TO CAST
PRESIDENTIAL POLL
Roosevelt to Be Reelected
Officially Monday-vote
Probably 523 to 8.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
1t won't be exactly a surprise. but
President Roosevelt will be reelected
tomorrow.
The 53l members Of the electoral
college will meet then in their State
capitals and vote for President and
Vice President. The chances are the
Roosevelt Garner ticket will poll 523
votes to for Landon and Knox.
It is part Of the elaborate election
procedure set up by the Constitution.
The popular balloting on November 3
chose presidential electors rather than
deciding directly between Roosevelt
and Landon.
These electors-the total equals the
number Of Senators and Representa-
tives-will send their votes here to be
counted by the House and Senate on
January 6. Then Mr.. Roosevelt's cap
ture Of second term will be official.
Moral Obligation.
While there is nothing to prevent
the electors from voting as they please,
they have a moral obligation under the
party system to vote for the candi-
dates receiving the highest popular
vote in their respective States.
Only once has q presidential elector
voted against the ticket he repre-
sented. In the election Of John Adams,
in 1896, Samuel Miles was chosen in
Pennsylvania as an Adams elector,
but he voted for Thomas Jefferson.
This brought from an exasperated
Federalist the observation in the
United States Gazette:
What? Do I choose Samuel Miles
to determine for me whether John
Adams or Thomas Jefferson shall be
President? No I choose him to act,
not to think"
Similarly. only once since George
Washington has there been so close an
approach to unanimitv in the election
of President as will be demonstrated
in the coming count Of electoral votes.
Vote Against Monroe.
In the second election Of James
Monroe. in 1920, there was only one
vote against Monroe in the electoral
college. This was cast by New Hamp-
shire elector. The widely credited
theory was that William Plumer, the
elector, desired to preserve for Wash
ington the honor Of being the only
President elected unanimously.
But the historian who has done the
most digging in that field, Edward
Stanwood, says that P!umer, who had
been Senator and a Governor of his
State, voted as he did because of q
positive distrust of the Virginian.
There had been no general ticket in
the field against Monroe.
A recent suggestion by a Western
1896 elector that Maine and Vermont
cast their votes for Roosevelt and
Garner, making their reelection unan-
imous, was rejected Indignantly by
some Of the electors from those States.

CONFESSION LAID

Threats and Abuse.
~ the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
BROOKVILLE, Ind, December IL
Heber L. Hicks charged Indiana state
police today with threatening ana
abusing him before they obtained his
confession to the head and hands"
Staying of Harry r. Miller, retired
Cincinnati fire captain.
He testified in the absence of the
fury of IL men in support OF his at
} torneys efforts to exclude the con1es-
sion from the record of his trial for
first degree murder. :,
Judge Roscoe O'Byrne earlier denied
Q defense motion to exclude the HICKS
confession on the basis Of testimony
presented by the prosecution.
, Hicks appearance on the stano
came a few hours after the second OF
the three former convicts he named
in the disputed confession had accused
him of actively participating IN the
killing. -.

three men indicted jointly with HICKS.
told police at Portland, Greg, tnat
Hicks was present at Millers ne"

fighter was beaten into unconsci-
business.
Sergt. J. H. Schum of Portland SAID
rnlice there obtained information
from Kuhlman in support OF the State
contention that Miller was killed IN
Indiana. Kuhlman's story, as related
by Schum, agreed substantially WIN
that told on the witness stand
Wednesday by John ]. Poholsky, for-
,ner Cincinnati Works Progress Ao-
ministration worker awaiting trial 1or
the Miller killing.
KuhIman, like Poholsky, asserted
Miller was shot to death before MS
assailants boarded an Ohio River Ter
nv for the trip into Kentucky where
the body was dismembered and the
head and hands thrown into a lake
while the torso was stuffed into q cul-
vert.
Sheriff George Pulskamp OF Frank
.lin County arrived in Portland by air
plane late today to return Kuhlman
to Brookville.
Hicks charge that State police
abused him contradicted testimony
given earlier by Capt. Matt Leach.
head of the State police. Leach testi-
fed that he ISSUED strict orders that
Hicks and Miss Miller were to be
treated with kindness" Miss Flora
Miller, sister of the slain captain. was
detained by police during the time
they moved with Hicks from city to
city in Indiana between July and 8.
She was released after Hicks signed
