elects the president, voting by states,
each state having one vote.
When a tie occurs for vice president
it is the senate that has the privilege
of deciding the question.
Votes Cast at State Capitals.
The successful electors of each state
Invariably meet at their capital to
cast their votes. Three copies of the
result are made, one being mailed to
The president of the senate (yice presi-
dent), the second being dispatched to
Washington by trusted messenger,
and the third as a precautionary meas
ure is deposited in care of the fed
eral judge Of the circuit in which the
electors meet. The copies received by
the president Of the senate are pre-
served in a specially constructed safe
and additionally protected by an elab-
crate system Of burglar alarms. When
the president Of the senate receives
the sealed envelopes from the messen-
gers containing the certified votes he
delivers to them receipt couched in
the following guarded and noncom-
initial terms:
New Ulm review., 1908-11-04

fact, owing to q radical change in the
lie Each state has as many electors
and electoral votes as it has members
in the senate and the house of repre-
sentatives, and these men were origi-
nally intended to exercise their own
initiative in voting for president and
their ticket at the polls. When the
electors were given constitutional eX-
istence it was never designed that they
should ever act as a unit, according to
their party affiliations. That is exact
ly what they do today and have done
for a century. Each elector is today
in honor bound and pledged to cast
his vote in the electoral college for
the presidential candidate at the head
of his party column.
How to Secure the Presidency.
Each state having a definite number
Of electoral votes, it becomes the OBJ
ject of the heads of presidential tickets
to carry larger number Of states or
the states having the largest number
Of electoral votes rather than to obtain
the votes of the largest number of the
citizens Of the country, for, as readily
seen, it is possible for a presidential
candidate to receive more individual
votes than any opponent and yet lose
the presidency This has occurred
twice in the history of the country
The constitution article IL and
amendments and article 12) prescribes
the number of electors and the partic-
nlar manner in which they shall per
form their duties, but the states have
absolute power in designating the
method of their appointment, and con
gress names the time when they shall
be chosen and the day on which they
shall formally meet to cast their votes
Method Of Election.
The electors are chosen the frs,
Tuesday after the first Monday In No
vember every four years, on presiden
. tial election day, in every state in the
New Ulm review., 1908-11-04

Union. After election the electors on
the winning ticket are required to
meet at some place designated by the
legislature Of the state on the second
Monday in January and then axld there
cast their vote by ballot for president
and vice president. one of which na-
tional candidates at least shall not be
electors themselves. AS a result there
never will be a national ticket made
up of two men from the same state.
for the electoral vote Of the candidates
state would be lost to them At the
appointed time and place each body Of
electors makes up a list of all the can
didates it's members have for presi-
dent and vice president, with the num-
Der of votes each receives. Every mem
Der of the college signs and certifies
the list the governor of the state certi-
fies it, and the report is transmitted to
the president of the United States sen
ate. Both houses of congress assemble
in the chamber of the lower house on
the second Wednesday of February
The electoral votes are then counted,
and the president of the senate then
announces the result. If any person
has received a majority Of all the votes
cast for president he is announced to
ua elected president, and a candidate
for vice president must also receive
majority of all votes cast for that Of
fee to be elected
Should a tie occur in the electoral
vote the house of representatives
New Ulm review., 1908-11-04


T< HAT things are not always what
they seem is very we'll exempli-
n fed by the manner in which the
American people elect their
president and vice president If you
were to tell the average experienced
voter that he has never legally and
technically voted for either a presi-
dent or a vice president he would
probably class you with the people
who still believe the earth is fiat like
a pancake.
The fact that candidate for the
presidency is named at national con
vention and that his name is placed at
the top of the ballot on election day
has no relation whatever to the con
stitutional provisions regulating the
mode Of choosing a president. The
name Of the president or vice presi-
dent would be left off the ballot if the
actual intention of the trainers of the
constitution were followed, and in
spite of the 'unwritten law which
has developed the placing Of the ma
tional candidates names on the ballot
it Is in an actual legal sense done only
as a guide to the voter to indicate in
simple and effective manner what
set of members Of the electoral col
lege he is to vote for.
The electoral college, composed of
prominent partisans termed electors
and whose names appear on ballots in
national elections, has become sort
of fifth wheel, a useless appendix, in

A Celebrated Controversy.

The celebrated Samuel J. Tilden-Ruth-
erford 3. Hayes controversy occurred
in 1876. A violent partisan dispute
arose over the electoral votes of Flori-
da, Louisiana, Oregon and South Caro-
lima. The entire matter was referred
by congress to an electoral commits
sion composed of eight Republicans
and seven Democrats. AS a result
by a strict party vote 1S5 electoral
votes were awarded to Hayes and 1S4
to Tilden. Some Of the supporters of
Mr. Tilden became SO aroused over
the decision that they openly talked
of taking Tilden to Washington and
seating him anyhow" and threats of
bringing about a civil war We're bruit-
ed about.
The ablest men Of the newly born
! United States founded the electoral
college, choosing a system that was
but one Of a dozen advanced for the
purpose of deciding the presidency
and vice presidency. To Alexander
Hamilton is given most of the credit
] for bringing about the adoption of the
system as originally created by the
| constitution.
/ Hamilton devoted the paper known
as the 'LXVIII Federalist'' to the
subject Of the presidential election,
and in it ne urged many forcible rea-
sons showing the advantage of sub
mitting the choice to an independent
body of men.
Among other things he said: "It is
/ equally desirable that the immediate
1 election should be made by men most
/ papable of analyzing the qualities
adapted to the station and acting un-
/ der circumstances favorable to deIib-
GRAFTON and to a judicious combina-
ton of all reasons and inducements
that were proper to govern this choice.
"a small number Of persons selected
by their fellow citizens from the gen.
i eral mass will be most likely to pos
sess the information and discernment
requisite to SO complicated an inyes-
/ tigation.''
/ George Washington was chairman
/ of the convention, and active parts
were taken by such men as Benjamin
Franklin, James Madison, John Dick
inson of New Jersey, Pinckney of
South Carolina, Alexander Hamilton
and others.
