DAILY EDITION Wednesday, Aug. 20, 1924. La Follette And The Presidency. A Washington dispatch published yesterday stated that La Follette might make it difficult to,elect a president. The diffi culty Is that the candidate must secure a majority of the votes of the electoral college. If there are three or more candidates and neither gets a majority, then a president cannot be elected. If the electoral college fails to choose a man then the duty is assigned to the House of Representalives and there is grave doubt even there if a straight party candidate can be elected by a. majority vote. "The fjnal chance of getting a man is in the Senate which has thrown upon it the duty of choosing a vice-president, provided there is a deadlock in the electoral college. If the Senate chooses the vice-president the person chosen automatically becomes president if the House of Representatives fails lo choose one. Should the Senate also be deadlocked, there is no method by which a president can be chosen and presumably the country would have to be without one. a AH this is more or less hypothetical and not at all likely to come to pass but it is quite possible. La Follette would be in a position to dictate terms if he secured a large enough following in the houses of Congress. The first speculation is as to whether La Follette can secure enough electoral votes tb start the block ade. The Wisconsin senator, some observers declare, may spring a few surprises. In Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio sentiment for La Follette appears to have been gaining rapidly during the past lew oays anu mere are people who". claim to be without any party bias who predict the third party will shock the old-line party .leaders by the showing it will, make in. these slates. There are even people, apparently without any particular love for La rollette himself, who predict that La Follette will pick up a few electoral votes in the eastern slates. As a matter of fact, La Follette's strength is. very difficult to estimate anu trie wisest or the political forecasters are obliged to admit no little uncertainty as to his campaign. It is a strange army which he is leading. It includes the discontented of both major parties, disgruntled agriculturists, theorists and faddists of a dozen different kinds, the so-called Progressives, the Socialists, even the out-and-out "Reds," though the latter were informed they were not wanted. A number of influential leaders whose political wisdom is unquestioned also have declared for him and various powerful organizations, including Several strong labor unions, are to be found in his" ranks. One thing is certain: La Follelte is strong enough to be feared. The leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties are undoubtedly watching his performance wjlh no little anxiety. It will probably all depend upon how close the contest is between Coolidge and Davis. If one or the other has a good-sized majority, La Follette's venture will be without effect upon the result. If it is close,, he may bring about a deadlock, for with a close line-up of Republican and Democratic votes in the electoral college he would require only a few voles to prevent eiiner siue naving a majority. i.a rouette in all probability will not get many of the electoral votes. His pro-Herman attitude when his country was at war still linger in the nublie mind and intakes that impossible. Biit he will most assudly get n few, and that few may be enough. It is just that chance that makes his presidential venture one of the most interesting features of me campaign. Liberal Government And The Senate. Apparently Premier Mackenzie king has committed him-self to the policy of limiting the, powers of the Canadian Senate The only respect in which-we disagree with him is in not going the whole distance and abolishing it altogether. Let the poor old men now Ihere have their pensions for the rest of their Jives out uo not continue au institution the chief work of which is to grant expensive divorces and now and then hold up the ueveiopmeut or the country. ine Canadian Senate is an anomoly.

Starting down 'the inlet near the old Molybdenum mining camp, the blaze was fanned by a strong wind and, before it was brought under control, it hail covered au area or three square miles ami destroyed one of the finest stands of limber in the district. The conflagration was checked lbout the middle of the week by a timely rail or rain and the heroic efforts of some 80 fire fighters under. Fire Ranger S Iiriggs. The tug Cape Scott was here last week and took out 2,000,000 feet of logs from the Abbotsford Logging Co.'s camps. This makes a total of y.000,000- feel shipped by the Abbotsford Co. to Ocean Falls this year.

Old fashioned Quebec tugs at the heartstrtnrt ot' the summer visitor, because her appeal Is personal , Without Intention, so to do. she has struck what the advertising men work so hard to acquire... the human interest angle. Quebec Is natural, simple, lovable. In our race for a living we ot the cities have reduced life to a system with every action In subordination to hours and minutes Dut In Quebec the habitant; rises above the leash. He has something In himself which holds him to old ways. To family life, to the" farm,, to the horse and hand-plough; to the scythe, to cows. Wives arid daughters and boy of all ages lend a hand at everything. AU the changes of the seasons fit In to the scheme of life. And yet there sems to be no particular scheme, no hurry, none of that driven feeling. No friction. And so when we get Into Quebec we are sensible of a freedom of spirit The shackles of "the drive" fall way as we come once more under the benlson of the simple and the fundamental. Here by the road are the wayside Crosses common In Old France and once In Old England. The Mower Is abroad In ttt fields. The dogs drawing their little carts sUll holdlhe road. And nothing Is more humanly appealing than these dog carts of the Quebec highway. The "Dog of Inlanders" has won his way to publicity on the screen, but thoe "ehlens" of Quebec have had no Jackie Coogan to do them justice. And yet what a part they play tn the life of this great Province, far larger In extent than Manders. How the dogs fill niches In the households, jobs long a so eliminated from our scheme of life, are performed by the doc carta as a matter of course, In Quebec. ' Boys of the family brak their hand in from babyhood, harnessing, uaharnesalng, driving "la ckleu." Th boy that m f soon as he Is big enough will have the horses la hand. ueep meaning ort lies hid in childish play" dowa la Quebec. And yet the dog cart is not merely a means toward an end. As farm life is arranged In Quebec, the dog cart is no mere child's toy, but part and parcel of French thrift Doys sent an errand cover the miles in the dog cart Wood to be brought from the distant woodlot on the mountainside is loaded Into the little cart With th aid ot these "tiny horses and carts" small boys do this work quite easily, releasing their fathers and big brothers to men's Jobs at the plough or with the heavy scythe. TUle workers In the big mill below Montmorency Falls, living in Saint Qregolre and other villages nearby, have their dinner-palls brought to them by their small boys in dog carts, and If you happen along this road at dinner-time it is to see perhaps as many as thirty or forty of these little chariots. The speed attained of the dog Is surprising, especially when homeward bound. Then, little M'sleu can hardly hold him in. Out you must not think 'tis only youth that these gay dogs ot Quebec serve, their tails wagging, flying along with the baby in the cart and the family brood of boys and girls running helter skelter gathering framboise In their palls. What would the old... the oldcouplcs, the old women, do without their old dog and his little eartt But I think perhaps one never realises more, how much a part of every day life the dog cart Is, until you happen along by some wayside smithy and see the smith hard at work turning, twisting, heating, hammering- the miniature axles and tires In the most matter of fact I manner, part of the day's work, as much aa showing a I horw.
