HOW TO DEFEAT THE PO-
LITICAL GUERILLAS

The very evident purpose of the La
Toilette party is to prevent the cleo
ton of President by the electoral
college and thus transfer the choice
to Congress involves uncertainties
and delays, the disturbing effects of
which ought to receive the considera-
ton of all voters irrespective of par
ty. 1t is true the alternative to an
election by the electoral body is a
perfectly constitutional proceeding,
but 1t is also evident the Constitution
does not contemplate a situation that
would leave the country without a
President up othe very day speci-
fed for his induction into office.
That might easily be the situation
at the present time if the electors
should fail to elect, because the polit-
ical division of the present House of
Representatives-and it is the pres
ent House that would be required to
elects such that its deadlock would
be probable, 1t would vote by States,
each State casting oNc vote and 25
States would constitute the majority
necessary to a choice. Neither the
Democrats nor the Republicans are
sure of twenty-five States in the
House, and that body might ballot
from next December, when it recon-
venes, until March 4, when it ceases
to exist, without making a choice
1t is apparent that such a deadlock
would have the most disastrous pub
lie results. The whole country would
be in a turmoil of doubt, indecision
and apprehension. Business and in
dustry would suffer, legislation would
be halted and government would be
at a standstill
AS Senator La Toilette has no pos
sible chance of being elected Presi-
dent by the electoral votes of the
States, his endeavor to throw the cleo
ton into Congress is clearly against
public policy. 1t is merely program
of obstruction which should be vigor-
ously combated by the voters and if
as the electoral deadlock should be-
come apparent, it would be their duty
to avert it by the one sure means in
their hands. That is to assure one of
the majority candidates a clear ma
jority of the electors.
A vote either for La Toilette or for
a trailing candidate is vote to trans
fer the election to Congress and leave
the presidential succession in doubt
until next March. A vote for Cool
idge is therefore the only vote sure
to count for decision in the regular
way. The candidate clearly in the
lead-and this month is pretty sure
to indicate with reasonable certainty
which candidate that is-will appeal
to every American who wishes to re-
Duke political guerilla warfare waged
only to clog the wheels of govern
ment and turn presidential election
into a sniping contest in Congress.
