The Election of Our President

stead of which there shall be one
Presidential and Vice Presidential
candidates. The ballot shall also have
the following directions printed there.
on: TO vote for the Presidential elec.
tors of any party, the voter shall place
a cross in square before the names
of the candidates for President and
Vice President of said party. The
number of votes received by Presi-
Dental and Vice Presidential candi-
dates shall, within the meaning of
this act, be the number of votes to
be credited to each of the electors
representing them"
The Constitution does not establish
the qualifications necessary for suf-
frage. 1t simply provides:
"* the electors" (herein mean
ing the voters) Gin each state shall
have the qualifications requisite for
electors of the most numerous
branch of the state legislature.
which leaves to the respective states
the right to determine who may vote
1t does, however prohibit certain tests
which may not be used, such as re-
ligion:
"* but no religious test shall
ever be required as qualification
to any office or public trust under
the United States"
The Fourteenth Amendment, rati-
fled in 1868, defines citizenship:
"All persons born or naturalized
in the United States, are citi-
zens of the United States and of the
state wherein they reside"
The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified
in 1870, grants to negroes the right
to vote:
'The right of the citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any state on account
of race, color, or previous condition
of servitude."
By the Nineteenth Amendment, rati-
led in 1920, women were granted the
light to vote:
"The right of the citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be Y
denied or abridged on account n
of sex" n
The Constitution provides that the o
erm of office of the President and "
ice President shall be for a period
f four years. The only qualifica-
ions are:
mo person except natural born
citizen, shall be eligible to the
office of President neither shall
any person be eligible to that office
who shall not have attained to the
age of thirty-five years and been
'ourteen years resident within the
United States"
The time for the Inauguration of E
10 First President Washington, was d
xed for the first Wednesday in d
arch, 1889. Since the Constitution b
divided that: $
"And they shall make list of all t
he persons voted for, and of the b
lumber of votes for each which list S
hey shall sign and certify and '
ransmit sealed, to the seat of the F
overnment of the United States, h
irected to the President of the n
enate. The President of the Sen W
te shall, in the presence of the n
enate and House of Representa- h
yes open all the certificates and IL
le votes shall then be counted" |
Congress, however, was slow in as

have lived in Montana over forty
years and all my business and inter.
ests are in the state, but never have
aspired to any political jobs.
AS an Independent voter | have
watched the political gang you men,
tion run the state with the help of
the company papers and the gumshoe
crowd.
1t strikes many of us why state
as independent as Montana is should
allow the two companies to dictate or
force on us their biased newspapers.
and then write their glorious edi-
torials on free press and free speech
and government interference.
The average citizen objects to high
salaried office holders drawing high
salaries from the state, working one
hour for the state and 12 to ID hours
for the companies that ballyhooed
them into jobs.
This gang is well-known to most
of us: Ford, Clements, Craighead,
Goza, Rankin and Wheeler They run
this state in way that would put
city boss to shame.
Did you notice how this gang is
out to block the Missouri valley prof.
ect. Ford is quite busy to see that
Montana Power will not lose its mo-
nopoly of all the water in the state
Did you ever hear of Ford looking
into the electric power rates or gas
rates for the thousands of Montana
citizens. On his campaign cards, he
says he has made good governor. /
.hink it should read, he has made the
best governor the Montana Power
sver had"
| wonder how long the real citizens
If Montana are going to stand for this
rang of racketeers. / believe if the
small business men, and la
,or were advised what the gang were
loing they would be outside looking
n pretty quick.
Why is it they need so many poll
icians and lawyers to run a mine?
hey report they are short of miners
0 mine ore, but they seem to have
lenty of politicians and lawyers to
nine at the state capitol
1t is plain to see your editor knows
he set-up and is doing every citizen
great service in keeping it advised.
