Evitor CENTRE EMOCRAT The first battle of ballots is over and the dead and wounded lie scattered all over the battlefield. But all could not be nominated, so it had to be and so it will always be until the end of Time. But, Mr. Editor, it is a wellknown fact that we have what is known as “The Lord and Morality Party,” a party that Joses as the soldier's true frie before sod and the world. If actions speak londer than words, let us view the action of the party towards John A, Daley. an old soldier, who served his country well and faithfully for nearly four years, and who is wellknown to nearly every man woman and child throughout Centre County ag “Honest John Daley,” and who has always been found in the thick- est of the fight when the Union was be preserved, also when Republican principles Republi an supremacy were assailed.

Yours truly, “A soldier of the War.” po | na to or Te 3 r te pou of the {to : base very does Carver, of THE PRESIDENCY. At what age ‘5s a man eligible for the presidency of the United States? At thirty-five years. Must he be a native of the United States? No. But he must be what the constitution describes as “a natural born citizen,” which means that he must be born either in the United States or of parents who are citizens of the United States temporarily sojourning abroad. Will you cite an instance of a natural born citizen who was born outside the United States? Certainly. Mayor McClellan of New York, who was born in Sax- ony while his parents were visiting there, is a natural born citizen of the United States and therefore eligible to the presidency. He is a natural born American citizen because his parents were American cit: izens at the time of his birth. Is the president elected by popular vote? He is not. He is elected by a body of men called the electoral eol- lege, each member of which is called a presidential elector. By whom are the presidential electors elected? Jy the people. In each state the electors are chosen by the voters on a general state ticket. : How long is the term for which the president is elected? Four years. Is he eligible for a third term? He is. “third term tradition” which by popular demand There is no constitutional prohibition, though there is a g limits a president to two terms, and thus far this demand never has been overcome.
