ELECTORS' COLLEGE INTERESTS VOTERS House Clerk and Secretary of | Senate Are Flooded With Inquiries. | the Associated Press | The presidential campaign has re- vived the Nation’s quadrennial interest in the electoral college that is selected by the voters every four years to name the next Chief Exccutive and Vice President Information about the institution is being sought by national and State po- litical leaders and officials, along with the curious voters. Questions about its purpose and functions are pouring into the offices of the House clerk and the Senate secretary. Although it has evolved into a col- lege deemed by many statesmen as more suitable to tiie modern trend in Fed- eral and State Government. its gen- eral basic features as developed by the Nation's forefathers, are followed. Equal to Congressmen. Each State has as many elector: votes in the institution as it has seats in the House and Senate. Territories and possessions are ut representa- tion. With 435 scais in the House and 96 in the Senate. the total is 531. In order to be elected President and Vice President, party i have to ob- tain a majority For a presidential ticket the elcctoral vote of slate of electors of chosen by a major vote At its inception. the American sys- tem of electing presidential ticket provided for distinctly an indirect vote. For many years in the Nation's youth, State Legislatures named the electors. The clamor for a more direct vote al-| tered this. Electors are now named either by State party conventions or committees. In recent years, several States, led by JTowa, have made a further de- parture. ' Whereas, formerly in some| States, the names of electors only ap- peared on the ballots, now those of the presidential and vice presidential can- didates appear alone. A vote for ticket means a ballot for the entire | party slate of electors. ! Others Have Both Tickets. In other States both the national tickets and electors of both parties ap- pear. The voter has the opportunity nlx marking his “X" either behind a presi- ' dential ticket or behind the electors of | his choice. But in most States the elec- toral slates only appear. The lack of uniformity of State laws with regard to the selection of electors is blamed by authorities on the simple Tequirements of the Constitution as amended. Under it each State was left its own | way of appointing electors, except th: an elector could not hold any Govern- | ment position. Congress. however. was given authority to determine the time of choosing them. Thus it fixed as national election day the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November each four years. In addition, it also fixed a day for the meeting of the electoral college, | which is the second Wednesday in Jan- | uary following the November elections. | The successful electors in each State are required to meet at a place desig- | ated by the Legislature to cast their rotes, certify them and transmit them to the Federal Capital Meet to Count Vote. Both the Senate and House, presided vintly by the Vice President and | meet on the second Wednesday | ‘ebruary to count the electoral vote. | hile the successful electors in the | various States constitute the electoral college, only State groups meet. The ! name “college” was given the institu- | tion in debate in Congress in 1840 and | has become official through usage. | Until 1928, when Congress passed an act authorizing the electors to certify| the results to the Secretary of State | and to Congress by registered mail, each State designated an individual to carry the vote to Washington TWO TO FACE TRIAL IN PRISONER'S DEATH party must be| of the popular | Former Florida Prison Camp of- | ficials Are Charged With “Torture” Murder.

Personalities, Famous Old Names and Growing Number of Young Men in Important Races Stir Public Interest Over Nation. BY J. A. O'LEARY. HILE the race for the presi- dency naturally will over- shadow all others in the | political arena this year,| here and there throughout the country there are local contests for State and congressional honors that will attract wide interest on election day because of the personality or back- gm\md of many of the candidates. In a number of States names that fieured prominently on the political stage in bygone years will b2 back on the ballots again, as descencants of former statesmen seek to follow in the footsteps of illustrious forbears. In Missouri, for instance, Col. Bennett | Champ Clark, whose father once was | | Speaker of the House and a leading figure in the Democratic National Con- | vention of 1912, aspires to a seat in the | Senate. And up in Massachusetts Henry Cabot Lodge, | ir., grandson of the late distinguished Senator of the same name, is run- ning for the State Legiclature—a step from which na- ticnal figures fre- quently begin their climb to fame. Thegrowing number of young men who are turn- ing their eyes to- ward high public coffice for a career is anotker factor that will focus the attention of the country on several other political battles on November 8. In three wicely-scattered States men In three widely scattered States men veteran statesmen for senatorial nomi- nations, and now are in the thick of the political fray to administer political knockouts to the rival nominees of other parties in November.

Sccpes, who attracted Nation-wide at- tention seven years ago during the fa- mous evolution trial at Daytcn, Tenn., has been put for- ward as a Socialist candidate for Con- | gress. Early in 1925 the Tennessee Leg- islature pessed a law forbidding the teaching of the theory of evolution | in the public schools of th> State, and a short time later Scopes. then a teacher of bi- ology in a high school in Dayton, was brought to trial on a charge of having overstepped the terms of the new law. The entrance into the case of Clarence W. Darrow 2s one of counsel for the cefense, and the late William Jennings Bryan as an ssistant to the prosecutor, ad<ed still greater interest to the proceedings. Op- ponents of, the law contended it was unconstitutional, but the prosecution was successful. Scopes, who is a gracuate of the University of Kentucky, is now living at Pacucah, Ky. Out in the Middle West Dr. John R. Brinkley, known as the “goat gland specialist.” is waging a colorful cam- paign again this year as an incependent candidate for Governor of Kansas against the Democratic incumbent, Gov. Harry Woodring, and the Republican nominee, Alf M. Landon. Two years ago Dr. Brinkley made a try for the governorship, and although he entered the race too late to have his name printed on the ballot, he ap- pealed to the voters to write his name in. The returns gave Dr. Brinkley 183,278 votes, Gov. Woodring had 217,- 171. and the Republican nominee, Frank Haucke, 216,920. This year he got off to an early start, obtaining thousands of signa- tures to the petitions necessary to get his name on the ballot and is putting on a lively political show as he journeys over the State. His presence in the field is causing the Kansas contest to stand out among the gubernatorial cam- John T. Scopes. | paigns this Fall. Long Keeps Busy. Senator Long of Louisiana, though not up for election himself this year— having just begun a six-year term in | the Senate—has kept in fighting trim this Summer by taking a hand in other pelitical battles in the South. Shortly after the Democratic convention at Chicago, where he was in the forefront Roosevelt forces. he went down to Arkansas and campaigned vigorously in support of the renomination of Mrs Hattie W. Caraway. the only woman member of the Senate and the first to be elected to that office. Mrs. Caraway won a decisive victory over six mascu- line opponents in the Democratic pri- mary, and in Arkansas the nomination is equivalent to election. Next came the Democratic primary in Louisiana. in which the veteran Senator Edwin S. Broussard of that State was battling for renomination against Representative John H. Over- ton. Long threw his support to Overton, who was nominated. Overton is serving first term in the House. Senator Broussard is the fifth Sena- tor to be defeated in the primaries this Summer, the others being Sen- ator Samuel Short- ridge, veteran Cali- fornia Republican, who was beaten by the youthful Tal- lant Tubbs, and Senator Blaine, Re- publican _ progres- sive of Wisconsin, who lost to the conservative, John B.

Tubbs, though not yet 35, has al- ready been a State Senator and is bat- llmg now for the United States Senate with William G. McAdoo as his Demo- cratic opponent. Tubbs is a member of an old and wealthy San Francisco | family. He began his political career in the State Senate at the age of 26. During the World War Tubbs was a utenant in the Aviation Corps. and | during his recent primary, campaign he climbed into an autogyro and flew to all corners of the State. He had his name painted on the bottom of the wings of his plane. In his boyhood | days he was a base ball enthusiast. Edits Newspaper. Thirty-three-year-old John B.

LOOK FOR THE SCHWARTZ GOLD CLGCK ON SEVENTH STREET N.w. RF.C.LOANSMAY BECOME AN ISSUE ‘Whether List Should Be Pub- | lished May Be Left for Courts to Decide. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. There'’s a poscibility that a cam- paign iscue may develop out of the controversy over publicity of the loans of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion unless the problem gets tangled up in the courts. | The Recenstruction Corporation, | | heaced by a Democrat, Atlee Pomerene, | wants the publicity stopped, so far as | iniividual names of borrowers are con- | cerned, on ‘the ground it hurts the \credu and standing of the institutions {asking for loans. The clerk of the House, Scuth Trimble, Democrat, is following what he believes were the wishes of Speaker Garner, Democrat, and Representative Rainey, leader of the House Democrats, the law that monthly reports on the list of borrowers should be made avail- able to Congress. Issue Is Not Clear. The President, Secretary of the Treasury Mills and the administration bas held that this meant merely filing the information with Congress and that the Hcuse and Senate should decide definitely whether it should be kept confidential, transmitted from the executive depart- ments and commissions from time to ! time, depending on the nature of the problem. Th se is no doubt Congress has the right to insist on the fullest publicity, but the issue is not clear. The Recon- struction Corporation urges that since there is some doubt about it, the clerk of the House should not be compelled to take the responsibility for deciding what Congress meant or intended. and that since Congress will meet in about 10 weeks, the whole thing can be shelved until that time without serious consequences to Mr. Trimble, but, on the other hand, with much advantage to the borrowing institutions that need immediate help and are afraid to pre- cipitate runs on their own resources by having the facts concerning their re- quest made known. May Go to Courts. Mr. Trimb'e can, of course, defer to a court order if the R. F. C. should apply for one, and the whole thing may get into the courts, with the prospect that it would not be decided anyway until after Congress met. 1f Mr. Trimble makes the data public, it is clear the Republicans will insist that the Demo- in writing into | as is much of the data’ A5 | cratic provision of the law is causing a good deal of disiress to communities whose banks are affected by the ruling. | ‘The md]cnuons are the fact the dis- closure of the list of loans on the first occasien did do considerable harm in the opinion of the R.

Now that evideffce of damage done can be furnished there may be a different | policy pursued by the clerk of the | House.
