition to the Shoe Fly,
both trains doing local work and
stopping at all stations. Very little,
if any through passenger business
is handled between Savannah and
Montgomery, it is stated, nor is
there any great volume of business
between Helena and Columbus, the
Shoe Fly being almost exclusively
a local trade train.
Because of the small volume of
passenger traffic, it has been sug
gested that an entire re-arrange-
ment of train service on this div
sion might follow any discontinue
ance of the Shoe Fly. This rear
rangement of trains would include
the discontinuance of the through
train from Savannah to Montgom-
cry and the substitution instead of
two local trains operating respec-
lively between Montgomery and
Americas and Savannah and Amer
icus.
1t is pointed out that with his re-
arrangement, the new trains could
be scheduled so as to arrive in
Americas at some convenient hour
during the morning and depart at
a convenient afternoon hour, this
would give shoppers at Lumpkin,
Richland, Preston, Plains an dinter-
mediate stations opportunity to
come here, do their trading and re-
turn home the same day. Traders
from Flintside, Cobb DeSoto, Leslie
and Huntington would be afforded
similar shopping privileges, and it
would be possible also under this
arrangement to send orders to
Americas merchants from any Of
these towns in the morning, with
goods ordered sent out on the after
noon train.
Should this arrangement inter
tere with the trade trains of Mont
gOmery and Savannah. it is believed
that by establishing new terminals
and shorter runs this objection
could easily be overcome. Inaugu-
ration of the new schedules would
interrupt through passenger traffic
by causing a change of cars and
stop-over at Americas, but it is not
believed that this exists in sufficient
volume to interfere seriously with
giving the plan a try-out.
