The candidate of the Soclallst-Tldrparty, 8enator I.aFollette, U well aware that ha has imt the least chance His of election to tlie Presidency. hope la to prevent Coolidge from procuring the neceasary electoral votes to put him In the White House again. In thla way the thing for which hat long pretended to by the people through their expreseed will would be defeated, and a handful of radical senators, holding the balance of power In the senate, would determine wbo would be the next President of the United States. Any failure of the electoral college to give Coolidge a clear majority would mean plunging the country Into a condition of confusion where business would languish, industry would stagnate, and the nulgon would probably be In chaos and panic. For one thing, the congress would not niuke a move to name tlie President for more than three months after election day. No move can be made until It Is officially found that the electoral college hae failed to name a President. This would nut be until three weeks before the date on which the present administration dies. Would Thwart tha People's Will. In the Interval between election, on November 4, and February 11 next, when tha formal report of the electoral college la made, there would be doubt and confusion, stagnation of business and Industry, disruption of labor and transportation in a word, chaos. The only outcome of the election being thrown Into the congress, which seeuia at all likely to political observers, la that a man would be named for President and assume that office for whom not a single vote waa cast by the American people. That Is because the house of representatives cannot, as It la constituted, name a President, and the senate would name a vice president who would automatically become President on March 4. The present house of representatives, composed of members elected two years ago, would ballot upon tha President. Iu this balloting each stats would have but one vote. Thus, although New York may be carried by Coolidge by a million majority, Its one vote would go to Davis In the house, because two years ago 22 Democrats were elected to the house from New York and only 21 Republicans. Another thwarting of the whole basic Idea of popular government la brought alxiut by throwing the elecNew York, tion Into the congress. which four years ago, when the last federal census waa taken, had more than 10.0OO.0U0 Inhabitants, haa only the same vote In balloting for President as Nevada, then credited with a population of between 77,000 and d stand-govern- By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN S UOMITIIOLLEH JOHN ItAYMOND McCAltL a federal bu- W GEN-EltA- L reaucratic snooper" or a The brave official?" newspniicra call him both, lie may be both. But lie certainly is the latter. For he hae bearded the married maidens In their den, the Lucy Stoners In their hall. This sounds a bit mixed, but It's Just exactly what lie hae done.

Comptroller General McCarl I lawyer and be may lie right about the law In the ease. Nevertheless, here's the other side: The National Womans party haa pointed out in tha brief submitted that none of the caaes cited by Mr. McCarl has any bearing on this ease; that no alatute or court decision ealsta In any state supporting ths principle that a woman must take her husband's name; that contracts, dacrees, deeds, made la Ihe maiden name of a married woman are everywhere valid at law; that the law allows any one, man or woman, to aesume any name he or she chooses. The casus belli, so to sieuk. Is the case of a nurse In St. Klizulieth'a hospital, under the Interior department, who married last summer and refused hue-ban- d. In-Ii- to change her nuine on the lioepltul payroll. I'reiiumuhly the amount Involved la not atnggering, but Juat Imagine what the totals would run to If every Lucy Stoner defies Comptrol- ler General McCarl! For exumple, theres Mrs. Helen Hamilton Gurdener, who Is, according to the Congressional Directory, one of the three civil service commissioners and receives $5,000 a year. But n that and Justly famous collection of autobiographies, Who's Who," says that Helen Hamilton Gardener (no biro.") has been the wife of Col. Selden Alden Pay, U. 8. A well-know- since 1001. Gardener or Nevertheless, Helen Hamilton Gardener or Mra Day should know what she la doing, for she's a graduate (1872) of the Ohio State Normal school. She has spent many years In travel In 20 countries, collecting pictures and data on social She's a memami political conditions. In Washington, New York, ber of London, 1'uria and Home. She's the author, since 1800, of six works. She's a member of the executive board, vice president and vice chairman of the rougreuslonal committee of the National American Woman Suffrage association. And, Anally, site was appointed to the civil service commission lu 1020 the first woman menilier. Is It' likely that a womun of her experience and official position would take $410.00 every month from Uncle Sam contrary to law? McCarl certainly la right as to the domicile part of the law, aa he lays It down. And here's a pathetic ease that proves It: Miss Doris Stevens was pernmnent chairman of the recent election conference of the Nationnl Woman's party, at which tlie delegates decided to cut loose from the whole tribe of mule pollt leans, to elect 100 women to congress this fall and to establish a woniHii'a bloc In the house. The delegates begged and Implored Miss Ihiria Stevens to he one of those 100 randhlates. And (hat Insistent demand brought out this pitiful story: It appears that Miss Ports Stevens in private life Is Mrs. Dudley Field Malone; that Mr. Malone had established a legHl residence In laris; that Paris wii Therefore her legal residence; Hint slie and her husband had been restored to Americun citizenship but hud not resided long enough in tlielr American home to have even a vote. Of course, this law is one which Mrs. and of the port of New York, 1013-1resigned aa a public protest agalurt the failure of President Wilson and hla administration to urge and paaa the woman suffrage amendment." And who are the Lucy Stoners? Why, tha members of the Lucy Stone league, of course. The league la composed of married women who refuse to take their husbands names. It was organized In 1021, and haa Its headquarters In New York city. Ita president Is Ruth Hale of New York d and Ruth Hale haa been Mra Broun since 1917. Its secretary Is Jane Grant it haa been printed that she la the wife of Harold Ross, editor of Judge. But why the Lucy 8tone" league? Probably Lucy was our very first woman rights" woman. Elisabeth Cady Stanton, Susnn B. Antfiony, Julia Ward llowe and tha other mrly leaders used to say that Lucy "first really stirred the nations heart on the subject of woman's wrongs." Anyway, Lucy waa the first American to hang on to her own name after marriage. At thirty-seveyears of ago lie married In 1855 Henry B. Black-wel- l, a Cincinnati merchant and Abolitionist, brother of the famous Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-101who opened tho medical profession to Hey-woo- n women. Lucy Stone (1818-03- ) early determined to get a real education. Why? Well, when she talked "equal rights fur women" somebody was always quoting texts from tho Bible against it. Therefore she decided to get a college education so ahe could read tho Bible In the original and see If those texts were correctly translated. Lucy wai graduated from Oberiln In 1847. Evidently ahe had found the translations of tliose texts all wrong, for thnt ss me year she delivered from her brothers pulpit' at Gardner, Mass., tho very first lecture on woman's rights. The next year she lectured In New England, the West" and Canada for socithe Massachusetts ety also on woman's rights. Aftei her marriage she became still more energetic. In 1S09 she founded, with Julia Ward How, the American Woman Suffrage association which Inter merged with the National Woman Suffrage association. It took these devoted women and their successors 51 years to obtain the suffrage by constitutional amendment. The Lucy Stoners seem to be getting along fairly well aside from Comptroller General McCarl. They can get life Insurance In some companies. They have little trouble with realtors and with landlords, with butcher and baker and candlestlckniaker. The postmaster general Is Indifferent and the income tax people don't give a But liotelkeepers are a bit whoop. nervous. The State department says when It cornea to passports that they can use their husbands' names or stay at borne. And of course the mothers lnvarlnbly say, my married daughter, Mrs. ment 78,000 people. How It Would Go In the Senate. The situation In the senate la practically the same. There, of course, tho balloting is for vice president, and the balloting la done Independent of the house action. There la thla differTlie house votes for ence, however. the three candidates receiving the highest vote in the electoral college, whereas the senate la limited to voting for the tan highest candidates doubtless General Dawes and Charles W. Bryan. Hut In the senate, too, regardless of the population of the several states represented, each state has the vole of its two senators, and a hare majority 40 Is necessary to name ihe new vice president. Here, again, Nevada Is as Strong as New York, and New Mexico as strong aa Anti-Slaver- y Ohio. ; I j : In the senate each senator haa a vote, rather than each state, and aa there are two senators for eseh state, the majority necessary to a choice of a vice president la 40.

When lie sailed for France he was a major; when he returned he waa a lieutenant colonel. Much lay between.

J WORKMENS Thus another of the fumnus American fortunes is In process of dissipation by Its heirs. The great heap of money piled up by the late Hetty Green during a lifetime devoted all but exclusively to the task of accumulating wealth has been attacked, almost on a steam shovel scale, by her son, Edward Howland Robinson Green, who during the past few years Is reputed to have spent hundreds of thousands of vocation the developdollars on what began aa a hobby and haa become ment of the possibilities of radio. He has the largest private wireless station In the United State, end la now erecting still more buildings for extensive experiments. Light results of experimentation with the velocity of light conducted by him lust zuiiimpr at Mt. Wilson observatory In California. Tlie outcome, he said, waa very promising." The problem was to reduce uncertainty as to the number of miles light travels In one second of time. Doctor Mlchelson explained that thus far the average speed given by various methods of measurement was 186300 miles a second, the uncertainty being a matter of 20 or 30 miles, and the goal a reduction of tlila uncertainty to one mile. He soya the velocity of light Is one of the most fundamental of the constants of nature, and thla alone would Justify tlie attempt to measure it with the highest possible precision. Two weeks will be needed by Professors Mlchelson and Henry G. Gale to test the Einstein theory of relativity by means of their elaborate apparatus which Is neuring completion at Clearing, III. The apparatus consists of a rectangle of water pipe 1,800 feet long by 1,200 feet wide; an ore light which will flush two beams of light around the pipe In opposite directions; sets of mirrors to relay the light beams around the pliie, and an air pump to create a vacuum in the pipe. If no difference In the time of the rival beams la perceived, It will he apparent that light la not affected by the earth's rotation ; or. In other words, that the "ether" rotates with the earth.
