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

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

wonder that both Demoersts and

If the present duty of 1.76 cents a

mestic beet and cane growers de
clare it would mean a terrlfie
loss to them, and practically
would put control of the price of

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

The tariff commission In ex

a reduction from 1.76 cents a
