ferent election days. In 1845, Congress passed a law setting the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November as presidential election day. November was selected as the most acceptable month.

“Harvesting is over then and winter has not yet made i the roads impassable,’M said Ohio Representative Alexander Duncan in writing the 1845 law.

It was felt that election day shouldn’t be the first of November because businessmen like to make out accounts that day. Public sentiment was against Sunday voting. Monday was ruled out because many persons lived a day’s journey from polling places and objected to Sunday travel.

Thus the present election day was chosen. It never falls on the first nor later than November 8. □
