The tmdividual voter does not cast ss his ballot directly for Coolidge, or Davis or La Follette. He yotes for a group of “electors’—Republican or Coolidge electors; Democratic or Davis electors; or La Follette electors.’ These electors are instructed to vote for the «: presidential candidate under whose -name they appear on. the popular ballot. e’ So that the voter is, in effect, voting for Coolidge, or Davis, or La Follette, ., but indirectly . The numbers of these groups of elec- in each state The number er-tors vary wd each state has is equal to the number ‘ of cong men it has plus two as the ,.} *number of senators each state has. For ble example Wyoming, which has two sen- ‘ators and one congressman, has three uF ...electors, while New York which has ny forty-three congressmen and two sen «>.ators, has forty-five electors. It is these electors who aré chosen by the indivi- *2° dual voters in the popular election in November A Republican in New York, for example, will vote for the forty-five Coolidge electors. A Democrat will vote for the forty-five Davis electors. A La *»Follete man will vote for the forty-five La Yollette electors. After the selection of these groups .. of electors in the various states in the +. November election, an intricate but al- most unknown process ensues. Which- 2“ ever group of electors is chosen in each state will meet in that state on the sec- “Sond Monday in the following January, “that is, on January 12 next. At this meeting the electors go through the for- NN: ~smality of casting their vote for which- ever candidate for President they were identified with. If New York goes Re- @. °°" publican, the fortysfive Republican tin” electors will meet and register forty-five ..votes for Coolidge, and so as to Davis let... or La Folletté if either of these two wa should carry the state. au Having registered thetr choice, the ‘tr | forty-five New York electors forward .2, the result to Washington The electors , f+. in all the other states do the same 22 thing on the same day. The results 48 ccsof these electoral votes in the various states having been forwarded to Wash- -* ington, the next step takes place in the .* Senate mber, and in the presence of the senate and lower house of congress, «»- on the second Wednesday in February. That will be February 11 next. On eethat day the electoral votes from all over the country are counted. In ordi- nary years this completes the process. ts year, however, there may be, for "the first time in a hundred years, some complications. To be successful a can- didate for president must haye not the total electoral yotes of the country. The total electoral vote is 531 (equal to i for each of the 435 members of con- plus 1 for ch of the 96 sen- 8 A majority 266. {In every presidential election for a hundred years it has come about that 4, one of the candidates for pri ‘ mt has had the necessary majority he reas “son is that in almost all the elections there were only two candi 8, the ones representing the two main partie: Aud in the years in which there ha v leon third candidates the voto of these Bs ..third candidates has been s0 small as , nut to interfere with one of the major ndidates getting a majority. Even in 8 Se “* 1912, when there were really three Y _gnajor candidates Republican, Demo- _* \veratic and Progressive the result was in j.bubstance a division of the Republican strength, Ro that Wilson got 435 clec toral yotes, Roosevelt, 85 und Taft, 8, But this year the possibility is antici- pated that no one of the three candi- dates for president may carry enough states, and of sufficient size, to get the necessary 266 electoral yotes to consti- tute a majority. Some go further and say it is not merely a possibility this year, but a probability. Whatever the degree of likelihood, it rests upon the assumption that La Follette will carry anyhere from one to ten states—with anywhere from 13 electoral votes td as many as 70 electoral votes, If La Follette should carry only Wisconsin, he would have but 1% electoral votes. If he should carry as many states as some of his supporters hope, he might have as many as 70 electoral votes, or even more. The assumption is that if La Follette should get any such consider- able number of electoral yotes the re- mainder. might be divided between Dayis and Coolidge in such a way that neither would have as many as 266. It would be possible, of course for La Fol- lette to get a considerable number of electoral votes and yet at the same time for neither Coolidge or Davis, to have more than No one can foresee yet how the division of ‘ electoral votes umong the three candidates will turn out. In any event, the rest of the ma- chinery begins to move only on the as- sumption that no one of the three gets as many as 266. The South and Manufacturing The changes brought about by war or treaty, enter in the most meager fashion our school histories. But economic changes may take place.without sensa- tional publicity, and may be forgotten by the children of those most concern- ed in them. They occur without the substitution of our flag for another, no new likeness appears on our coinage, code does not follew code, one language is not dropped and another put in its place. It is probable that anywhere from 1800 to 1820 the growth of manufactures was desired by the majority of influon- tial Southerners. The soil of the south was well adapted to the growth of raw materials. Land for industrial estab- lishments could be bought on ) terms, or wealthy planters might start factories of their own, It often hap pened that the southern man was more friendly to manufacturing expansioi th the New Englander who dreaded that it might hurt the shipping inter- est. The first tariff law in our: his- tory was that brought forward by James Madison of Virginia, and he would scarcely have adyocated it had he deemed it a bad measure for the south. The shrieks that protection, such as recent tariffs haye given, is harsh or tyrannical seem absurd to those who consider the Embargo of 1807. Under that stern law all our foreign commerce was swept away, and there was some risk that even the fisheries would be under the ban. Jefferson made, foreign trade criminal. He cared not for silent shipyards, rotting tonnage bankrupt merchants and idle seamen. Avowedly he wished to strike at Great Britain. Practically, however, the Embargo by shutting off imports, stimulated manu- factures. Every one knew that it would, and Jefferson certainly hoped to see a portion of the industrial advance in the south. When the Embargo was re pealoga it was followed by a law only less sfringent—the Non-Intercourse Act which made it illegal to deal with Eng- land or France. No rational béing denies that this act expressed our re sentment toward France and England, but it also yoiced the hope that we might do a great deal towards supply ing our own wants. In Madison administration, Hami), ton’s report on manufactures was _ re- printed by order of congress. In Madi- son’s Administration all tariff rates were doubled. There were various reasons for this, yet who can doubt that the south expected to do a fair share of the manufacturing that would result? Many a statesman has sought the good of the whole country. No statesman werthy of the name ever sought to in- jure his own section. Monroe followed with messages as soundly protective as those of Washington, Jefferson anil Madison. Calhoun delivered the strong- est speeches for protection the first generation of this republic heard. Jack- son's letter had a conciseness never since surpassed. Did- five southern presidents and a man who hoped to be president advocate a policy in which the soutl was not to flourish? Thousands who are familiar with the writings of our early chief magistrates overlook what is powerful corrobora- tive evidence. It was easy in 1800, in 1810 in 1820 and not very hard in 1830 to find southern planters who expected to see slavery pass away. Southern anti-slavery societies were not uncom- mon. Virginia seriously considered emancipation. The southern land own- ers and slave owners who fayored these moyements certainly did not mean to reduce land values or to multiply the number of vagrants. It was their hope to see a factory system in which the labor would be largely supplied by free negroes. Matthew Carey, though of Irish birth and Philadelphia residence, knew more than most of his contempo! southern conditions. He wrote in 1827: “The project of employing slave labor in the manufacture of coarse cottons and other co: e goods, which is now agitated in Virginia and some of the other Southern states is pregnant with the most salutary consequences to those states, and bids fair to extricate them from the difficulties under which they labor and have Iftbored for years, and to diffuse prosperity far and wide whereever it is adopted. It will turn to a valuable account a great mass of labor whieh is now wholly unemployed. Among its beneficial results will be, to render the slaves more valuable; to secure them more indulgent treatment; to improve their facilities; and to a celerate their fitness for finnl emauci pation,” G @he Casper Daily Cribune After discussing his plan, Mr. Carey observed that: “Some of the most valuable water power in the United States, perhaps in the world, is to be found in Virginia and Maryland; provisions are cheap; the raw material js raised on the spot; the labor proposed to be employed is a drug; the climate is milder and there- fore obstructions to the use of water power are rare. These are the ground elements on which to erect the noble edifice of southern prosperity.” Mr. Carey concludes his paper thus: “I anticipate one objection—that slaves cannot be conyerted into mann:| facturers. This objection is set aSide by the fact that in many places they ure thus converted. In Kentucky there are large extensive and ~ profitable manufactories of cotton bagging, the operatives of which are without a single exception, slaves. There are various manufactories in other parts. of (the western states conducted in a9 ar mod These facts, I trust settle ?the question beyond controyersy.” But a few years after these words were penned the Nullifiers of Soutli Carolina were denounce pyotection and all its wévks. This did not repre- sent the whole south. Henry Clay iin Kentucky and Zachary Taylor in Louisi- ana held broader views. Yet cotton simed to be king, and despite ocea- mal protests, wgved the sceptre far nd wide.

How far has it rolled back again? In every southern state there are manu- facturers, merchants, bankers and planters who see the need of protection.

Bryan, ndidate for vice president on the Demo- ie ticket with John W. Davis, said of the head of the ticket: “John W.

He is not popular in the west and can not carrya state in the e: We trust Brother Charley is still of the same opinion and that he proves a true prophet. “up: : Pride in Industry” The New York Daily News Record has lately been contlucting a campaign w: it cally “Pride in Industry.” This is greatly to its credit. Its main idea is to foster in people of the country a pride in American industry, in American accom- plishment and in the patronage of Amer- ican, rather than foreign industries. That means buying America goods, rather than foreign goods when the for ner serve the purpose. The “Pride in In- dustry” campaign means something more. It means the pride which the'work men then ves take in their own handi work, their own acconiplishment. The late war changed a great many things in this country, In connection with the un-economic handling of the affairs of the government for*which the Democratic administration was respon- sible, the workmen of the country, es- pecially the members of the labor un- ions, adopted practices very foreign to “Pride in Industry.” The goyernment let its contracts on the “cost plus” basis that is, allowing the contractors a cer- tain percentage of profits over and above their production costs, on which latter there were no limitations. That disor- ganized labor and acted as a premium to dishonesty on the part of the employer. It tended to prevent them from filling their contracts on an economical basis. ad, it offered a premium on high production costs, on overcharging for labor, Since they got back all that they paid in wages, and a certain percentage of profit thereon, they cared not how much their output cost. In turn, that corrupted the workmen. Instead of tak- ing pride in the amount of work they ac- complished, they were led to “soldiering on the job.” They did as little as. they could and “get away with it.” Both the workmen and their employers profiteer- ed at the expense of the government, which, in turn charged it to “the people.” And s0, we “the people of the United Stites” were robbed right and left, and a precious heritage of taxes was left to he Republ administration which Succeeded. The present administrat has nobly taken up the burden and 1 not only greatly reduced the public debt, but has also reduced taxes. But the practices which sprang up during the war destroyed to.a great ex- tent, the “Pride in Industry” which had been characteris of American work- men, so that a very large percentage of American workmen still give as little in return for their wages as they possibly can, and thus those of their employers who profiteered against the government during the war are now reaping the re- sult of their own folly and dishonesty. Unfortunately many other employers are forced to suffer in common with them. The motto of every American workman should be, “An honest day’s work for an honest day’s pa They will fare better in the long run by living up to that rule and by taking “Pride in Industry.” For 3s have been greatly surpris- ed by the craze of Americans for for- eign prodocts. To foreigners the word “imported’ ’is not a badge of stiperiority nor is a foreign Jabel any incentive to the purchaser. Foreign workmen take an inte in, take prid@ in, their own work- manship in the excellence and quantity, an ‘Of their ouput. And foreign consumers take pride in patronizing home institu- tions and in building up home indus- tries. That is pure patriotism and self respect combined.

Leaders have at- tempted to cement the numerically pow- erful element; but have been unable to do so successfully except in occasional and widely separated sections. Following the practical collapse of the old Greenback party, which had develop- ed a considerable strength, there was a period deyoted to the organization’ of locak political organizations in which the agricultural and labor elements were fused together. These were eventually combined under the name of the Farm- ers’ Alliance, and Industrial Union, be- coming a national factor in 1890. Two years later-the name was changed to People’s Party, and this was changed by its foes, in a spirit of derision, to the label, “Populists,” which was generally accepted. Kansas, Nebraska and North Carolina} were its strongholds. It won state gov- ermnents and sent its candidates to con- gress and to the senate. In South Caro- lina the Republicans fused with the Pop- ulists, and secured a Republican senas tor, In 1896 the Populists gave over a quarter million votes to the star right party ticket of Bryan and Tom Watson. Some of the Populists leaders are-identi- fied with the present independent politi- cal movements, The Lowly Worm SPOKANE, Wash.
