CENATOR JIM REED of Mis-

to stay in the Democratic presiden-
tial fight against AL Smith to the
end, and make it bitter.
In combining with the other anti

trying to brighten Democrats away
from Smith as a Tammany "dan-

preserved"
Reed did not ask us to name
delegates pledged to him, but to
select trustworthy Democrats who
would save the party from the daA

The History of Presidential Elections.
XXV-The Presidential Succession.
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN. Z.
Author of THE American Government"

Twice during the present generation
There has been a serious possibility9of
failure of the election system to re-
suit in the choice of a President and
Vice President. On each occasion, in
1912 and in 1924, the division in Con-
gress was such as to make it highly
probable that the House of Representa-
tives could not have chosen a President,
and quite possible chat the Senate
could not have found a majority for
a Vice President. Despite these recent
examples of the uncertainty of the sys-
tenn laid down by the Constitution, no
serious effort has been made to change
it. In case it does not work, we have
one recourse. although its constitution
atty is doubtful. We could fall back
on the succession law of 1887.
The law provides who shall act as
President if the. incumbent is inca
pacitated by removal, death or disabil-
ity. Neither that law nor the ConSti-
tuition makes any specific provision for
vacancy caused by failure to elect
We could merely assume that vacancy
in the White House caused by no elec-
ton was in effecta vacancy from re-
moval, death or disability.
The Constitution says that In the lat
ter cases the Vice President becomes
President and II he, too, is removed,
dies or is disabled, Congress may pro-
vide for who shall act. Congress, in
1887, provided that the Secretary of
State should t'act as President" in
such an event, and If he in turn was
for any reason unable to function, the
successive officials to take the place
were the Secretary of the Treasury, the
Secretary Of War, the Attorney General,
the Postmaster General, the Secretary
of the Navy and the Secretary of the
Interior.
These officials form the line of presi-
dental succession, as it is called. The
Secretaries of. Agriculture, Commerce
and Labor are not included, as those

had some. but included the Chief JUS
tice,s and did not always include the
Attorney !. General. Harding inaugu-
rated the pianFof asking the Vice Presi-
dent to sit with the Cabinet. So far as
law is concerned, anybody might be In
syited to attend Cabinet meetings or any
department head might be excluded
President Wilson made short shift with
Secretary of State Lansing when the
latter proposed to hold q Cabinet meet
ing during the illness of the President
and without his knowledge or presence.
Presidential eligibility Is seldom con-
|+Sidered in choosing O Cabinet, as the
presidential Office has never yet fallen
to any one ranking below the Vice
President In the line of succession.
Many Cabinet members have been men
ineligible by birth to the presidency,
Secretary of the Interior Franklin X.
Lane having been recent example. He
was mentioned for the presidency be-
fore it was recalled that he was born in
Canada. Had the presidential success
sion ever got down to him, he could.not
have acted. Of course, there has never
been serious danger of the death or
disability of the whole line Of succession
at once, although when Lincoln was
ass2ssinated there was plot to kill the
Vice President and several Cabinet
members also. The Cabinet was not
then in the line of succession.
The murder of President Garfield was
declared by some partisans to have

been deliberate plan to get Vice Pres
ident Arthur into the White House in
the interest of a group of Office seekt.s.
GARFIELD and Arthur represented rival
leadershipS in their party. The charge
OF plot was never substantiated, and
was undoubtedly merely the heated
words Of a thoughtless moment, al
though the assassin of Garfield was
himself a disappointed seeker after q
minor public Office who may have had
any mad notion in his brain.
Presidents have never given much
thought to the succession laws, and
Cleveland appointed a Republican as
Secretary Of State, Walter @. Gresham
OF Indiana. Gresham had voted for
Cleveland, but had previously been q
Republican all his life. Bainbridge
Colby, Wilson's last Secretary of State,
had been Progressive and rather in
dependent in politics. Lincoln APP
pointed four Democrats and three Re-
publicanS to his first Cabinet, a course
vigorously opposed by Seward and other
Republican leaders. Seward sur-ested
that the Secretary of State (himself)
be made, a sort of super Cabinet officer
or premier, with direction over the
other department heads. He thought
the President needed kind of assistant
President. Lincoln said he would tend
to the premier business himself, and
that whichever side he took in Cabinet
discussions would be the majority.

CHIEF JUSTICE
L. L. CALLAWAY
IN STATE RACE

In announcing his candidacy to sue

first service with the court began a
quarter of a century ago.
"In March, 1903" said Judge Gala

Helena to serve upon the supreme
court commission, which had been
created by the Legislature to assist the
supreme court, then some three years
behind with it's work"
At that time the supreme court, then
comprised of Justices Brantly, Milburn
and Holloway, appointed John B. Clay
berg, noted mining lawyer living at
Helena, w. H. Poorman then residing
at Kalispell, and Mr.. Galloway as SUI
preme court commissioners. The court
with the ssistance of the commission
ers, got its work practically up to
date in two years.
In December, 1904, having been
elected judge of the fifth judicial dis
trict, Judge Galloway resigned as COM
missioner and was succeeded by for
mer Chief Justice Henry N. Blake,
who served the remaining three
months of the commissions life.
The work of Judge Callaway's dis

to care for fragile hose fail to get
good service from them-when they
are not actually defective-only when
we fail to do our part.
To start a pair of stockings in the
right way we ought to give a preli-

a washing in lukewarm suds, rinse
in water of the same temperature, and
careful drying after each time the
stockings are worn.
How to Put Them On
Another important factor in giving
life to hosiery is the method of put
ting on the stockings. The proper
way is to grasp the seam at the top
and the front top and roll the entire
length to the toe and then smooth up
gently. "Snags" and "runners" are
thus almost entirely done away with
If these instructions are followed

JOHN SAYSELL,
BORN IN RED LODGE
DIES IN IOWA

John Saysell, Grinnell high school
and college graduate, former popular
teacher in Grinnell high school and
beloved and successful superintendent
of the Newburg school since the fall
of 1925, passed away at his home IN
Newburg Saturday evening, March
"a, of flu-pneumonia, says Grinnell
paper
1t is hard for Grinnell friends to
believe that John is gone. His ath-
letic frame and stalwart strength
gave promise of many happy and use
full years in the profession which he
loved and in which he had already at
tanned such a great measure OF sue
cess. He would have been 81 years
old had he lived until May 8.
John Matthew Saysell was born in
Red Lodge, Mont, May 8, 1894, the
son of William and Annie D. Saysell.
His early life was spent in Red Lodge.
He came to Grinnell as boy with his
mother in 1910, and John entered the
academy of Grinnell college. Later
he enrolled in high school from which
he graduated in 1914 and he COM
pleted his college wirk in Grinnell
college in 1918. During the fall OF
1917 he played center on the football
team which was conceded the champ
ionship of the state.
Mr.. Saysell worked for the Herald
chiefly in the pressroom, while both
in high school and college, and was
in the employ of the Herald when he
entered the service in the World war
Early in 1918 he enlisted in the
army, leaving college April %, but
was given full credit for his work
graduating with the class of 1918.
After about three months in the
service at San Antonio he was honor
ably discharged and returned to Grin
nell and re-entered the employ OF thu
Herald. However, he was soon elected
to a position in the high school ant
taught here successfully seven years
In June, 1925, he was united IL
marriage with Miss Bernice Randolph
and in the fall Of that year he ant
his bride went to Newburg, where
John had been elected superintendent
of schools. He was successful from
the first. The Newburg school devel
, oped rapidly under his energetic ant
tactful administration and his thirt
successful year was drawing to
close when he was stricken down b,
the illness which caused his death.
He is survived by his wife and hi
! aged mother.
John united with the Congregation
al church of Grinnell in early man
, hood and his membership was late
, transferred to Newburg. he was
member also of the American Legior
the Elks LODGE and the Masons.
, Funeral services were held from tn
; Congregational church of Newbur
t which was filled by the company
sorrowing friends. The Rev. Nelso
Wehrhan conducted the services, an
