SHALL WE CHANGE
THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM?
For a lona time there has been dissatis
faction in many in,, tvrs with the elec
toral system by wi a tlu Ur<it«d State:-
selccts its pro•••;.:■ u. Tin- IVamcrs of the
Constitution i, ' t u tended tin i s.-.ould
work 'h • ■ v :y it dues now, but til at is a
I ig, .biv i <. not be gone r.tu at
this t.i • a; in this space.
The i.\ nil amenta! objection to the sys
tem as it now operates is that the elec
lival vote' does not necessarily reflect
tlie will of the people- because which
e\et* candidate receives the highest num
bei of popuar votes in' a state almost,
wii -out exception recei\es all the elec
toral vote of that state. (The electoral
val 1 ■ ol* each state is the sum of the num
her of representatives which it is enti
tled in the lower house of Congress, plus
two for its senator.-.)
Obviously the electoral system as it at
p: ent wicks does not refect truly the
v..1. of the people. A candidate aught
ca a state' like New York with a plu
ra. r of only 1,000 votes over his princi
pa opponent, if there are only two can
di .tom and yet receive the 17 electoral
v of the state to none for his oppon
c.s i there are three candidates the man
v. would get all -17 electoral votes
,t well be one who received subsian
\ fewer popular votes than his two
onetfU combined, even if one of these
i meats received only a small popu
vote. Thus Truman lost Connecticut
n, >ewe>- very probaby because W allace
w:.:. in the running;.
fadents of the political scene have
ocateu two tiki event remedies for this
sk .uon. One is to abolish the electoral
v-wege and let the president be dele?*
nm.ed by the total national popular
vote, disregarding completely stale lines.
flic argument for this procedure is that
the president is the president of the Unit
o*-.j States and not of the several states
.--.yoavan.-iy, and that tin will of the peo*
pk-* ns a whole should determine the
election. But we are wedded to the fed
eral system, and the small states would
m want to concede to the great, popu
lous states the privilege of determining
by their great populations which w a y
p; evidential elections would go.
The otlurr proposal,, introduced into
C--tigress some time ago as the Lodge
tlosset proposed amendment to the Con
stitution, would retain the electoral sys
tem, but. would divide the electoral votes
in each in proportion to the popular vote
for each candidate, i his would mean
th vt when two candidates received an al
m- st equal number of popular votes in any
slate they would each receive suhstanti
a :y an equal number of-that state’s elec
ts al votes; or in a state having 21 dec
al votes, for example, if the popular
vote was three to one the top candidate
v- tuld receive 18 votes, but the other one.
would get six.
An interesting news story by Leslie
i" rpenter, of the News and Observer s
Y, ashington bureau, appeared recently
in the local daily, which told how senti

desperate necessity of carrying these cru
cial states in which the Negro vote does
eoncededly have the balance of power in
closes'contests, and ’.hat alone, which dic
tated the President’s civil rights stand
and message to Congress
The matter of changing the election,
procedure should be considered on its
over-all merits, and some change appar
ently is really needed in the interest; of
a more fair and accurate reflection of
the will of the people in presidential
election.-,. But whomw or the souther it de
legation in Congress show anything ap
proaching unanimity on an issue one may
be sure that there is a proverbial colored
gentleman in the- woodpile. According to
Mi Carpenter's article the southerners,
are behind the proposed change because
it would undermine the possible decisive
power of the Negro vote in northern and
border states. Wheihei they have an.,
other basis, or most of them, f'-r i hei. in
terest ir not indicated.
We prefer the 1 ysh-m which would abol
ish the electoral college altogether a n d
elect the president by a national plurality,
but there •-norm. In- little probability tlu-,*
suet; a measure could be adopted. W e
would advocate as an aiternative the
same mea-aire behind which the southern
congi cs-cnc-n are iining op. provided the
•suffrage of Yogruer is giu-uv.nteed ami
protected in e\ciy state, i-or should this
be rite case, in the- end the power ol the
Negro vote would be greatly enhanced
throughout the nation a.- a w hole- instead
of reduced. We wonder if Hu southerners
have realized that fact, or d t nev are
counting on keeping 1 h e southern
tic ns. If the latter, they should realize
i};at it would not be too easily accom
plished, what with trends being as they
it, has always been more difficult to
bm Negro- s from presutehtial elections
In.au from primaries.
Under a system of divided electoral
votes, the Negroes in southern states
could help resurrect the h puma an put • -
if they wished, and their vote would
count in every presidential election,
whereas the Solid South system rests
squarely on the present electoral scheme
-giving all electoral votes to the hirh can
didate:-. Negroes in several states oi the
South could even operate a Negro patty,
should they be so foolish, which might
be more effective than tne Dixieerat
party m the election past.
In other words the Negro vote, taking
the nation as a whole, might be much
more influential under a proportional
electoral vote ssytem than it is now.
Incidentally we have still to st e in any
important publication of general circu
lation an aeknowiedm-m.mt oi the lad
that, Truman could not have been elected
without the Negro vote, especially m the
crucial states, be earned. But then* r-,
one may be sure, tacit, recognition of 'lie
situation, and the southerners’ new in
terest in changing the electoral svdem
is certainly an indication oi it.
EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES
A lot of people have thought of the.
Ku Klux Klan as being a bigoted group,
fostering religious and racial prejudice
and guilty of persecution of certain peo
ple who differed from its members in
color or creed. All those, people having
such ideas about the Ku Klux Klan are
wrong. Eor net less a personage than in.
Green, the eminent toooth dentist of At
lanta.. and Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux
Klan, has declared it to be “the most
Christian organization in existence.” And
who knows more about the Klan than Dr.
Green ?
We hope all those who have previous
ly harbored misconceptions as to tne na
ture of the organization will please re
vise their opinions. It is a shame that the
most Christian of al! organizations should
be so misunderstood as to be thought un
desirable and unworthy by so many mil
lions of well-meaning but ignorant Amer
icans.

The particular article had refer

such a Stadium.

keep you posted as to develop

jng their own problem:-, they
could prow th- .sincerity by
sio better method than that pro
posed by the Southern Confer
ence Educational Fund that
of repealing laws that make in
vidious distinction-, based on
color, laws always working t >
fin* disadvantage of those whose
color i:- black. But what south
-rn state or community has
ever repealed on its own initia
tive such a law? What one ac
tually sees, on the contrary, in
t ase after case, is bitter resis
tance to the correction of in
' unities by the federal courts
on the .basis of the Negro’s
< laims as a cutzen of the Unit
ed States.
,‘V to the other part of the
recommendation the psssm?;
- ■!" new legi/dation to serv-- a
a shield to- tic civil igiita at
citizens -that is a field all
imp. untouched in the South for
300 years. Practically every K--
igslativf- measure touching on
thing--, lacial or inter-racial has
ix-on one to curtail rather than
promote in the direction of
equality the rights and privi
leges of Negro citizens.
The South’s contention that
law cannot solve racial prob
lems is a one-sided contention
IV. the South .has in the past
exhibited great faith in the ef
ficacy of law.;. The trouble ha-,
been that the Saws enacted have
been by far, for the most part,
la ws to undermine the rights of
Negroes as citizens and the dig
nity of Negroes as hr hirers in
the human family.
indy FOUR PI’R CENT of
the national mchtte Incidentally,
it is generally reported that what
money Neg ro colleges get from
Negroes comes from the masses—
that element, in the race last able
to give.
We are told that wealthy phil
anthropists arid philanthropies! or
ganizations are giving less and less,
each yee” to Negro Colleges. On
’he other hand the Southern States
are rapidly increasing their ap
propriations to their Negro public
colleges. Moreover, federal aid to
public education in the near future
seems to be a fore gone conclusion.
This aid certainly will result in
more money, directly nr indirectly,
being* appropriated to public high
er education.
As this writer sees it, there is
only otic way out for Negro pri
vately owned colleges, other than
an inglorious death, namely, the
large number of Negro colleges
will have to be combined or merg
ed into a smaller number. 1 be
lieve this can be accomplished in
spite of denominational interest.
There is no such a thing as Bap

to plunge because of the waiting hand.- of' his little pursuers are

seeking to avoid the pitfalls of a third arm< d conflict, in HO years.
But can the basic strain of inherent perceptibility regain

There only one reply, and it is purely negative. The Power

- is ejinm-oriiplace for nations to blindly convert, their ambitions
mto aggressive expansion without mutual environmental con

not a new element in the conception of men. The control of
power mis always carried on a tryst, with civilization, and each
pare in the history of generations, found it m >re subtle in its
destructive efforts to dominate then, the preceding’ one.
Today , in a modern world where industrialization is the watch
word, it ha.: progressed to a point when it mirsc? on a rapid grow -
ing weal of precept’- founded on a pc it id ions idea of an evolu

The best theories for international appeasement are at this
moment, limping under a gruelling test of criticism, for hypo

Only one hope stands ready to head off a catastrophe. It is
