SATURDAY, October the 7th is the official 5 deadline in Oregon for registering ; to .vote iS the general election. If one has moved out of Wa precinct since last voting or did not vo e in the last election, he should register at he county clerk's office before closing time on the '"Thisyear, as in every year divisible by four, we as citizens have, besides the pnvelege of voting-in city, county, state and national of S the special privelcge of ercsing our right of franchise in helping to elect the chief executive of our country. To make our obligation more keenly felt, a ehort resume of just how we elect our president might be in order: We do not vote directly as individuals for our chief executive. The framers of the Constitu tion intended to remove the office of president to far as possible, from the passions of the masses. Therefore they decided that upon the shoulders of an "electoral college," the burden of electing a president should rest indirectly. This college was to be composed of as many members as there were senators and repre sentatives from the various states in congress. The original supposition was (in favor of the electoral college), that the candidates might live a long way off and the voter would not know whether he was fit or not, therefore he should not vote for him directly. Now it is at times the reverse, for we all know the candidates but at times do not know the electors. However we still use this method. Moreover, after Wash ington's two terms and since political parties have become well defined, these electors have become political mouthpieces' so-to-speak, to vote only as their political party so directs. Each state is entitled to as many electors in this college as it has representatives and sena tors, Oregon this year having six, and the total !of the states, 531 electors. The legislatures of eacrr state used to choose the electors. Grad Tuilly this power was delegated to the individual voters of the state because it was deemed more democratic In spirit. This is done in all states by the use of a general state wide ticket. States As Units ABOUND June or July of a "presidential" year each political party nominates a can didate for the presidency. At about the same lime the political parties in each state, as the state legislatures permit, nominate the quota of electors to which the state is entitled. These candidates are voted for on the first Tuesday, following the first Monday in November in every year divisible by four, in each state. In this election the political party's electors which receive more votes than the electors of any other political party, win all of the electoral votes entitled to that state. A cursory checkup of the total election results of the nation by atates generally spells to us the winning candi date. However, there are some interesting "Ifs" to consider. About a month after the general election (December), these winning electors gather usually at the statehouse, sign and cast their votes in favor of their party's candidate, and are sent by registered mail to the President of the Senate in Washington. On the 6th of January the senate president opens the ballots in the. presence of a joint session of congress and declares the candidate elected who gets a majority (266) of the electoral votes. Now IP no candidate receives a majority of the votes, the whole- issue- is tossed into the lap of the lower house. - Each state has one vote. Balloting proceeds on the three leading candidates. Here also i candidate has to have a majority of the votes to win which is 25 in number. IF neither, receives a majority of these votes by Jan. 20th next, the vice president is inaugurated as presl- MALLON dent.. Of course this is only a bare possibility and a remote probability. Two presidential elections have gone to tho house for final dis position and election of candidates. The above is an interesting sidelight and con cerns us definitely as we all have this priyi ego of exercising the right of suffrage Voting gives each and everyone of us a real right io condone or deny, exhort or condemn a politi cal candidate, after ho attains office. Wo have then done our part, each and everyone moivm uallv. But to Vote, we must be REGISTERED. This is one of the greatest privileges we enjoy as American citizens. News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 Some of the con gressmen are coming back from their political fence mending with splinters in their hands. They arc more perplexed about the situation than I have ever known politicos to be in 25 years of reporting. It is a unique campaign. Loudest speaking effort on the democratic side is being made by tho vice presidential candidate who was repudiated for renomination, Henry Wal lace, and he is traveling, not under the auspices of the dem ocratic national committee, but various other groups. A supposedly authoritative report has been printed that the V.P. Nominee Mr. Truman himself is only to mako three more. The only one keeping pace with Wallace on the republican side is Governor Brickcr who is running against Truman, not Wallace. The top participants themselves are announc ing far fewer than the usual number of talks. Mr. Roosevelt's managers have been mentioning only one or two more, but I suspect that situa tion will shortly change. The president's favorite ghost, Robert Sher wood, has retired from the office of war infor mation to haunt the White House for the speech writing purpose. t , , Future Itinerary DEWEY'S people say his future speaking itinerary will be aimed particularly at the most closely fought, doubtful territory. Illinois, Indiana, New England and New York at mini mum will still be added to the announced list. A mid-west swing the latter part of the month is in prospect. Even so, his whole list for the campaign will be short of Willkie's. The idea of the Dewey people is that, with the odds shortening on their man every day, and the democrats neglecting the stump, there is no reason for the New York governor to talk himself hoarse. His program' las been fairly fully presented. As for Mr. Roosevelt undertaking an exten sive speaking campaign, what is there' he can say? His opening speech revealed there is not much in the way of a new constructive or in teresting domestic program he can present and the international situation is so unsettled he can hardly go into that. Many persons severely criticized his initial effort filled with ironical humor, but the limi tation' on other usual avenues of campaign modes probably forced him into that unusual vein. Mr. Sherwood will probably change that line and develop a new one. Unprecedented Situation EVEN the situation of Mr. Willkie is unpre cedented as far as I know. Here is an ex republican leader, issuing frequent statements, but so far unpledged to his party candidate. His last statement was an endorsement of the posi tions of two republican senatorial candidates for standing in favor of future treaty ratifica tion in the senate by majority vote a left wing proposal which obviously has no chance. A republican senator who has seen Willkie most recently thinks he will come out for Dewey in a statement, possibly just before elec tion. Certainly he will not vote for Mr. Roose velt or support him in any way. No wonder then that the congressmen who have dropped back to their offices for a recess visit are nursing splinters. Their local tabs coincide in general with all the published polls in the apparently unanimous agreement that the race is confused, suspiciously quiet and yet to be won or lost. In one county near here speecnes are being made every night on a charter issue with no speech yet on the presi dential situation which seems to me a sad reversal of the importance of these two matters. Plans Underway For Tax Conservation PORTLAND, Oct. 4 (IP) Rep resentatives of 11 western states' taxpayers associations laid plans today for a national organiza tion to support tax-conservation measures and develop a unified tax program. Coordinated activity, of the type now proposed on a nation wide basis, has limited real prop erty taxes in the state of Wash ington and cut the state debt down $9,983,347 to 52.574,277 in the last decade, Maj. Gen. Albert H. Beede declared. Beede, executivo committee chairman of the Washington Stfie Taxpayers' association, said unified activity of taxpayer groups was necessary to keep organized minorities" from having a ."field day." Former Residents Get Dos Polos Duty Klamath Falls friends were Interested to learn this week that three former residents who nave been stationed as instruc tors at the King City, Calif., air field, have been chosen from 32 of the large group to trans rer as instructors at the Dos Palos, Calif., field near Fresno.
