Two young men STOOD in the office of

The Electoral Cnllepe

The electoral college was created
before the days of national conven-
tions, when each state was supposed
to make its own choice and a con,
ference of the representatives of each
state was necessary to determine the
choice of the whole. The electoral
college recognizes the individuality
of states in this way. The only prac.
tical benefit of the system now is
that in case of the death of a candi-
date voted for at the election, as in
the case of Horace Greeley in 1872,
there is somebody charged with
power to select another man. If
Horace Greeley had been the major
ity candidate, the members of the
college would have chosen the presi-
dent.-Buffalo News.
