THE ELECTION MACHINERY


Observes contemporary: "Again the
electoral system devised by the founders OF
the American Republic has done its per.
feet work." But as to the system, this
is not strictly so. Until 1905, the electors
did not vote separately for President and
Vice President, but the one who had the
highest vote OF the electors became Presi-
dent and the next highest Vice President.
Under the system thus framed by the
founders Of the Republic, Mr.. Hobart
might have been chosen President and
Major Mckinley Vice President. While
furthermore, II IL TO be remem bered that
in the early days Of the nation the people
In choosing electors had no special candi-
dates for the two offices In view. Those
were the days before nominating conven-
tons and the voting for electors was not
80 much fiction and a form as 1t is to-
osy. when whom the electors will vote for
is we'll understood when their names are
put on tho ballots so that practically the
President and Vice President are voted
for directly although the theory OF the
constitution that the choice is left to
the electors is still preserved.
When Washington was elected for his
first term he was the choice Of every cleo.
tor and John Adams had the next highest
vote and 30 became Vice President, al
though number OF other men also re.
ceived votes. .Washington's second election
was also unanimous end it is recalled thar
twenty eight years after, although James
Monroe was the choice Of all the elect ors,
one Of them cast his vote for Jonn
Quincy Adams so that Wsshington's re.
cord should remain unequaler. In 1907,
John Adams received II votes anu
Thomas Jefferson 6s which made the
former President and the latter Vice
President respectively. But four years
later, Jefferson and Aaron Burr each had
70 votes and not until thirty-six ballots
were cast could q decision be made as TO
which would be President and which
Vice President. This circumslance dem.
onstrsted the necessity OF distinguishing
between the Offices instead OF making
