r Presidential Pointers | In the first four elections for president each elector voted for two candidates, the one receiving the largest number of votes * was declared president and the one who received the next larg- y est number of votes was de? 1 / clared vice president. At the ? / election of 1804 a president and J vice president were voted for ^ separately and an amendment . to the Constitution provided that the presidect.and vice pres g ident could not be elected from I ? the same state- To insure an election a candidate for presi- a dent or vice president must have a majority of all the electorial votes cast, otherwise the elec- a tion for president would be 81 thrown into the house of repre- w sentatives by state, each stat9 J* having one vote, and for vice ^ president into the senate.

Adv. ve The President's Salary The salary of the president of, th tne United States was the cause th of discussion in the first con- j iti gross, in view of the fact that 90 the Constitution declared that.Ni the president should receive &a compensation for his service. 19 Washington had notified his t'el- an low citizens that he desired no su salary. The limit suggested in fa congress ranged from $15,000 to is $70,000. The salary was finally w< placed at $25,000 and this re- sii 1 J 1.1 r * a HiiiiiuHi me compensation until President Grant's second term yy (March 8, 1878), when it was in- jg creased to $50,(500.

I belive in the nationalisation of Ihe issues which affects not only men, but women also. The great problems of our country ire national. In the matter of railroads, for example, forty-six Liferent sets of laws for their regulation merely check and iiaudicap their development and management. A universal Fedaral law is essential for railroads. In the same way, the question )f enfranchisemet of women has income national and demands federal action." Last, but by no means least, ve note that the Methodist ipiscopal Church was commited to woman suffrage on May ;ou at its national convention in Saratoga, N. Y., through the aceptance of a resolution introluced by Judge Henry Wade Rogers, of the United States ircuit court at New York City.

"The act proposed in this re ilution is an act of justice," udge Rogers told the delegatesIn my opinion women need the allot for the same reason as len.
