York have twelve times the power
of six hundred voters in Montana.
Then. if six hundred voters in New
York can wie.d twelve times the
power in the former state that he
does in the latter? Nor is it possible
that twelve votes cast IN Montana
can equal the vote cast in New
Pork; for the one vote touches the
election of thirty-six electors in
New York, while the twelve votes
in Montana can only affect three
electors, even if they do swell the
vote of the three more than the one
vote swells the majority of the
thirty-six. If the ballot for each
elector were cast separately, he of
Montana would vote three times,
and he of New York tbirty-six
times. Say not, then, that the
ways of this system are equal.
How a equality be secured?
1t cannot be till voters throughout
the country vote for the same
number Of electors. This requires
the election of presidential electors
by districts instead Of by states.
Slight alterations i'll state constitu-
tons will authorize this, and
nothing oppressive would result if
the National Constitution should
be made to require it. In this way
the voice of the people caN have
free expression and a voter in one
part of the Union will become equal
to a voter III any other part Of the
Union. 1t gives to every one the
right to vote for the elector of his
choice, with the assurance that his
vote will be as influential in deter
mining the composition of the
electoral body as will the vote of
any other man."
The importance Of Bishop Mer-
rill's proposition will be better
appreciated when one considers the
Immense influence Of city popula-
tons in determining the presiden-
tial vote of states. Under the dis
trict system every section of the
state would be represented by the
choice of its majority; both city
and country would be fairly treated.
Besides the district electors two
senatorial" electors would have to
be chosen, and these would be
voted for on a general state ticket.
Each voter would vote for IL dis
trjct and two senatorial" electors.
This would give, as Bishop Merrill
believes, "to every man who votes
all equal voice with every other
man throughout the Union. Mo-
