There i spportunity for all the agencies that sre at work to do their utmost and yet realize while they are doing it that it will be impessible to prevent a large logs of life and an untold amount of saffering. What promises to be a handi- cap to the outside agencies is the lack of confidence in the soviet government. Thiy s strikingly revealed in the atti- tude that is taken by the International Red Cross relative to the agreement in which its representative for Russian work, Dr. Nansen, had entered Whereby hp was to cooperate With representa- tiyes of the soviet government in the distribution of the supplies. It was the stipnlation of Mr. Hoover | the league of the he | ternational dourt of justice. would be giyen that the work of distri- ‘bution should be done by the represen- tatives of the Amerlcan relief without interference from the soviet goyern- ment. The American Red Cross will work with the American forces, and it seems to be indicated that the Interna- tional Red Cross takes much the same view that Mr. Hoover does for it has refused to sanction the agreement ar- ranged by Dr. Nansemn by which Rus- sian agencies would cooperate, Were conditions what they ought to be in Russia it comld be appreciated that it would be desirable for the varl- ous agencies from without to get ali possible assistance from those within who might be more famillar with the conditiong and who could hasten the work of disbhrsing the relief. Hut that is where the rub comes. Condi- tions are what they are because of so- t activities. Therefore there does not exist the confidence that is needed to approve of soviet cooperation. For the protection of the supplles that are being poured into that country and to be, assured that they will be employ- ed among those intended these upon whom the rTesponsibility rests make it plain that they are unwilling to rely upon the cooperation of the soviets. It is an unfortunate situation but it is the starving people of Russia not the so- viet government that the agencies de- sirs to help.

Thus it must be regarded as th2-abil- ity of the man that appealed to tke nations that nominated him rather than the desire to have this country represented as a judge of the court, however desirable that might be. This court is to be established under nations, but the fact that the United States is not a member ereof does not prevent ome of its citi- zens being made a member of it. It rests with © mbly and eouncil of the league to pick the judges from the st nomniated. That Mr. Root would ave been a member had he consented serve there can be little question, and yet even though he has declined to accept such an appointment it doesn’t necessarily mean that some other in this country will noet de honored. Nevertheless there will be regret that Mr. Root feels he cannot serve, if for ne other reason then the one he gives, that of age, for it is realized that while his mental and physical condition have shown no indication of being impaired he must be the judge and when he finds it impossible to accept such an appointment of international importance it indicates that his services in other directions are likely to be subject to increasing curtailment Thus there is double reason for regret at his deais- ion.

It was ecasy enough to plunge into the situation that increased unemployment, but it is not as easy to return to nor- malcy. Vice President Coolidge dweit upon this matter In connection with his address at the 150th anniversary of the founding of Williamstown Sunday when in taking an optimistic view he declared pre-war conditions cannot re- turn ynless we pay back and work back.

Hach State was entitled to “a number of electors equal to the whole number of Senators and Represenia- tives to which the te may be en- titled in the Congress,’ but it was the original intention of the farmers| of the Constjtution that these electors should be chosen among the best, the wisest and the most respected citizens, whose free and untranimeled should prevail in the selection they were thus to make. It was in this maaner that the leet- ors were chosen in 1789, and the votes they cast (only ten of the original States purti he eleetion) showed tha I consensus of ng the highest S unanimous choice country | for President, receiving the entire six- ty-nine votes cast by the various elec- toral colieges, while Jehn Adams, who received the next highest number of} votes, and hence became Vice Presi- dent, received ,only thirty-four, with the other thirty-five scatteringly di- vided among nine other candidates. While party divisions date back te the convention which adopted the Con- stitution, this first administration was practically non-partisan—or to be more accurate, bi-partisan. Alexander Hamilton, who was the first exponent of the Federal party, as well as Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic party, were both members of the President's Cabinet—the for- mer as Secretary of the Treasury and the latter as Secretary of State. At the time of the second presiden- tial election all of the original thir- teen States had ratified the Constitu- tion, and the new States of Verment and Kentucky had been admitted mto th: Union. The «lectors ywere chosen as in the iirst election, and Georgze Washington again recelvel e unwn- imous vote for President, 132 while Jjobn Adams received 77, against 30 cast for George ton, of New York four for Thomas Jefferson, of Vir- ginia, and one for Aaron Burr, of New York, John Adams ther-fore, was Ty elected Vice President. The third election found the num- ber of State increased to sixteen by the admission of Tennesee into the Union. The Vice President, John Adams, prominent among the leading Federalists, and Thomas Jefferson, pre- eminently the founder and oracue of the Democratic-Republican party be- came, by common consent, the opposing eminently the founder and oracle of ingten. There was no attempt made to pledge the electors to the choice of either, and the result of the election was that 71 votes were cast for Adams 68 for Jefferson, 59 for Pinckney, 30 for Aaron Burr and a few votes each for nine other candidates. John Adams was iherefore elected President and Thomas Jefferson Vice President, they having received the highest and the next highest number of votes, respectively. During the summer of 1800 the first formal nominations for President and Vice President were made by a caucus of the Democratic-Republican mem- bers of Congress, which met in Pkila- delphia, then the seat of the Federal Government. They nominated Thomas Jefferson for President and Aaron Burr for Vice President. A similar caucus for Federalist members of Con- and Charles C. Pinchney for the Vice nominated John Adams for reelection gress, also meeting in Philadelphia, Presidency. By these limitations the electors be- came bound in their choice to the cau- cus nominees of their respective par- ties, and the original scheme of the Electoral College was thus permanent- 1y set aside and defeated, never again to be instituied. The result was the election of Jef- ferson fer President and of Burr for Vice President, both having received seventy-three electoral votes. This being the case, the election had to be determined by the House of Repre- sentatives voting by States, and Jeffer- son was the choice for first place. The mault of this elaction was that the a1 choice | twelfth amendment, providing that the electors shall cast separate ballots for President and Vice President, was rati- fied September 28, 1804. The first nominating convention, as is the custom of today, was in the campaign of 1812, when the Demo- cratic convention met in Washington in May and nominated James Madison for President, and the Fedcralists met in New York in September and nom- inated DeWitt Clinton. From this on every foruth year conventions of the respective parties have been held and candidates have been nominated and States have chosen elctors to vote for them, (Tomorrow—The Bloomer Period.)
