other Young man who has had his
imagination stirred by being away to
college. he had returned home and
rather relievedly slipped back into the
comparative comfort of small town
existence after the heCtically super
fetal urbanity of the school.
Thoroughly. steady and discrimina-
tive, he left the far horizons for those
who felt the tug of adventure. Here
was his future. A few years In the
bank and he would probably settle
down and marry and live the quiet,
unruff1ed existence which would be
expected of him. With Alicia, OF

The thought of Alicia, small brown
haired and brown-eyed, with the
placid look and the unexpectedly in
telligent conversation, stirred in Don
no feelings OF wild eXultation, no
shortening of the breath and quick
ening of the pulse. Intimacy with
the inevitable in time serves to make
it commonplace. 1t was tacitly under

formal engagement. that in time Alicia

A ND so matters stood when the
- elder McCrae announced the i'm
minent arrival of John Stevens, his
wife and their only daughter. Hilaria,
for a weeks stay during the State
fair. The incident seemed unim-
portant to Don . Until he saw
Hilaria!
Don's hand. as he held Hilaria's
upon their introduction, trembled
slightly. and the conventional words
of acknowledgment coming from the
girls lips seemed to take on a Spe-
cial significance. All at once there
came to Don the realization that
never before had he met any one like
Hilaria.
Even to his inexperienced appraisal
the fact was evident that she was
fully as exotic as her name. She
was tall for a girl; her blond, ex-
quisitely modelled head nearly top
ped Don's shoulder. And when her
long-lashed, deep blue eyes looked
smilingIy up into his he felt himself
sinking into deep pools of bliss.
Into the back of Don's mind there
entered a CLEAN of speculation. To
give him credit. he didn realize that
already the siren lure had cast its
spell over his sense, awakening the
Casanova complex which lies dor
mant in every man. OF course. he
would have to see that his visitor
was entertained property

FOUR ACES ANNEX
CONTRACT CROWN
Defend Team-of-Four Title
by Defeating Last
Opposition.


NEW YORK, April 20,-The -Four
Aces successfully defended their Ma
tional Masters team-of-four contract
bridge championship yesterday by
trouncine Waldemar Won Zedtwitz's
crack team by 1880 points in their
final round match Of SO hands.
Won Zedtwitz, Sam Fry, jr,; Ed
ward Hyrnes, jr., and NJ. D. Maier cut
the Aces lead from 4,030 points dur
ing the last 80 boards. A missed
grand slam and an excusable error by
FRY and Won Zedtwitz proved the mar
gin of victory.
Although they played with B.. Jay
Becker of Philadelphia substituting
for Capt. Michael T. Gottlieb, the
Aces victory maintained their team
record Of successes in major tourna-
ments during the last three years.
Oswald Jacoby, David Burnstine and
Howard Schenken were the other
members Of the quartet.
BY winning the masters event and
the Nate B. Spingold trophy, the Aces
won the right to represent the United
States in the unofficial international
team matches for the Olcott-Pate cup
At a critical point in yesterdays 81
board session, Fry and Won ZedtWitz
allowed Becker and Schenken to make
a five-club contract which could have
been set two tricks.

electoral commission and gave the
Presidency to General Hayes.
How Tie Could Develop
A tie vote of presidential electors
is impossible unless Mr.. Lemke or
some other third-party candidate
should receive an odd number Of
electoral votes, since the total num-
Der of electors to be chosen Novem-
Der 3 is 531. In the event of a tie
the House of Representatives to be
elected in Novmber will have the
say. A shift in lis Congressional
Districts from the present set-up
would be necessary to give a Re-
publican majority.
There will be no change in the
party majority of the Senate, this
year, no matter how the election
goes. Senators are elected for six
years and there are 81 DemocatS
whose terms run for from two to
four years longer, more than a ma
jority of the 96 members of the
Senate.
Nogales international., 1936-10-31

WASHINGTON, (Autocaster) -
Oct. % - Newspaper correspond
ents in Washington are being
flooded with letters asking questions
about the presidential election.
One of the most frequent ques-
tions asked by voters writing to
Washington is how it is possible
for President to be elected by less
than a majority vote. Another ques-
ton is whether it might be possible
for a Republican President and a
Democratic President, or vice.
versa, to be elected.
In National Election
What most of these inquirerS do
not quite understand is that no
body votes directly for either Presi-
dent or President. Presidents
and Presidents are not elected
by the people; but are elected by
the states, under the Constitution
In each state the opposing parties
nominate presidential electors, and
on Election Day the people will
vote not for Roosevelt and Garner
or Landon and Knox, but for the
presidential electors nominated by
their respective parties. The num-
ber of electors in each state is the
same as the number of Senators
and Representatives which that
state has in Congress.
It is this system of voting by
states for President and Vice-Presi-
dent instead of by direct popular
vote for the candidates that made
it possible for ten Presidents to be
elected who had fewer than a ma
jority of the popular vote.
For example, Mr.. Cleveland, in
1884, carried many states by very
large majorities but his majority
of the popular vote in New York
State was less than 1000, so that
although this gave him a majority
of the presidential electors, he had
a minority of the nations popular
vote. The same thing occurred when
Mr.. Wilson was elected President
in 1912. In that year, however, the
electoral vote was split between
three candidates. Mr. Taft and Col.
Roosevelt between them had more
popular votes than Mr.. Wilson had,
but Mr.. Wilson got the majority of
the electoral votes.
The Electoral Vote
A question frequently asked is
whether electors chosen on the Re
publican ticket could vote for the
Democratic candidates. The answer
is that there is nothing whatever in
the law to prevent them from doing
so. They are free agents, chosen by
the people of ther state to vote for
the candidate for President and
V;ce-President.
On November 8, as a matter of
legal fact, nobody will be elected
President. Only presidential electors
will be chosen, varying in number
