MIXING 4 PRESIDENT.

Speaker Carlisle was recently inter-
viewed on the subject of the electoral
system and declared in favor of change
in the method of choosing president.
His plan was first suggested by him to
committee of the Forty-ffth congress, of
consider this question. 1t would divide
the electoral votes of the states among
the parties on the basis of their proper
tions of the popular vote.
The speakers plan is simply an evolu-
ton of the idea of minority representa-
ton. It's logical end would be to give
min0rities proportionate representation
in every department of the government.
If that be proper and expedient then the
Democratic party has been under DELFT
sion from the time of its organization,
and the maxim that majorities should
rule should be stricken from its creed.
In 1926 senate committee was APP
pointed to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of Il
change in the electoral system. At its
itiIt us u SlutCsiiisEII W AbhO"t - pOCA I'll
his or in any succeeding generation,
Thomas H. Benton of Missouri. The
other members of the committee were
Mr.. Macon of North Ca@lina, Martin
Van Buren,, Mr.. White of Tennessee, MIR.
Findlay of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Dick
erson of New Jersey, Mr.. Holmes of
Maine, Mr.. Hayne OF South Carolina,
and Richard NJ. Johnson of Kentucky,
cchstitcting, with their chairman, the
cream Of the craftsmanship of period
which gave 10 the republic its greatest
statesmen. Ehis committee reported
unanimously a plan which contained
three features:
l. The abolition of electors, and
the direct vote of the people.
2. A second election between the two
highest on each list when no one has
majority of the whole
3. Uniformity in the mode of election.
Its purpose, as stated by Mr.. Benton,
was ''tO get rid of all the machinery by
which the selection of their two first
magistrates is now taken out of
the hands of the people, and
usurped by self-constituted, illegal
and irresponsible bodies and place it in
the only safe, proper and disinterested
hands-those of the people themselves. "
1t proposed division of the states into
districts, on the congressional plan, each
representing one vote and each voting
directly ON the candidates for president
and vice-president. In the event
that no candidate should receive
majority of all the districts,
each counting one vote, a second election
was provided for at which the names of
the two candidates receiving the highest
votes were to be balloted upon.
Whenever the country resolves to try
new method of president making, it will
be in order to consider the merits of Tom
Benton s plan.

terprising: but they were poor, and !,
being poor, they could not meet the re-
quirements of the Texas land law.
THE GAZETTE says it regretfully, but it
declares what is known by all familiar
with the situation to be fact, that, except
under the most favorable local conditions
poor men are so handicapped in an effort
TO obtain a home ON the public lands,
that an alarmingly large number of them
are endeavoring to sell their claims
There is not a land agent in the Panhan-
die who cannot supply any number of
such sections that may be desired.
The question is: What is the state 60
ing to do about it?
