THE FOUNDER

ONE OF tho most important food

Is ono OF tho strangcst creatures
in the seattle founder.
Tho founder belongs 10 the fat
fish tribe Next to tho halibut. II
Is tho most widely caught flatfish in
Atlantic waters It's strange char
aetcristics Is that one Of It's eyes
migrates travelling over TO the
opposite side Of the head and estab-
fishing itself close 10 the other eye.
This migration Of tho eye Is ono
Of tho strange provisions OF nature
for It's protection. In early youth
founders swim about normally. like
most other fish, but, as they de-
yelop, they lie flat In the sand.
Some species lie on one side, some
on the other. The right eye travels
over to the left side or tho left
over 20 the right as tho case may
bo. 50 that the fish finally has
both eyes on one sido Of itg head.

ooh, that's all right" said Billie

Even when some will say that they
never boast, they are boasting bit.
For they are Boosting of the fact
that they do not boast.
But pray explain yourself, Dragon

1ore presumably unable to vote. Wis
consin, nominally one of the % Re
publican states, would presumably
vote for LaFollette. SO, to win, Cool
idge would have to get three of the
deadlocked states and Davis would
have to get all of the f1ve
Incidentally, here Is evidence that
the LaFollette managers have long
been preparing for this situation. In
June the house settled a seat contest
between two claimants from New
York: Bloom, Democrat, and Chand-
Ter, Republican. The contest commit
tee had found for Chandler. The La
Toilette group voted with the Demo-
Gratis to seat Bloom. Why? Because
Chambers vote would have put New
York in the Coolidge column. Blooms
vote puts New York ID the Davis col
umn.
Let us assume that there Is a dead
lock in the house and that 1t continues
to March 4 next. On that date the
term of President Coolidge expires.
And on that date his successor should
be sworn in. The house having failed
of election, that successor would be
the vice president elected since Febru-
airy IL by the senate.
But suppose the senate has been I'm
able to elect a vice president since
February IL. Let us take look at
the conditions in the upper house In
respect to this election.
The senate, under the Constitution,
is restricted to voting for the two can
didates receiving the largest and next
largest vote in the electoral college.
That would eliminate either Dawes or
Bryan or Wheeler Take your choice
and work out the answer in your own
way. A quorum for the purpose of
this election consists of two-thirds
(64) of the whole number of senators
(9e) and majority (49) Of the whole
number is necessary for choice.
Now, IN the present senate there are
81 nominal Republicans, 43 Democrats
and two Farmer-Laborites (Shipstead
and johnson of Minnesota). LaFol-
lette himself is one of these nominal
Republicans. Brookhart of Iowa and
Frazier and Ladd of North Dakota
are listed as Republicans. So are sew
eral other senators who have been
tagged by the regulars" as radical
and "insurgent."
1t is therefore evident that LaFol-
Iette with very little help would hold
the balance of power in the election
of vice president by the senate.
Keeping in mind that this is puz-
zle article and not a political screed,
let us assume that Dawes has been
eliminated by the vote Of the electoral
college. How would LaFollette and
his following maneuver to bring about
the election of Wheeler over Bryan?
Now suppose Bryan had been elm
mated by the electoral college and La
Follette's job was to elect Wheeler

"What is that?" asked Billie
Brownie.
"I'm coming to that I'm coming to

II like to have an interested listener.
II would not be very nice If you be-

II never drop any other way.
"Now airplanes don't do that. They

landings, or they have accidents which
make them land in frightful condition.
"But not so with Mr.. Dragon Fly.
Always, always, always my body

"And what particularly amuses me"
continued Mr. Dragon Fly, lis that
the people have tried everything In
the world to make their airplanes do
Just this, and though they have studied
our wings and the way we act, they

"They have tried and tried and

1t is an open question whether the

the most fetching ideas featured In
