WASHINGTON (NKA Kpeclnl)
Just to get our history straight
In advance of developments fol
lowing Nov. 4, Bhould election day
prove rually the beginning instead
of the end of the president till con
test, a glimpse into the situations
developing ut former deadlocked
elections may be worth while.
To date there have been three
presidential decisions thrown into
congress; in 1800, ih2i and 1X7(1,
The first of these, in isoo, was
before the enactment of the
twelfth nmendment to the const i
tutlon, which now governs , tin:
procedure of balloting for presi
dent. , At that time the electors
did not ballot separately for presi
dent and vice president, the man
getting the greatest number of
electorul voles being declared win
ner for ' president,' I he runner-up,
with the second biggest vote, be
ing named vice president. -
In the lKOO campaign, Tlioiuas
Jefferson ami Aaron Uurr were
the candidates of the original
"Republican" party, John- Adams
and Charles (. I'lnckney of the
'federalist" party. . There were
no conventions' and nA parly plat
forms, their nominations having,
been made by congressional
caucus.
Tills elect ion fell on I he same
date as the election litis year
Nov. 4. When the electors got to
get her, . however, J ef f eison a nd
Uurr received the same number of
votes, 73 each, u gainst Kfi cast for
Adams, and (4 for I'lnckney.
, There being no choice, the elec
tion was thrown Into congress,
where after a week of balloting
Jefferson finally won; Alexander
Hamilton, a Federalist leader, fin
ally throwing his Influence behind
the author of the Declaration of
Independence. . ' ,
,''.
following this Kltitaflon, the
twelfth amendment wis adopted In
1803, In the expuctutlon that It
would solve similar situations in
tbe future.
tl provided ' for the specific
designation, of candidates (or pres
ident, and vice president respec
tively, the winners to receive
majority of the vote In the elec
toral college and, in event no ma
jority resulted, for the election of
president by the House from t It
three high candidates for that of
fice, the House voting state deto
gaJ Ions as a unit.
For vice president in case of
deadlock, the amendment pro
vlded his election by the senate,
from the two highest candidates,
mi-mbers voting In the regular
way.
The first test under this schema
came In 1 n 24. Four tickets were
In the Held, headed by Andrew
Jackson, John (Juincy Adams,
Henry .Clay and William II. Craw
ford. Willi the vote thus spliti. no
cand hint o received t he requ I red
majority. Jackson led with 1
votes, Adams wns second with 84,
Crawford had 4 1 and Clay it".
When the decision came, up In the
House, on Kelt. i). I X 2 ft, Clay, who
had been eliminated as fourth
man, threw his influence behind
