VOTERS CONSDER EADLOCK RESULT Discussion Centers Around Combinations if Candidates Fail of Majority. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Judgirg by reports received from al parts of the country the voters are discussing among themselves cxactly what would happen if none of the three presidential candidates— Coolidge, Davis or La Follette—re- ceived a majority of the electoral vote: This discussion is in part natural because the race is three-cornered, but it is to a certain xtent being stimulated by the strategy of both e Coolidge and Davis supporters. The Republicans are already usjpg it a8 a means of getting votes and the Democrats are even more zealous in their adaptation of it to their ad- vantage. The Republicans are saying that the elecf bn is thrown into the House of Representatives for de- isior, as is provided if no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, then in case of a deadlock in the House the Senate may choose Vice President by the name of! ! Bryan, through a coali- tion La Follette Republicans and | Democrats, and a radical would wome President of the United St: his thought is most unwelcome the con ve areas of the coun- try. espe the East, where Bry anism for a generation has been re- pudiated the polls How (o Eliminate Brran. But th Democrats are contending the exact oppos in talking with conservatives, namely, that the way fo prevent the sclection of Bryan is to support Davis cither at the polls or in the House of Representatives. For example, if no candidate has re- ived a majority of the electoral votes on November 4, Congress will be convened in regular session in De- “ember or can be called into special session even carlier. until March 4 to pick a President During the three months of discus- sion the conservatives of the country > would be opposed to the selec- tion of Bryan as a v presidential candidate will be urging the selec- tion of Presidert Coolidge. If the Democrats remain obdurate there will deadlock in the House, because tate delegations are about even- divided as between the Demoecrats and Republicans, and there could be no majority of the & s cast for any candidate. as is necessary under the Cunstituti some of the La Follette K hlicuns assist President Coolidge or vote for John W.

As it stands today, both the idge and Davis spokesmen can out a plausible argument to get votes %0 as to prevent the clection from being thrown into the House of Rep- resentatives.

World Flight Costs Kept Within $50,000 Appropriated by Congress Expense for Private Enterprise, However, Would Have Run Into Hundreds of Thousands—Oil and Fuel Was Large Item. The prestige it has acquired by sending a group of aviators on a trail-blazing flight around the world —to0 say nothing of the valuable les- sons learned concerning, all-weather fiving—has cost the United States Government the relative pittance of approximately $50,000. Fifty thousand was the sum Con- Bress appropriated for the flight, and While the final footing up to costs cannot be completed until the flyers arc home again with their expense accounts, the indications are that a small part of the original appropria- tion will remain untouched when the world-girdling planes are trundled tnlm their hangars at the end of the rip. That does not mean, however, that & private organization could duplicate the flight for any such small sum. Actual expenditures of the Army Air Service In connection with the flight are one thing. What it would have cost a private organization to duplicate the necessary conditions under which the flight was made and what foreign governments expended on entertaining the flyers constitute quite another story. TlLe bill for a private concern undoubtedly would have run well up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars Planes Already Availnble. In the first place, the Government spent nothing purchasing planes or extra motors for the flight. The four planes, including the Seattle, in which Maj. Frederick L. Martin started on the journey, and the 12 motors used. had been bought during the war days to be used for fighting purposes. They had been in storage, suffering certain deterioration. When the flight was projected they were simply turned over to the aviation department to be used for the world flight, Instead of some other venture. Moreover, these planes and motors —save for the one lost when Maj. Martin crashed on an Alaskan moun- tain and the one lost when Lieut. Wade fell into the sea—are still the valuable property of the Government. THE 1005 Penna.

Assisting in making the flight a success were several British, Danish and Japanese ships, whose running expense would have to be figured inta/ the cost had private enterprise at- tempted the flight. But neither this expense, nor the money expended by foreign governments for entertain- ment, will figure in the United States Government’s bill for the trip. Fuel and Oil Cost $15,000. On the other hand, there were many uses for the $50,000 in hard cash which Congress appropriated. Gaso- line was no small item. It has been figured that traveling the circuit of the globe required some 10,000 gallons for each motor. At an average cost of 30 cents a gallon, the gas must have cost some $9,000 for the three planes which practically completed the circle. Adding in the cost of oil and the cost of the gas consumed by Maj. Martin in getting to Alaska, the | fuel and oil bill was about $15,000. Other items which came out of the appropriation included sums spent for transportation of supplies, for prepa- ration of landing places, for trans- portation and expenses of the ad- vance officers, Lieuts. Clayton Bissell, Clarence Crumrine, Clifford Nutt and R. Schultz; for transportation of Gov- ernment officers who studied the pos- sibilities of the flight and worked out data to make it a success and for hotel expenses of the fiyers. ‘Whether or not the full $50,000 was expended, Army officials feel, the flight was “dirt cheap” in view of the value of the contributions to the science of flying and the demonstra- tions of the fact that airplanes can fly around the world. ve.
