The fourth amendment to the &tate constitution which voters are to consider at the general election proposes to give cities and villages the power to frame and adopt either thome rule commission form <harters without unintentional in- terference by the legislature. The home communities know what they want better than any legislature. The amendment gives them this Tight and should be passed. or Electing a President. When the voters go to the polls November 5 they will not find the names of Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt on the ballots. Instead they will #inde the names of twelve men called Ppresidential electors, who will vote for Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt if elec- ted. In other words, a voter does not vote for president but elects a man to vote for him. These presidential electors are not legally bound to vote for any person and the writers of the constitution actually meant for them to use their own judgment. But an elector has come to regard his position as one of a high degree of honor and not in many years has one betrayed his trust and voted for a candidat who 4id not cary the state. Each state has as many electoi's as it has senators and representatives so that Minnesota will have twelve in the next college. The electors meet in their own states on an ap- pointed day and ballot separately for president and vice president. The result of the vote is signed, certified and sealed and sent to the president of the senate. In the presence of both the house and the senate, the votes -are opened and counted and the re- sult ‘announced. This usually takes place in Janyary. There is a provision in the con- stitution that in case no candidate receives a majority of votes in the electoral college then, the three high- est on the list come before the house for ballot—but the house then votes by states and each state has but one vote. A quorum for this vote con- sists of at least one representative from two-thirds of the states. A majority of all the states is neces- sary for a choice. In case that it falls to the house to chcose a president and it fails to 'name one before March 4, 1913 the vice president then will become pres- ident until the next election just as though President Taft had become disabled. Thg vice president is elec- ted by the senate from the twg high-! est and twe-thirds of the scnators| and a majority is necessary for a choice. The presidential situation this year is peculiar in that there are three candidates—Taft, Wilson and Roosevelt—each of whom believes he will win and it appears now as REPORTER YHE CITY EDITOR WANTS ME To Wilson and Roosevelt will probably be the three highest. In such a con- tingency the vice president would be- come president and the president pro tem of the senate would become vice- president. There will be 533 senators and representatives in the next congress, which will have a membership based cn the census of 1910, and the elec- toral college will contain an equal namier. T, get a majority, one candidate must receive 267 votes. Election returns will show the ten- dencies in each state and from these tendencies it can be ascertained which way the vote in the electoral cellege will go. New York with its torty-five votes. Pennsylvania with thirty-eight and Illinois with twen- ty-nine will be the battle grounds. A Value on Applause. “Why don’t you go into politica?” “How can I?” rejoined Mr. Dustin Stax. “If I were to ask the enormous corps of employees I control to get out and cheer for me they’d send a committee demanding extra compen-|’ sation for working overtjme.” Fresh Country Vegetables. “I saw you digging in the garden at daybreak.” “Yes,” replied Farmer Corntossel, “I have to be up bright and early so a8 to get the tomato cans hid from the summer boarders.” T TAKING A POLL OF How Nou STAGK UP FOR, PRESIDENT! JGVR HENRY’S SYSTEM. Among the employes of an apart ment house in Washington is a dusky elevator conductor, who would appear to have a “system” similar to that of the maid who announced to the guest at the door that she didn't hear her until she had rung three times. “If anyone calls, Henry, while I am out, tell him to wait. I shall be right back,” sald & woman to the boy in question. _ No answer from the boy. “Didn’t you hear me? Why don’t you answer?” demanded the woman angrily. “I mever answers, ma'am,” ex- plained Henry, “unless I doesn’t hear, and then I says ‘What?" "—Judge. Lack of Tact. “Why did you jilt Percy?” “He is lacking in tact.” “Why, I thought he always sald pice things?” “He does—but not always the right things. He was protesting his love yesterday when we passed an old woman. I saw my cue and said: “Will you love me when I get old and look like that woman?” “‘Of course I will, darling!’ he cried. “So I dismissed him. The idea of his consenting to think that I could ever get to look like that horrid old thing!” ‘Women are so particular. - Not at an End, However, “So our engagement is all over?” he said moodily. “I am afraid it is, darling.” There was a note of tricmph in her voice, “You see,” she explained, “I told it to my dearest girl friend as a great pecret.” Then, indeed, did he realize that it was all over—Lippincott’s. Coming On. Fweddy (at a loss for something to eay)—I suppose, Miss Malizie, you're —aw—a matinee girl. Miss Maizie—Not yet. I guess you are thinking of my cousin 'Rita. I'm Just maw’s girl. Not So Mean, “Say, 8am, did you give your friend 8 quid pro quo when he sent you a silk umbrella ?” “No, siree, nothin’ so stingy as that about me. I sent him back a gold headed cane.” every voter, though neither has a wide margin on either of the others. In case then that neither receives a majority of the vote, the entire question will go to the house. ‘ But in the house the vote will be by states so that whereas Minnesota will have twelve votes in the elec- toral college, it would have but one in the house. This puts each state, regardless of population, on the same basis. It is not an impossibility that the house might not agree on one man before March 4 since it must ballot on the three highest and Taft, firstclass manner. ble.
