It is aid by the fair directors, that is by the members of the State Board who have the management In charge, that during the last IS years rain has fallen but three times on the first Mon day ia September. Labor day. So when this early date was fixed for this year's event It was hoped good weathes would be struck. However, it Is the general feeling among the members of the board that the fair should open an nually on Labor day and the Legisla ture should pass a law to that effect. By making it a fixed event the board would be relieved of much worrlment, and the other lesser fairs would not have to await the promulgation of the State Fair dates before fixing their own, as is now the case.

Swtlzerland, Sept. 2. Th proposition of Count Leopold von Berchtold. the Austro-Hungarian For eign Minister, that autonomy be grad ually given all the European provinces of Turkey, has spurred Turkey to has ten the unofficial negotiations ior peace with Italy which are in progress in Switzerland. The Turkish delegates to the peace conversations" repeatedly have in sisted upon the abrogation of the law passed by the Italian Parliament last February, annexing Tripoli to itaiy, ana advanced the proposition that the gov ernment of Tripoli be entrusted nom- nallv to a prince appointed by the but ton, but chosen by Italy. Among those urged by Turkey for this office Is Car aman All Pasha, a descendant of the ancient rulers of Tripoli, who is mayor of the city of Tripoli, now controlled by Italians. The Italian Premier. Signor Giolittl, has steadfastly refused to concede this point, as he also has done on the prop osition that Tripoli be given to Italy, but that Cyrenaica remain nominally Turkish. Signor Giolittl asserted that the en tire question between Turkey and Italy must be settled according to' the de sires of Italy or the war between the two countries will continue.

OREGONIAN" NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Sept. 2. It is quite within the bounds of possibility that the Presi dential election next" November will be abortive, and that another Presidential election may have to be called next year. This possibility was clearly pointed out in an article published in the North American Review in an ar ticle by Colonel Harvey, and the same possibility has also been pointed out In these dispatches. Briefly, the possibility arises from the fact that there are three Presi dential tickets In the field, and in con sequence of that fact, neither Taft nor Wilson nor Roosevelt may have a ma jority of the electoral college. Such a situation is likely to ensue if Roose velt succeeds in making heavy inroads in the Democratic voting strength in November. The failure of any candi date to secure 266 votes in the elec toral college would throw the election Into the House of Representatives the present House, and under the Con stltution each state would . have one vote, if the House should be called upon to choose a President. But as the House Is now constituted, 22 states have Democratic majorities. 22 have Republican majorities, and four states, Maine, Nebraska, New Mexico and Rhode Island, have evenly divided dele gations, and the conclusion Is reached that the House would be at a dead lock, and be unable to choose a Presi dent. Majority Required In Senate. ' In such event, under the Constitu tion, the Senate would then proceed to elect a Vice-President, the choice rest ing between the two candidates re ceiving the largest vote in the elec toral college, each Senator having one vote.t But the Constitution requires that to elect a Vice-President, a ma jority of the entire Senate must vote for the successful candidate. An ex amination of the figures would seem to indicate that this could not be done. Should the Senate also be deadlocked the Secretary of State. Mr. Knox, would act as President after March 4 next and would be required to call a special session of Congress, which in turn would call another Presidential election, and Mr. Knox would continue to act as President until a President was chosen. This situation opens up many inter esting prospects. While there is al ways the possibility that none of the three candidates may have a major ity of the electoral college, there is a possibility a remote possibility that some of the electors may be tampered with between the time of their elec tion and the time of casting their votes for President. But if the electoral college does deadlock, and .the elec tion goes into tne Mouse, iait, vvuson or Roosevelt would have to . get 25 votes to secure the Presidency; in other words, get three of the four states that now have evenly divided delegations in the House. Could this be done? Compromise Is Possible. It might, and -in one of two ways; members of the divided delegations might be induced to resign, thus break ing the deadlock, or the divided dele gations, rather than give the Senate a chance to elect the next president, might consent to vote according to the popular Presidential vote In their respective states in November, but any such transaction as this could only result in the election of Woodrow Wilson, for he, as the Democratic can didate, would be assured the support of the 22 Democratic states, while the 22 Republican states will be divided as between Taft and Roosevelt. Of course, under the Constitution, the House will have until March 4 to elect a President if the electoral college does not elect, and some solution might be worked out before that date arrives. But In any event, the House would be obliged to choose from among the three candidates now in the field; it could not take up a compromise candidate. Assuming the House should also fall to elect, what is the situation in the Senate? That body today consists of 44 Democrats. 50 Republicans and two vacancies, one left by Lorimer, and one in Colorado, where the Legislature failed to elect a successor to the late Senator Hughes. Under the Consti tution, the Senate, in electing a Vice President, who would then become President, Is confined to the two can didates receiving the highest vote in the electoral college; it might be Mar shall and Sherman or it might be Mar shall and Johnson: the electoral col lege would determine that. But the Senate could only elect a vice-presi dent by a vote of 49, and the question arises, would that be possible? Insurgents Hold Balance. It Is doubtful if any Republican would vote for Marshall, and It is mor. ally certain that at least three, and possibly four or five Insurgents would refuse to vote for Sherman. It tne Republican party were not divided, .the problem would be simple, but this di vision adds Interest to the speculation. For out of a total Republican strength of 50, Sherman could count on not more than 47 votes, for Senators Dixon, Poin- dexter and Clapp would most certainly refuse to support him. and that would end his chances. If he should be second high man in the electoral college. On the other hand, if Johnson should run ahead of Sherman, many Republican Senators would refuse to vote for him, and his election is out of the question. The most the Roosevelt Senators could do would be to absent themselves, and thus prevent any election, and that would bring on a special election next year. Roosevelt partisans nave been great ly elated over this prospect of another Presidential election, and have figured out that Taft would not again be nomi nated by the Republicans, but rather that Roosevelt would be accepted gen erally as the Republican and National Progressive candidate. It probably is true that lr this long process, above outlined, fails to result in the election of a President, Mr. Taft would not be renominated, for it would have been demonstrated that be cannot be elected, but would not the same be true of Mr. Roosevelt as well? New Candidate Ia Possible. At any rate, there is no reasonable ground for supposing that the Repub lican party would turn to Roosevelt, but rather would do what was attempt ed at Chicago, nominate a new can didate, say Justice Hughes, Governor Hadley. Senator Cummins or' even Senator La Follette. For it is.- to be remembered that there are now three parties In the field, and a long-fought battle ending ottom s Out E ntirely N ow!!

Then, in the next campaign. Woodrow Wilson, who would be again the Democratic stand ard-bearer in all likelihood, would face Colonel Roosevelt for the second time, snH a new Republican candidate oi decided Progressive persuasion, and one to whom no campaign blight at taches. How would tne coionei rare in such a fight? Would he' be able to hold his strength as against Hughes or Hadley or Cummins or La Follette, all of whom are Republicans, but all of whom are as earnestly and practi cally progressive as the Colonel? The answer to that question might solve the Presidential problem. All of which is submitted as pure speculation, and not at all in the sense of prediction.
