NOBODY VOTES DIRECTLYFOR
PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT;
HOW TIE COULD DEVELOPE

: from New York's Al to the three
each of Arizona, Nevada and Wyo-
ming.
The actual election of President
and Vice-Pres' takes place when
the electors, chosen on November
have met and cast their ballots
The Constitution requires the elec-
TORS to meet in their several states
! and declare their choice for Presi-
dent and Vice-President, and the
number of electoral votes which
thev give to each candidate. They
must then sign, certify and trans
NIT their ballot, sealed, to the Pre-
sident of the Senate, who then, IN
the presence of the Senate and the
House of Representatives opens
these sealed envelopes and counts
the electoral votes from all the
states. The President of the Senate
who is the Vice-President holding
over from the preceding adminlstra-
tion. then declares who has beer
elected Pres;den and Vice-Presldenl
for the next four years.
In Case Of Tie Vote
Another question often asked Il
/. what would happen if the vote
should be a tie, or neither candl-
date had majority of the elector-
al votes In that case, the House o1
Representatives would have to elec'
the President. 49,,
One of the reasons why the lates'
amendment to the Constitution pro
v.des that the new Congress to oe
elected November shall take ot1lce
on January 8, while the new Presl'
dent does not go in until January
2o is that in case of tie in the
presidential vote it will be the new
Congress and not the old one WHICH
would elect the new President.
The House of Representatives Il
limited in it's choice, in such case
to the candidates for whom electora
votes of states have been cast, pu'
it is not bound in any way by tne
size of the popular vote OF any can
didate.
Only once has the election OF
President been thrown into tne
House of Representatives. That was
in 1876, when Samuel j. I1lden
Democrat, of New York, ran against
Rutherford B. Hays Of Ohio. on
the face of the returns, Mr.. Tilder
appeared to be elected, but charges
of fraud in the Democratic vote In
Louisiana were made and the Re-
publ:cans contended that the Demo
cratic electors of Louisiana had not
actually received a plurality OF the
popular vote.
The House of Representatives ap-
pointed an electoral commission tc
investigate and advise the House
The commission reported that the
Democratic electors of Liuisiana
had not been properly elected. The
House adopted the report Of the

Sir Humphry, an aple-cheeked
Briton with thinning hair and rimless
spectacles perched on the end OF his
nose, spske glowingly OF the librarys
history and the accomplishments OF
its stewards. Men in white, attired
for the occasion in dinner dress, ana
women in evening clothes strained
to catch his soft-spoken syllables,
for he could hardly be heard beyond
the fourth row of the high-cetlinged
library. Downstairs, however, an
overflow audience heard his every
word blaring through amplifiers,
THE history of this great library
is the history Of great men," Sir
Humphry said.
He quoted the late DR.. William H.
WEIGH, famous Johns Hopkins sur
geon. to the effect that ''the really
great contributions of this country
to medical knowledge" are:
81. The discovery Of anaeothesia.
80. The discovery Of insect trans

that the term implies.

its Index Catalogue-and this library
and its catalogue are the most impor-
tant of the four"
After his grafton, Sir Humphry was
presented with a parchment scroll
appointing him a life consultant Of
the library.
Sir Humphry had spoken. too, OF
the need of the institution for a new
building and, after the ceremonies,
Surg. Gen. Reynolds and other Army
officers expressed the hope that the
centennial celebration would bring
to public and congressional attention
the danger of storing such an inval-
liable collection Of medical volumes
In a half -century-old, non-fireproofed
structure.

Men of science the world over paid
homage last night to that Piertan

cate plague and suffering from every
corner of the earth penetrated by
the wearers of the Aesculapian staff
of the United States Army Medical
Corps.
President Roosevelt regretted that
he was unable to attend the cere-
monies In the fiag-decked central
room Of the library, at Seventh street
and Independence avenue, but paid
high tribute to the library with this
statement: (.
"The years that spanned the period
from the founding of the library to
the present have witnessed profound
development in the practice of the
art of healing. And during that
century the Army Medical Library has
attained a position of first rank
among the scientific libraries of the
world, and has become, I am glad
to know, a veritable storehouse Of
medical learning. Its treasures, !
am informed. are available to and
are consulted by seekers after truth
not only from our country but from
other and faraway lands.
