not always been chosen by popular

Before 1900 1t was the general GUS

the electors, and 1t was not until 1928
that presidential electors were chosen
in nearly all the states by popular vote.
As late rs 1876 the Colorado legislature

In the constitution to prevent any state

without appeal to the people provided

From 1900 to 1924 presidential candI-

congress In caucus. In 1924 the elect

from the candidates so submitted, and
the matter went to the house of repre-
