contiguous territory, compact 10 form, and as
nearly equal in population as may be, and the
person having the highest number OF votes for
President in each district shall receive the vote
Of that district for President which shall count
one Presidential vote; that each State shall be
entitled to two Presidential votes at, large,
which shall be counted for the person having

election Of Vice president.
g. Congress shall have power to provide for
holding ADD conducting the election for Presl-
dent and Ice President and to establish trl-
buna!s for the decision OF CONTESTS as to the vote
in any District or State, and make regulations
governing the proceedings Of these tribunals.
| BY the adoption Of district system of voting
by the people directly for the candidates with
two Presidential votes in Stata at large, and
tie plurality rule for determining the result of
tie election, is brought near y home to the
| people as can be not to make it 40 election by
the nation as one community, and it still recog
uzos the States as such, while it enables the
people OF each district in a State TO express
their will. SO that hereafter State need not
cast solid vote, as under the present system.
1t tends 10 dispense with the convention, which
is row necessary 10 order to form an electoral
ticket for each State, and it enlarges the liberty
of the Individual votcr, who can vote for any
citizen he may select for President or Vice
| President. BY the plurality system, an cleo
ton will always be final, and there can be no
necessity for al election by the House of Rep
rrsentatiycs, which is 50 much objected to.
These are suggestions which have been con-
| >idcrcd, but Of course no conclusions could be
| a:rlvCt at.
