change more drastlo than they
would car to support. 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.
The H mack over Invaalon, th
third event of the year, occurred
last month and resulted In th
death of J. G. Wood. 25. a Mia

shot after he had fired on a 6axty

wnue "sheeted" men who marched

gambling house, a two-story frame
structure, torn down. An exodus
of more than 2,000 people from
th region resulted. Official made
