They are willing to admit, for example, that the electoral college acaompllshei no good purpose at present, pui they fear that If the presidential and vlce-prenldsntlal elector are don away with, some day it ma) be proposed to have a nation-wide lection for the chief executive without state line being taken In to consideration. Eliminate Electoral OnUoge The propossl now is to eliminate the electoral college and retain the electoral vote of the elates tor president and - vice-president, o that each state would have th earns voice In deciding th presi dential contest aa at present. That I th provision of th Norrl reso lution proposing to amend tha con stitution, which waa recently re ported favorably to the Senate from th committee on agriculture. Tha electoral college, aa things stand today, la In a measure a myth. It doe not really select tbe president and vloa-praldantulng it own Judgment, as waa intend ed by the framer of th eonntltn tlon. Each of the electors la con sidered pledged ' to vote for tha party candidate on wnose ucicei hi nam waa placed. Nor doea th electoral college ever meet. Th elector chosen In the, various state do meet on a certain day following their selection, and oast tha ballot for president and vioe-prealdent which. In turn, are duly forwarded to Washington to be canvassed by Congreea. No mention of an elec toral college 1 made In the consti tution, though provision 1 mad for presidential and vice-presiden tial electors. Suppose that the electors, after kelng chosen at tha poll, should take tha bit tn their teeth and nominate for president some other men than the candidates nominated by the party on whose ticket that had run. under the constitution there 1 no way to prevent their doing thl very tiring. Merely be cause It has never been done Is nt. guarantee that it will never ; be done. Such action might make It "inconvenient'' for " the electors to return horn after taking the cus tomary Jnnket to Washington with the "returns." Thl Is -on of the reasons, whv men like Senator Cummins, of towa. favor abolishing tha electoral college. The Old System Prior to 180 the member of the electoral east their ballots for presi dent ana tn man who received the highest number elected, while the man who received the second highest number was elected vice-president. Under thl svstem It was possible for a president to along to on party and a vice- president to another. But now they cast their ballots for both offices and vote for their party ticket. The demand that the electoral college be eliminated Is not a new one. The late Senator John F. Shftfforth, .of Colorado, democrat. In 1917, offers a resolution pro posing a constitutional amendment for thla purpose . it waa very like the Nortis resolution of today, ex cept that. It coupled with the pro posal to eliminate the electoral col lege and advance the. date of Inau guration of the president and meet ing of congress a proviso that a president ahould be restricted to on termv. and that term for six- years instead of the four-year term. The movement to limit a president to a single term, whether of four or six years, haa fathered soma mo mentum 'In recent years. There is a popular belief that it would result I in better administration of the gov- etnment's sffalrs In the interesfof economy and efficiency and that there would be an elimination of much political log-rolling for a second term, of th cruelties inflicted upon him.
