Most every, one knows that should this happen, the United States House of Representatives will be called upon to elect the next President, but at this point, there appears to be some misunderstanding regarding procedure. The first important fact is that each state will have a single vote; in other words, only 50 votes will be cast. This is of particu lar interest in that there are five states, Alaska, Delaware, Nevada, Ver mont and Wyoming which have only one Congress man. There are 10 states that have only two Con gressmen: Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Isl and, South Dakota and Utah. This means that 15 states with only 25 Con gressmen would have 15 votes or approximately 30 per cent of the total re quired to elect the Presi dent. Stated another way, the states with one or two Congressmen have the same power that the state of New York has with 41 representatives cr .Califor nia which has 38 Another interesting fact is that a state’s delegation cannot split its vote, that is one-half for one candi date and one-half for an other, but must cast a single vote for a single candidate. In the situation where a state has only two Congressmen and they can not agree on their decision. Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, September 19,1968. since one-half votes are not counted, they would have to forfeit their vote. The constitution also pro. vides that the House should vote on the three candi dates receiving the highest number of electoral votes for President. While the House is selecting the President, it is the duty of the Senate to select a Vice President, but their selec tion shall be made from only the two highest can didates. So, regardless of what happens in Novem ber, the Senate will have a majority of Democratic Senators in the 91st Con gress, and if the election goes to the United States Congress, it is a foregone conclusion that the Demo cratic Vice Presidential candidate will be the next Vice President. Another possibility of interest is that the House might not be able to arrive at a ma jority decision on their choice, while in the mean time, at an earlier date, the Senate concludes their selection of a Vice Presi dent; therefore, the Vice President chosen would act as President until the House had made its deci sion. At one time there was mild speculation that if the Congress would be called upon to select the next President and Vice Presi dent. whether it be the re sponsibility of the present 90th Congress or the new 91st Congress which will be convened in January, 1969. It is now generally agreed that it would be the duty of the new 91st Con gress. The House of Represen tatives has on two occa sions in the past been call ed upon to decide these is sues in the case of Thomas Jefferson in 1800, and John Quincey Adams in 1824. Should this historical oc casion present itself, it will be one of the most import ant responsibilities of any Congress in recent years. Lupton Earns CLU Position R.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Sir: We passed through your lovely town on September 1 and I was sorry it hap pened to be on Sunday. We ate there and drove around. I am trying to trace some relatives who lived there and wonder if someone who reads your paper might poss.bly be of help. My mother (age 86) is the daughter of John Pip kin Freeman. As a child she went with him from Mississippi to Edenton to visit his sister, a Mrs. Hughes, known to her as “Aunt Puss.” Mrs. Hughes had a daughter named Rcsa, one named Fairy and a son. If any of their people are still there, I would ap preciate very much if they would write me. LOIS K. ARNOLD, P. O. Box 841, Columbus, Miss. LITTLE BOY, BIG FlSH—Ethridge Smith, Jr., is only seven years old but he managed to land this big cat fish in Albemarle Sound Saturday afternoon. Elbridge’s fish weighs six and one-half pounds and was more than 27 inches long. ofl * to Qnemembei By MARVIN BARHAM “Few of the men and women about us today have what they want, and few want what they have.” The above words sum up man as well as any we know. It’s human nature to find our little world is actually a prison wall. Within these walls we must spend our days spend them happily, or resentfully. We gain our victories, not by as saulting the walls, but by accepting them. We accept life by looking at it in this respect: However uncontrollable our past, however dis appointing our present—our future can be what we choose to make it. We may seem at times to be the prisoners of fate, while we are actually its master. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: The mastery of life is often just a simple adjustment Colonial Funeral Home Edenton, North Carolina SECTION B
