was chosen by the four justices.* I
It was all very non-partisan—
except that the fifth justice, the
odd man, was Joseph P. Bradley-—
A Republican. On a straight party
vote, the electoral ballots of Flo-
rida and Louisans went to Hayes
—and the others were given to
him unanimously.
This happened even though the
commission found that there had
been outright corruption in Louis-
iana—that thousands of Demo-
cratic votes had been destroyed.
This all came out at the time—but
it was simply decided that con-
gress had no legal right to check
up on the political situation in
any state. And so by indirection,
a Republican President was elect-
ed right in the teeth of both the
popular and the electoral vote.
Rutherford B. Hayes was elected,
in effect, by supreme court just-
ice Joseph P. Bradley, all by him-
the sleeves—you'll see how it was
done.
The contested electoral votes
came from four states—Florida,
Louaiana, Oregon and South Caro-
lina. The reconstruction evil still
persisted in those southern states
—and Oregon was in doubtful
political hands. Each of the four
states sent in two sets of electoral
votes. The way these double votes
were paired off, Hayes had a
slight edge-—but still not enough
to win. And in any case, congress
could not very well consider any
of the duplicated electoral votes.
You might think it would have
been easy just to send the thing
back to the states and demand an
- pectoral count from each one. But

The midterm elections this yeaT
resulted in a number of close run-
tests—three of them so close the
post-election smoke hasn’t cleared
away yet.
The atdle of Michigan, for In-
stance, i#h*t too sure yet whether
a Democrat or a Republican will
be governor January 1 st—or
whether they’ll have the issue de-
cided by then.
A re-check of the ballots has
put Democratic incumbent G.
Mennen W'illiams ahead of Repub-
lican Harry Kelley. But the Re-
publicans say they are all set to
foot, a $20,000-bill for an official
recount
In Connecticut, the close con-
test between Democratic incumb-
ent William Bento and Republican
candidate Prescott Bush for a
&k*4erm U-S Senate seat still
is 'ffli /Connecticut's highest court
—and no decision appears likely
soon.
And in New York State’s con-
gressional district, U-S represent-
ative W. Kingsland Macy still is
considering the possibility of lit-
igation in his close race with Dem-
ocrat Ernest Greenwood. A slow
recanvass of the ballots shows
Greenwood holding a lead of less
than 130 votes.

Night in Corpus Chriati Senator
Tom Connolly amid he expects
Communist Chum to “tell Russia

Connally says he wants Commun-
ist leader Mao Tae-tung to do it
in the near future.
The Senior Texas Senator spoke

cratic Administration had any-
thing to do with the failure of
Nationalist forces in China to de-

nothing to lose by demanding a
recount.
However nothing in this last
election, or in recent year’s, could
equal the most celebrated election
rhubarb in our history—a piece
of funny business that fills an
unsavory page of the book. We
may still yepeet political dirty
work, hut seldom on the magni-
ficent scale of 1876.
It was presidental election. Re-
publican Rutherford B. Hayes was
opposed by Democrat Samuel J.
Tilden, a millionaire reformer who
had becotne famous by breaking
up the Tiweed ring. In that 1876
election, Samuel J. Tilden was
elected President of the United
States, hands down.
But you may recall from school
days that there was no President
Tilden. The winner in fact was
Beaver Hayes. And that makes
our story.
When it came time to count the
electoral votes Tilden had 184 and
Hayes had only 163. Besides those,
there were 22 contested electoral
so it goes—vote counting votes—and it took 185 to win. Til-1 evenly divided. And the 15th man
Said the Senator: “The Nation-
alists never lost a battle because I
a ns us never iusi a dbiuc utviust j
of lack of arms. We supplied them j
all they needed.”
Continuing, the Senator said:
“Most of China’s forces just got
tired of fighting fpr a corrupt I
government and threw down their !
arms.”

Words can’t express the ache ;
within our hearts when won!
came that Addie had passed away. !
Addison W. Arnold was born |
May 17, 1892, at Peerless. Hej
was the son of C, S. and Mary
Arnold, who have preceded him
in death.
Addie grew to manhood around
Peerless and taught school there.
On December 25, 1913 he mar-
ried Mae Pinion. They later made
their home in Snyder. He was a*-
soeiated with the Ely Arnold and
Ely Gin at Snyder for years. He
made friends wherever he went
and was held in high esteem by
all. He was never too busy or
tired to help his fellow man and
had a smile for everybody. I don’t j
think I ever saw him when he
wasn’t smiling.
Addie gave his heart to Christ
in 1926 and joined the Baptist j
Church. He lived a Christian life
till God called him home on Oc-
tober 24, 1950. We know that our
loss is heaven gain, hut it seems
so hard to give him up now. We
know his suffering is over and
our hope is to live so we’ll meet
him again someday. He loved his
family so dearly and was so
proud of them and they of him.
God alone can wipe our tears
away, but thoae sweet memories
will always stay.
Addie was laid to rest at Sny-
der under a beautiful mound of
flowers. He is survived by his
wife and two daughters. Mrs.
Evanelle May of Midland. Mrs.
Vera Gay Wallace of Iowa Park,
three grandchildren. Arnold and
Judy Wallace and David May.
Two brothers. Hollie Arnold of
Peerless and Comps Arnold of
Antlers, Okla. — A sister-in-law.
Thelma Pinion.
