The Dallas newspapers ar having
more to say of th.- building of an in-
terurban between Sherman an'
Gainesville.
This is from yesterday's Dallas
Tlnies-Ueralii:
.1. 1.. White, treasurer of the Re-1 ( onnecticut
putilic Trust company of Ifallas, lias 11ndawate
returned rum tin inspection U'P 11'lo-lda
over the proposed inlernrban line
from Sherman to Gainesville via
Wltitesboro and Collinsville and
Sadler. The proposed line is to tie
thirty-eight miles in length and
will traverse a section of territory
lying between the Texas and Pacific
and Katy railways which, at the
piesent time is practically devoid of
transportation facilities. Thei Re-
public Trust company lias , under-
taken to underwrite the construc-
tion of this lin“. The project wa;
started first about three years ago
and thirteen miles of grading was
done and the entire right of way
acquired This grade and right of
v.ay lias been taken over by the Dal-
las Trust company.
Mr. White, on his inspection trip,
was accompanied by John Wall. W.
R. (treats. W. C. Kit honk and Judge
A. L. Wolfe.' All of the above,
in connection with C. it. Dorchester
of Sherman, are leading spirits in
the construction of the line. Mr.
White says that if the road is con-
structed it wilt be entirely independ-
ent of any other interurban line
now operating in Texas.
“In my opinion the road should
be a paying proposition front the
stait," said .Mr. White. "It would
ttTtverse a section) of the country
as rich as there is in Texas, but
which has-very little accommoda-
tions in tlie way of transportation.
The entire citizenship of that sec-
tion is friendly to the enterprise,
and we will have the hearty co-
operation of all residents in that
part of tlte state. Besides this jola|
proposition we have under consid-
eration the building of a lint- front
Anna to Greenville."
The Republic Trust company of
Dallas was organized several
months ago arid is operating tinner
a hhartor granted in Arizona. Its
authorized capital stock Is $.">,000,-

lias already been placed. The offic-
ers are (\ L. Wakefield.' president.

siderable capital is required.

The following is front this morn-
ing's- Dallas News;
That if actual conditions hear out
present indications Republic Trust
Company of Dallas will finaco an in-
terurhan line between Sherntan amt
Gainesville is the statement made
yesterday by J. L. White, treasurer
of live company, Mr. White lias just
returned from a nip over the pro-
posed line, tie said: "It looks like
we will build'the road, hut I can
not say this positively. If the present
Indications are borne out I believe
the' road will be constructed. We
will se'nd an engineer to go over
the proposed line witltin the next
few days and when his report ts
mad » we will be in better r baim
then to say just what will of wit!
not bo done.
'“Republic Trust Company, in the
event the decision is made to build
the road, will furnish the eapital,. It
will be necessary for us to organize
a corporation to construct, the road."
The line Is to be thirty-eight miles
in engtli and will connect, Sherman
and Gainesville via Whiteshoro and
Calisbnrg. About three years ago an
eflort was made to construe this
line and thirteen miles of the pro-
posed right of way was brought to
;3> 1 per cant grade. Mr. White said
this has been acquired by himself
and associates and that the . entire
tight of way is practically under
.contract. Mr. White adne*: “If
the road is constructed by us it will
be entirely independent of any other
'iiTerttrhan project. My 1 investiga-
te'mis lead me to believe that suon
a line would pay almost from at?
start, as it would etu a district of
ttie state which Is very rich and
which has not at this time proper
transportation facilities. People
nlongGhe proposed line are very an-
xious for the ropd to be built and
It is my opinion that they will lend
hearty encouragement.'

littei we have under consideration tho
(onstTnctiOn or a line front Anna to
Greenville. ’
C. L. Wakefield, president of
Republic Trust Company, saiil no
hat! nothing to add to Mr. White’s
statement except to say that'\ hU
Washington. I). ('.. Nov. .4. - The
next electoral college will consist of
•,;t1 members, which means that th«*
r mdida'e for president at today's
elect Ion, if successful, must recei ve
at least L’t'.ti electoral votes. Politi
cal observers are now asking what
will happen if none of the three
lending candidates for the presiden-
cy President Talt. Colonel Roose-
velt, and Governor Wilson receives
tlie necessary majority of tlie elec-
toral vote.
The law provides that the selec-
tion of a president under these con-
ditions shall he‘thrown into the
house of representatives. Tlte elec-
lion of a president was thrown Into
tlie house in Ibnl, and the compli-
cation which then aro-’O resulted in
the Twelfth Ametidmt'it; of tlie Con-
stitution, which covers the contin-
gency which many persons Ihink may
agitin arise as a result of today's elec-
tion. It provides that the Electoral
Colleges shall meet and ballot in
their respective states: that they
shall prepare iisls showing how they
have voted, which Shall be trans-
mitted to the federal capital and
opened in a session of the two
houses of congress b> the president
of the senate: that the votes shall
then be.counted; that the person
having the greatest number of elec-
toral voles, If it be a majority, shall
be president, and that if there bo
tto such person the voting slut'll take
place in the house of representatives
and by slates.
Then comes the interesting pos-
sibility that the house may not tie
able to elect. Tlte states in the
house are equally divided politically,
although the present congress is
democratic by numbers. In twenty-
two states the majority of the dele-
gation is republican and in an equal
number of states tin* majority is
democratic. ' Then there are font-
state where the delegation is equally
divided, and Inasmuch its cat'll state
1S entitled to one vote only, no votes
could be 'cast in these four states.
This situation would make it im-
possible for the house to elect un-
less there should be a combination
between the Taft men and the dem-
ocrats, on the one hand, or the
Roosevelt men and the democrats, on
the other.
If the house remained tied there
would be no election. The senate
would chose a vice president and’ he
would act as preside nt. As the sen-
ate stands tliete are th teipublican
Icenat'ors, 41 democratic senators and
Hire# vacancies,, one each in Colo-
ado, Illinois and Idaho. The vacan-
c'-w will probably he filled l>v state
