All thin ralaea an Intereatlng (even If grim and tragic) question. If Ike ahould die before hla Inauguration, who would aucceed Inni? This seem to be the answer: If hla death ahould occur before tile electora meet caal their bal iola and declare him elected, the procedure of the electoral college would revert lo the method pre scribed by the consltiutlon. The electors would meet and each - would vote for- A CANDIDATE. The person receiving the greatest number of votes would become Prealdent, provided that feu total vote was a majority of all the elector. If no person secured a majority of all the electoral vote, the house of representatives would choose the President. Each elector could vol for whomever be chose. But If the President-elect should die AFTER the messing of til electora nd the casting of their vote de claring Mm elected, he would be considered to have been Um duly elected Prealdent and the constitu tional method of Presidential suc cession would apply. Thst Is to ssy. Vice-President Nixon would become President. Suppose Vice-President Nixon should die or bo assassinated ut ter becoming Prealdent? Well, in thst event, under the Presidential succession act of IBM. a s mended In 1947, the spesker of the house would aucceed to the Presidency. If HE died, the presi dent of the senste would succeed. After thst would come the mem bers of the cabinet, in the follow ing order: J Secretary of stste, secretary of I " a tresaury, secretary of defease. attorney general, postmaster gen a eisl. secretary of the Interior, secretary of agriculture, secretary of commerce, secretary of labor. fW W-'u a'S I- TWO ALTAMONT SCHOOL voungtten mak today's special.
