He said he was confident that Hoover would carry Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, and Texas, and that he thought Mississippi and South Caro- | lina were “waking up.” Although the Prohibition party, ex- cept thos> members which have split to the Varney-Edgerton faction, is supporting the Republican national ticket, it has not committed itself as to local tickets. ‘The Prohibition party was organized in 1869 and now is active in four-fifths of the States.

With Cool- s, Davis and La Follette in the field, was a possibility that no party could win a majority of the elector: that event the election would have been left for decision by the House of Represeniatives, and that body was so closely vided that a majority there was uncertain, The possibility of an indecisive election gave rise to the slogan, «‘Coolidge or chacs,” the latter word being descrintive of possible un- certain d delay about the selection of a Pr ent. The slogan had a genu- ine meaning and definite application 1o our peculiar electoral tem. While the suggestion of ‘“Hoover or havoc” has been made for a 1928 slogan of the Republicans, not appeal so strongly to the pu as there is no danger of an indecisive election. Trouble May Develop.

As recently as bids fair well as the possible, dangers of 1912 and ible that trouble may develcp if the election is very close. Such events as the naming of two sets of Republican electors in Georgia as a result of party machinery conflicts may prove wholly unimportant. If, how- ever, the election should be as close as that of 1876, and if one or more States should be so nly contested that the electoral vote would be divided, as has often happened, there would very likely be contests of a bitter and even danger- ous char of the hi tions a °gin with an under- standing of the election machinery by which we choose a President. This machine ot up in section 1, of Article IT, ¢ f Constitution, early proved itself full of flaws, and rected to a large extent by the twelfth amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1801, as a result of the experiences of the tied election . of The amendment is our pres: don, and while it h wholly such faul r was threat- adopted 1876 that a new civil w ened.

The twelfth amend- ment scts forth that each State shall be entitled to as many presidential electors as the whole number of Sena- tors and Rep: from _that State. These to be chosen by States “in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” Those electors shall meet in thelr respective States, ballot separately for a President and for a Vice President, forward the Tesult to the President of the Senate, who shall in the presence of both houses of Congress open and count the electoral votes, . The clectors must not, says the Con- stitution, be members of Congress, nor persons ‘who hold any office of profit or trust under the United States. Provision Violated. It may be worth noting right here that this last provision has been violated at least once, and probably more often. 1t is also interesting to recall that the on allowing the Legislature of each e to provide the method of choos- ing elzctors resulted in one very clever device for splitting the electoral vote of Michigan, 1892, and was then challenged in'the Supreme Court of the United States, which held that the act of the Legislature must stand.

Washingtonians who hope to vote by mafl this vear. but who are doubtful concerning the laws of their home States on the subject, may re- ceive the necessary information by inquiries to The follows: Voting Inform: care News Jepartment, Evening The questions and answers will be published each day, Question: My residence is in south- crn Maryland, and I have been away from the ‘State at varlous times for short periods.

B Answer: If you have never filed affidavit de ring your intention to be- come a resident, you are not eligible to vote and will not be until one year from the day you do make this declaration, unless you were a resident of the State on August 26, 1920, the date of the pas sage of the suffrage amendment, and have continuously resided th i | in which event you may r ction without a de no provision for register or vote vote at_this el tion. There sentees to_eith Meryland, by mail. Question: My home is in Wesimore- land County, d. Pleas to be able to vote this year.—F. L. B. Answer: The Virginia law requires that a poll tax assessed or as: bl must have been paid at leas months before the election and it will be necessary for you to register if you have paid this poll and you have until October 6 to do this. Once regis- d, you will not be required to re- er, unless you change your resi- dence. You can vote as long as you pay the poll tax required. There is only one exception to this law; that is, if you moved into the State of V. ginia since January 1, 1927, you will have the right to register and vote without paying poll tax. Question: I live in Missouri but am employed in the District of Columbia by the District government. The friend who works ‘beside me married a man from Pennsylvania. She is told that she cannot vote with him because she has never lived in Pennsylvania; thct women there have a separa‘e voting franchise. Will 'you please state if ther are other States having the same law? -F. T. Answer: You, evidently, refer to the law of independent domicile. The Penn- sylvania law gives a married woman the same status for voting and holding office as if she were single. The States of Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jer- sey, Ohio and Wisconsin, also have similar laws; Massachusetts, if the wife separate and apart from her hus- Wisconsin, optional whether the wife takes the husband’s residence or retain her own. Question: My home is in Texas and I have been attending school here for the past year. Am I permitted to vote at the coming election, and if so, what must I do?—D. L. T. Answer: Texas law requires the pay- ment of a poll tax on or before Feb- ruary 1 preceding the election and this payment constitutes registration. If you have paid this poll tax, you may appear before any notary republic not more than 20 or less than 10 days before election and deliver to him your poll tax receipt or, in case of loss, make affidavit to that effect. The notary pub- lic will forward to the county clerk of your county the poll tax receipt or af- fidavit, upon receipt of which the county clerk will mail to you the official ballott with full instructions. If, how- ever, you have not paid the poll tax re- quired on or before February 1, 1928, and are not exempt from poll tax, you will not be permitted to vote.
