PARTIES SET FOR EMERGENCY
What Happens If a Candidate
Dies Before November Election?
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington W A grim
thought but practical: What hap
pen! if one of the presidential
or vice-preaidential candidates
dies before election day next No
vember? Chance for an accident may be
greater thia year. The candl
datei are going to campaign by
plane ai well ai train.
A fatal accident to one of them
- would leave nil party without a
nominee unless a successor could
be picked before election day.
Democrats and republicans
have been thinking of this for
years, and doing something about
It.
Before each campaign they
make arrangements to protect
, themselves, just in case.
The two parties' plans for such
n event are similar dui noi
Identical.
THE DEMOCRATS
While the delegates to the
Democratic National Convention
every four years name the par
ty's two candidates. Just before
closing they take out insurance
by voting to continue a rule
adopted long ago.
The rule says that if either of
the candidates dies before elec
tion day the Democratic Na
tional Committee will pick some
one in his place. This committee
106 men and women from the
states and territories runs the
party between conventions.
THE REPUBLICANS
The republican convention del
egates, after making their pres
idential and vice-presidential
1. The Republican National
Committee can do it. It has 138
men and women members from
the states and territories.
2. Or, this committee can call
another national convention, if
it wants to and If there is time
to do so before election day.
The committee members, most
all of them, would probably
want instructions from their
states or territories on how to
vote. This might cause a bit
of a mess.
Neither party has made pro
vision for instruction of com
mittee members by their state
organizations. They'd have to
work this out by themselves.
In 1912 James Sherman, vice
presidential candidate on the
republican ticket headed by
President Taft, died on Saturday
before election day. The repub
licans had no time to reploce
him. It didn't matter much.
They lost.
In 1860 the democratic party
split in two; one faction called
itself the Independent Demo
crats the other the Democrats.
The former nominated Stephen
A. Douglas for president and
Benjamin Fitzpatrick for vice
president Fitzpatrick declined the nomi
nation. The Independents' Na
tional Committee then named
Herschel V. Johnson as vice
presidential candidate. That was
the year the other half of the
party,-calling itself Just the
Democrats, picked J. C. BrecK-
enridge for president and Jo-
rhnin vrv fnnr veara. vote to seph Lane vice-president.
have a replacement made this It was also the year the re
way If death overtakes one of i publicans won with Abraham
their candidates: Lincoln.
