Much misinformation about the electoral
college OF lsa2 seems Co be ahoat. Now
that the President has signed the reappor-
tionment bill and IL is law there is need
for clear understanding of the situation.
Briefly II may be stated that in lsa. the
electoral college will correspond with the
increased representation in Congress For
instance Illinois will have two more
Presidential electors Nebraska three
more and SO on The college will have 44A
members, and IL will TAX 223 20 elect The

office till March I. 1873 but the unbroken
practice for nearly hundred years has
been that where the reapportionment be-
comes effective in Presidential year the
electoral college shall correspond.
The new President and Vice-Presidcnt
will come into Office March (, 1888
That is the day on which the new appor.
tionment act will also become fully opera
tive. IL appears, therefore. clear that the
existing law desiGnates the new electoral
