Defects of Our Electoral
System.

Hon. ]. G. Carlisle In the Forum.
The electoral system. which. even &C.
cording 10 its original design, was never
consistent with our theory of government.
Is. I'm my opinion. the source OF all the
greatest dangers to which we are now
subject. 1t was not only inconsistent
with our theory Of government but in
consistent with itself: for. IL the people
were. In fact. incapable Of selecting
president or q vice-president by direct
vote, they were equally incapable OF Sc
Letting competent agents TO perform that
duty for them
Under this system. there is no uniform
constitutional rule for the selection of
electors and there have been frequent
periods in our history when three different
methods were in actual operation az the
same time, some states choosing by the
votes of their legislatures. some by the
votes OF the people, on a general ticket.
and others by the votes of the people In
separate districts. each district choosing
one elector. IL IL manifest that. IN a mat
ter of so great and general concern az is
the election OF chief executive for the
whole country. there should be perfect
uniformity in the proceedings OF the diff
fesent states, in order that the people Of
each state may exercise their proper
share OF power in determining the result.
IL. in one state. the electors are chosen
ny NctS Oh the iSEiSid%
for that purpose. and perhaps. not rep
resenting the will Of the people on that
subject-and. in another the whole cleo
oral vote IS given TO a single person.
simply because one sat Of electors receiy-
ed a small majority or 4 mere plurality
of the popular vote. while. in third, the
electoral vote Is divided between TWO or
more candidates. because the popular vote
was taken by districts. IL Is evident that.
as regards this important function. the
equality OF the states and people is de-
stroyed. and that, consequently, great In
justice must he done TO one side or the
other in the contest The constitution not
only permits all these different methods
but there are many other WAYS IN which
