No Vote For Five States If Election In Congress It In Thin Fact Whicli Would Make Peadl?ck l*rac!i:-.i! ly Certain in Congress in Kvrnt No Caudiihile !s Chosen President in the November Elections Uy rtOBRRT T. HMAI.L (Co#TTl?'it. IM*. By Tha Ad??nr?) j Washington, July 26. ? If Sen - ator LaPol lotto and Ills associates succeed In their ambition to ob tain sufficient electoral votes to the -PrMldcuUtl election i O the House cf Representa tives, Ave of the sovereign Amer ican states would find themselves unable to vote and it would be this disability which would make It impossible ror eitner president Coolldge ol John W. Davis to se cure a majority vote of the 48 commonwealths. It is no mere speculation thnt a deadlock would ensue in the House. It Is a mathematical cer tainty, unless, of course, some Democrat or Republican should break away from party affiliations sufficiently to throw mm.- of th tied states Into either the Davis or Coolldge column. In voting for a President, where a majority selection has not been made In the regular election, the Constitution provides that each state delegation in the House of t Representatives, shall have but one vote. It is* the unit rule of the Democmtlc National Conven tion carried ^o the extreme. New York state for instance has 43 1 representstlves In the House. : Twenty-two are Democrats and 21 Republicans. Therefore New York's one vote would go to Da vis if all the Democratic repre sentatives stuck together for him. The Constitution also provides that to be successful a Preslden iial candidate must receive, a ma jority of the states. \ It bo happens that thers are .0 state delegations in the House controlled by Democrats and 13 controlled by Republicans. This leaves five states in which the number of Republicans and Dem ocrats Is the same. It is to he presumed that these Democrats and Republicans would stick true to their colors and making it im possible for the states to vote one way or the other. The tied states are Maryland, Montana. Nebraska, New Hamp shire and New Jersey. N <ru: Democra^^ate^ ln the kanMRii. Delaware, Florida. Ceor cla, Kentucky. Louisiana. Missis sippi. Missouri. Nevada. New Mex ico, New York. North Carolina. Oklahoma. South Carolina Ten nessee. Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. ' . . . The Republican states are Cal ifornia. Colorado. Connecticut. Id aho, Illinois, indlsoa. Iowa, Kan sas, Mslne. Massachusetts. Michi gan. Minnesota. North Dakota. Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island. South Dakota, i Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wis consin and Wyoming. The voting strength of these states In the electoral college la as follows: Democratic states 2-1-. Republican states 361. Tied states 38. ToUl 531. t , , , A majority In tho doctoral col leco necessarily la 2fi* ao It will he seen thnt oven thmiKti the Constitutional rule of only one vote to each atato, whether that Mate be New York with 43 repre - ^ntxUTai or ji*"; Just one \ooc Cooiiressman. wouTd seem at first glance to be thor ? oughly unrepersentatlve, tho re sult happens to pan out Just about the ssme. the same states thst cannot represent a majority In the House under the one vote rule would fall five votes short of giv ing a candidate a majority In the electoral college. . _ I It Is perfectly apparent, how- j ever, that throwing the election j Into Congress would be far from sn expression of the people ? will. The Congress which w?ulo *t tenipt to elect a President In 1^24 Is the Congress which was elected In 1022 In the latter year neith er Calvin Cool Id ge nor John W. Davis had appeared o? the horl n son ss Presidential probabilities. It would take iB ststes to elect tn the House The Republicans fall two short of that number; the , Democrats five. Therefore, under the Const Itutlott. the Senate would be called upon to elect a Vice President who In turn would become President In view of the failure of the House to act. In the Senate each Senator has ? role, but unlet* the Hemocrsts or the Republican* could win ov er some of the I.aPollefte group ..f Srnatora there emild be no re sult In that body.

Last year *n*?- acreage harvostid yielded 1,075 long tons per aero with a total outturn of 786,607 tons. If that frle 1* maintained this year the yield would bo 985,775 tone. Cuba had j ? tremendous crop' thia year, pro* ducllon thrrc up to* July 1 amounting to 4.043.179 tons against nn outturn last year of 3.601.605 tons fi?r the entire crop. If the present duty of 1.76 cents a pound on foreign sugar* should he lowered by -the president, do mestic beet and cane growers de clare it would mean a terrlfie loss to them, and practically would put control of the price of sugar In the hunda cf the can" sugar refiners. Prospects are excellent for an equally large Cuban crop next ' year. In addition the European beet crop is of tremendous pro- ; portions. It is estimated that the French plantings have been 30 per cent heavier th?n last your and the acreage in that country ahould produce 630,000 to 650. 000 tons If the weather remains' ! normal and 30,000 to 40.000 tons more If the weather is fav orable for the next two months.

Actual consunitplon and distri bution of sugar for the first half of this year totalled 2,684.972 itons. The amount loo he con sumed during the second nart of 1924 Is variously uHtimai' ?). The American Sugar Association fig ures place the total for year at 5,369,94 4 tons. Some refiners, however, declare the cnnsueiptlon -f*>r ?hr str" Tnnnm?rTnn~nn*^ exceed that cf last year, which was 2.186993 tons making the 1924 total only 4.871.965. The tariff commission In ex pected to submit its report re garding relative coats of produc tion at home and abroad and Its recommendation as to s reduction of duty to the president this week. For a time the trade expect ed the commission to rcccommend a reduction from 1.76 cents a pound to about 1.36. Now. how ever. men In cfbse touch wltji th * situation are far less certain that such a recommendation will be made.
