GOLDEN RULE IS
GOOD ONE SAYS.
S. C. AUTO CLUB

Although greater efforts than ever
before are being made to protect
motorists and pedestrians alike on
the highways, there are still a large
number of unnecessary traffic iacci-
dents. Many rules have been sug-
gested, and the public safety depart
ment of the Automobile Club of
Southern California believes that
observance of the old fashioned
golden rule" will go a long ways
toward making the highways safe.
From the many suggestions for
safe driving, the following are re-
garded as so important that they
have been called 4the ten command
ments of driving.s They are:
/. Drive on the right side of the
road; it S just as good as the left.
.. Slow down when approaching a
cross road; it is nearly as dan
gerous as a railroad crossing.
=. 5. Look out for children. You
never can tell what they will do,
and you are always in the wrong if
YOU hit one. es .vy.-
4. Try to help instead OF hihder
the traffic officer; he is there for
your good and he's got a tough job.
5. Be sure that your "dimmers -
really dim; IS no joke driving into
binding glare, as you probably
know.
6. Read and obey the warning
signs; they are not put up as ornaf
ments.
7. If you feel you we got to speed
do it where 1T won t kin any
body but yourself.
8. When making minor repairs.
stop where your ear may be seen
from both directions; otherwise you
my stop longer than you anticipate.
8. Speeding around corners is a
straight route to the hospital. Don 7
race past stopped street ear. Some
day the jury may call it man
slaughter.
10. Use discretion. The fact that
YOU had the right of way bring any
body back to life, least of all your
self.

 Mayor McLean's letter intimated that many of the persons named in the list participated in the City Hall demonstra- ton, which was broken up by the police. The letter reads:
 "A riotous demonstration took place at the foot of City Hall last evening, the ring1eaders in which were placed under arrest by the police. A memo randum from the Police Department at tached herto gives the names of certain of those placed under arrest who are not citizens of the United States. Since the acts of these persons are directly contrary to American principles, l would request you herewith immediately to take the necessary legal steps to have these persons deported as undesirables."

 The list was compiled by John M. Tracey Chief of Police. He recently ordered Turn Hall closed to union meet ings on the ground that outside agi- tators spoke in it.

THIRD PARTY (Continued from Page One.)

At Providence this week MT. Davis took up the issue bluntly with the Re publicans of the status of the workers of the country, He replied to the C.. O. P. charge that the Democratic par ty is "an unsafe party" for the business interests and the workers of the coun- try with the following:
 'The business interests of this coun- try had c1amored in vain fifty years for revision of our banking system. They got it in 1913 under Democratic auspices. The Federal Reserve Act gives the country financial stability today such as it has never before en- Joyed. Is that mark of insecurity
 Let the laboring man think mo- ment. It was under Democratic Administration that there was wrr- ten into the country's laws the dec laration that the labor of a human being is not a commodity, but in heres in him as one of his essential liberties and is not to be interfered with at the arbitrary discretion of any man; that the writ of injunction must be limited according to rules laid down by statute; that the eight hour day shall be the standard in all Government em- ployments.
 Nominee for Governor Morris has also been keeping the voters alive dur ing the week. At meetings all over the state he had handled the public situation in manner that is leaving little for the Republicans to brag about and they are now admittedly afraid that their Roraback-picked nominee, Prof. Hiram Bingham, will be sent to exploring the Incas ruins again in stead of exploring things at the state capitol Everywhere Mir Morris has gone he has been enthusiastically re- ceived, specially in the country towns heretofore the mainstay of the Repub- 1ican machine The small town cleo tions this week were grabbed upon by the Republicans as an indication of Republican victory next month, but even their most ardent supporting newspapers admitted that there was little to base the claim on as the town elections are more personal than party matters and are no indication of the voters mind in state and national mat ters

If The Election Is Deadlocked
 As Some Alarmist Seem To Fear
 President Will Be Named as Follows

What would deadlock the eleetio, now?
 There are 531 votes in the Electora College. Of these 531, 1o4 are vote: in the Solid South and i'll the border States which Democratic candidate i reasonably sure of carrying. That leaves a remmainder of 337.
 A majority of the college is 266 Accordingly, this is the situation: If Davis carries the 1o4 votes of ths Solid South and the border States then Davis and La Toilette between them need seventy1two additional vote! to block the election of Coolidge.
 La Toilette is usually credited, as { minimum, with chances of carrying the five Northwestern States of Wisconsin Minnesota, Montana and the. two Da- kotas. That is a block of thirty nine votes. Thirty-three more for either Da- wis or La Toilette, anywhere outside of the Solid South, would prevent the cleo ton of Coolidge.
 Endless combinations can be sug- gested which provide those thirty-th New York alone, for example, has forty five votes to deliver.
 On the other hand, Davis cannot win his own election in the Electoral Col lege unless to his 194 he adds seventy two more. And if La Toilette is given thirty-nine, then, to win in the college, Davis must cut the Coolidge total to 226. ...
 You can guess the answer any way you like, but it is clear that with every State La Toilette carries, both of his opponents have an increasingly smaller margin to play with. La Fellette's strength is probably not spread evenly throughout the country, as Taft's was in 1912, but massed is separate States That is why there is talk about dead lock.
 If no candidate receives a majority in the Electoral College, what happens next?
 The first step is for the House of to attempt to choose President from among the three high candidates. But note these facts:
 First, the House does not vote as it ordinarily does, by individual, but votes by States. ---
 Second, each State counts one vote and only one-New York, for instance, with its forty three members, counts no more than Wyoming with its one.
 Third, if it is not the new House that does the voting, but the old House
