that IS, the existing House, even though the election may have changed its mem bership substantially.
 Once more majority, and not mere plurality, is necessary for the election of President How large a fraction of | the present House La Toilette could
 control in such contest Is debatab1e. | But for the sake of illustration, grant
 him his five States again. There are
 forty-eight States in all; twenty-five are
 necessary for a majority; each State counts one vote; set La Follette's five
 aside, and all either Davis or Coolidge
 has to do to block the others election
 in the House is to tally nineteen votes.
 For those nineteen, with La Follette's five, would leave the other party only
 twenty-four is one vote shy of ma
 jority. .... Assume this happens. What follows next?
 The House has until March to break its deadlock, if deadlock should raise The break could come either by La Fol 1ette surrendering enough of his State delegations to Coolidge or to Davis to furnish a majority, or by enough Coo lidge States going over to Davis, or vice versa, on the theory that victory for the other side was better than con- fusion.
 Suppose, however, that party lines hold fast. What happens in that case?
 The question goes to the Senate.
 Does the Senate choose President?
 No; what the Senate does is not to elect President but to elect Vice President from among the two highest candidates. The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution provides "A quorum.
 shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and ma jority of the whole number shall be nec- essary to choice"
 What happens if a Vice President is elected7
 He proceeds to act as President and the incident is closed.
 But it is not difficult to believe that II lllC OCddlO(h WdS NdAlISd 4d4 IL might go one stage farther.
 To be sure, the contest is narrowed down by this time; one man is ruled out and the choice before the Senate is now between the two highest candidates for Vice President. But suppose those two highest are Dawes and Bryan. There are three Republican votes Ga Fol lette's, Frazier's and Ladd's) which would almost certainly go to Bryan i; there are two farmer votes( Shipstead's and Magnus Johnson's) which would go in the same direction. That would tie the voting, AS to 48
 Or, to prevent majority until party lines broke, these three Republicans, two Farmer-Labor men and perhaps several of their more insurgent colleagues, might refrain from voting either way. The Constitution requires majority of the whole membership, and not merely a quorum, for an election.

Maxwell Says Senator Lacks Sincerity
 and His Aids are Without Quality. Cedar Rapids, Ia., Oct. H. w. Max we'll, La Toilette party manager ill ] Iowa, resigned from the La Toilette State Central Committee this afternoon and issued statement chiding La Fol lette for apparent insincerity and Sena- tor Wheeler for the personal attacks he is making in the campaign.
 MT. Maxwell did not say he would support Coolidge but did say he would go to New York and campaign for Roosevelt for Governor if his services were wanted.
 Maxwell declared the campaign was one of wind rather than substance and said the management apparently had no hope of accomplishing more than throw ing the election into Congress.
 "When men like Senators Johnson, Norris and Borah, a-progressives, refuse to expose the La Toilette cam paign, it is prima facie evidence either that they have no hope of winning or that they do not desire it to win in its entirety, he said.
 La Toilette was criticized for not en- listing under the Roosevelt banner in 1912, which, he said, had not strengthen ed him with the old Roosevelt follow ing.
 'If the men by whom Senator La Toilette has surrounded himself in this campaign are an indication of the cal ibre of men he would select as his Cabi- net in case of election, I cannot support him." Maxwell said
 Maxwell was Registrar of the Land Office in Oklahoma during the Roose- welt Administration. He was member of the Republican National Committee for four years.

 Yes, Coolidge and Davis might have total of 240OO0 votes in Nebraska, as against 130,O0O for La Toilette; but if La Toilette had more votes than either Coolidge or Davis individually, then all of Nebraska's eight electoral votes, and not just proportionate share of them, would go to the third party in the Electoral College

NEW YORK, April 21.-The
recent conversion Of a British war
loan per cent bond issue, due in
1929, into az per cent issue, due
in 1914. is q favorable commentary
both on improved credit today Of
the British government, and the
intelligent methods being pursued
to refund the national debt. In
this respect the actions of the
British exchequer closely parallel
those of the American treasury; by
one operation they are reducing
interest charges and shifting a part
Of the war debt on the shoulders
of the rising generation.
Great Britain's national debt to-
day amounts to about eight billion
pounds, or sac. 200 ZOO, 900 at normal
exchange rates--nearly twice as
large as that of the United States,
and its interest rates are higher
than Americas. On every dollar
of British taxes, IS cents goes to
the service of the national debt.

NEW YORK. April 21.-The COL
lapse of the pool in Congoleum was
the outstanding feature in the first
two hours trading on the Stock
Exchange today, The stock which
had been persistently offered down
since 1t reached a high of 66A at
the beginning of the year expert
ORced q wide open break of lax
points, under an avalanche of sell
ing against practically no support
was in evidence. There was a
quick rally of about four points
following the first outburst, but
extremely nervous and erratic.
The unsettling influence Of this
sensational decline naturally was
keenly felt in other stocks of the
speciality type whose movements
had been identified with pool opera
tions. Heavy selling broke out in
Coca Cola, 'Cuyamel Fruit and
Daniel Boone Wooden, offerings in
the latter originating with Chicago
interests. Yellow Cab, on the other
hand. displayed better resistance,
rallying SHARPLY following initial
weakness.
Speculative selling in general
was more or less depressed as a
result OF unfavorable developments
in the speciality group. but the rela-
tive steadineas of recognized lead.
ers was encouraging, Apparently
professionals were limiting opera
tions pending the publication Of
Judge Gary's speech on steel and
general business conditions to be
delivered at the annual meeting Of
United States Steel. at noon. They
confined their attacks to oil, on
the theory that this group did not
have its proportional share of the
general decline. Sugars. too, We're
in continued supply, In connection
with preliminary reports indicating
a world sugar production for 1928
1924 exceeding the previous max.
imum output of 1a13-1914. A drive
against feathers was instrumental in
bringing about a decline averaging
two points in the most important

End of Revolutionary Trouble

End of the evolutionary disturb.

Iy increase United States trade
with that country, Department Of
Commerce officials predicted today.
Producing regions of Mexico were
little damaged by the revolution,
but the general breakdown of trans.
portation brought about a virtusl
collapse of trade, it was declared.
"The re-establishment of federal
control over all important railroads
has quickened the movement of
goods in many areas and trade
was visibly better during March"
Hector Lazo, Of the Latin-Ameriea,l
division of the department said.
American exports to Mexico in
1898 totalled $la0,6s7, 200 while from
Mexico this country imported goods
valued at $1S9,852, 900. January
and February trade was less than
that during the corresponding
months of 1923, but officials an
ticipated that the Mexican-U United
States commerce would begin to
reach normal when the March and
April figures are available,
Because of the inability Of fs0.
lated regions to make purchases
during the revolution heavy buying
is possible. There is still oon-
siderable congestion of freight in
the important gulf ports, although
the government has decided not TO
exact duties on goods already
taxed by the revolutionary forces.
The labor situation in Mexico
continues to be menacing, accord.
ing To Department of Commerce
information. Several serious strikes
in the oil and sugar industries are
keeping the situation agitated. The
textile industry is embarrassed by
labor troubles.
