Bishop’s house By SPECTATOR ' (Continued from page 4) transmit SEALED to the seat of the government of the United States, di rected to the President of the Sen ate; the President of the Senbte shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, “etc”. The Presidential Electors meet on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to caet their votes. This is the law, the Supreme Law of the land; and no Congress no Leg islature may change it; nor may any court try skullduggery with it. You see how it works. The Elec tors from each State meet in their 1 own State and vote by ballot AS IN DIVIDUALS for two citizens. They shall also make DISTINCT LISTS OF ALL VOTED FOR. Conceivable the eight Electors from South Caro lina may vote for eight men, each Noting for a dtffeitent man. And they must sign and certify the re sult and send it sealed to the Presi dent of the Senate in Washington. I remind you that this is the law. Political conventions are not agen cies of the law. They are devices and expedients, but they are not sub stitutes for the law. The Constitu tion of 'the United States can neither be amended, superseded nor abrogat ed by political conventions. Now some States, apparently for getting the historical background; disregarding the plain intent of the Constitution, allow political parties to print the name of a Candidate for the Presidency on the ballot for Presidential Electors. If the States as sovereigns may not direct the electors in their choice, how are political parties to do so? I submit that the inclusion of the name of any Presidential Candidate on a ticket of Presidential Electors, when voted on at the General Elec tion, is a violation of the Constitu tion itself and totally invalid I repeat, for clarity and emphasis, that the States may choose the Pres idential Electors, but the Electors are independent even of the Legisla ture, if chosen by the Legislature, South Carolina has no ballot which the State prepares and issues. The law of this State (Code, Volume 2, Section 2304) prescribes that there shall be a separate State ballot on which shall be named the Candidates for the Congress (Senate and House) and Presidential Electors. As there is no ballot prepared by the State the political parties prepare and dis tribute their ballots. So may any person, or group of persons, prepare and distribute ballots. An Individual may even write his own ballot with pen and ink. It is the purpose of the Southern Democratic Party to prepare a bal lot for the General Election on which shall appear the nominees of the Democratic primary for United States Senator and Representatives in Congress and eligiht independent Presidential Electors who will not vote for Mr. Roosevelt or any one dictated by him. The Columbia Record recently car ried a statement from Rixey Smith, Secretary to Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, that James A. Farley and Ex-Vioe-President Garner had made a plot to steal the presidency from Mr. Roosevelt; and that this has been done by those gentlemen and “rene gade Democrats with a satchel full of carpetbag money”. So far as we have heard, or have reason to believe, Messrs. Farley and Garner have had nothing to do with the uprising in i the South, even in Texas. But it will take miany a dollar to match the [ billions 1 which the New Deal has spent, and is spending of the tax payer’s money for political purposes.
