THERE are many features con-
nected with the present cleo.
toral system which do not seem
quite equitable. Nevada, with
$4,000 inhabitants, choose, three
electors, or one for every $4,000
people. Illinois, with over 81,
100000 inhabitants, bas one
elector for every 100000 people,.
A Nevada vote has more than
ten times the weight of an Iii.
nois vote. On the other hand.
the "odd man" in illinois de.
cides which candidate shall
have twenty-four electoral
votes. The Todd man" in
Navada disposes of only three
electoral votes. The "odd man"
in New York, which has thirty.
six electors, may neutralize vast
popular majorities the other
way in Illinois and Wisconsin,
which have thIrty.six electoral
votes between them. A few
voters in a large state do seem
to be able to exercise a dispro-
portionate influence. That is
inevitable as long as the system
of choosing electors on a gen
eral ticket is adhered to. Their
choice by congressional dis.
tricts would make the popular
and the electoral vote agree
more closely.
