the west and northwest was practically
at a standstill for some time during
the day. In its extent the storm was
the most widespread OF any during the
last 10 years. Counting the fog as a
component part of the storm, it
stretched from the Rocky mountains to
New York and from Winnipeg to New
Orleans.
In the northwest, the storm was even
more violent than throughout Mis-.
souri, and Iowa. In St. Paul, the
commenced falling early last
night and fell heavier all through the
night, while the wind increased until it
was blowing at 80 miles an hour. The
heavy snow and the gale worked havoc
with the railroads., and some of the
passenger trains from the Pacific coast
were reported today as "a hours over
due and making slow progress.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE,.

The mixed result in Maryland, where
the presidential electors are divided,
has led to another movement in favor
OF a change In the machinery of elect.
Ing a president and vice president,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer. 1t is
not intended to do away with substan.
TALLY the present method. which has
become so fixed that q change is we'll
nigh impossible, but to secure the
same result in a sancr method. This
could be easily effected by having the
vote in each state taken simply for the
head of the ticket, and thus when the
returns were ~canvassed at state CAPT.
ta.s the result would be forwarded to
Washington and each state would
have the same vote as before, without
the expense and trouble of requiring
a lot Of electors to get together.
This is a sane proposal and it is a
safe one. 1t maintains the factor of
state representation as distinct from
population, and it does away with q
cumbrOus ballot and the mixed re-
suits that have often occurred. In
1896 Bryan had n electoral vote in
Kentucky, in 1850 the vote of Califor.
MIA was split. In 1920 one elector
chosen to vote for Monroe refused to
do SO and thereby deprived the latter
of a unanimous election. In 1896 it
was claimed hat three men elected in
the interests of Jefferson voted for
Ad m and thereby secured his cleo.
ton.
Such results would be avoided if the
plan proposed were adopted. For
thirty years INCREASINGLY Benton, of
Missouri, tried to have the plan
changed so that the vote should be by
congressional districts, each district
casting one vote and the state two,
but it never received any support. In
Maryland it is absurd that the states
vote should be divided simply because
some of the voters liked or disliked
certain electors, who have no more
actual Importance in the contest than
Il recording machine. A change
would have the added advantage that
the citizen could have the pleasure of
voting directly for his candid ates, in
stead of for a list of men whom he
heard of before, who are to do
his bidding. Our ancestors were
afraid to trust the people and so got
up the present scheme by which the
wise men of the nation were to choose
the chief officers of the government.
They never exercised any discretion,
except In the cases named, and it
ought to be made impossible for them
to do so.
There are at present probably s.

the presidency, any of whom can be
chosen by the electors without violat.
