cording to the papers, also shows the character of the
peace required and the status of the nations afterwards.

; .he electors and not for the presidential candidate direct,
i he electors are at perfect liberty legally to vote for any
presidential candidate hut they are morally obliged, of
•nurse, to vote for their party candidate. If there are
diree electors to be chosen a voter may cast a ballot for
wWo of one party and one of another. If the majority
.ole for, let us say, Democratic electors but if enough ex
cpiional votes are east for a Republican to make him an
•ieetor that Republican can vote for the Republican presi
Tmtial candidate. In the state of Washington once the
eople who voted for all electors of a certain party ex
vpt one of the other party voted against that single man
