tween the November election and the
date OF the assembling of the elector-
al college.
The electors would probably re-
ceive instructions from a national
convention or from recognized party
leaders. In 1872 when Greedy. the
minority candidate, died after the
election, his votes were scattered. Six
Georgia electors, for instance, voted
for B. Gratz Brown and three for
Greeley. The Greeley votes were re-
jected by congress. Thomas A. Hem
bricks and Brown divided the votes
that had been intended for Greeley.
Does the constitution prescribe how
electors must be chosen!
No. 1t leaves this to the states.
Are they not always voted for on a
general ticket?
They happen to be now. But leg
islature may provide differently. In
1876 the Colorado Legislature chose
the state electors.
Thomas Watson said the other day
that under the laws of Georgia II no
ticket should receive majority IN
Georgia the choice of electors is
thrown into the legislature. 1897
Michigan voted ON its electors by
congressional districts.
How do states sometimes split their
electoral votes?
Occasionally a popular elector will
receive enough complimentary votes
to elect him, even IL HRS fellows on
the ticket are defeated. Sometimes
mistakes in marking ballots will re-
suit in divided electoral vote in a
close state.
What determines the date OF the
national election?
In lS45 congress prescribed that It
be held on the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November. Before that
time some of the states held elections
on different days.
Does a plurality in the electoral col
lege elect?
No. The constitution provided that
If no candidate shall receive a ma
iority OF the electoral votes the cleo
tion shall be thrown into the national
house Of representatives. the three
highest candi fates only being voted
on.
Can man be elected president by
a minority of the popular voter
Yes. In 1924 Andrew Jackson had
a plurality of 5000 over J. @. Adams
Tilden had larger plurality over
Hayes in 1876. md in 1888 Grover
Cleveland had a plurality of nearly
100, 900 over Benjamin Harrison.
Is there any justification for cleo
ton by states rather than by direct
popular vote?
Yes. Elections by state is probably
fairer to the country as a whole.
Otherwise some limited section OF the
country might acquire undue influence
Thus the manufacturing state Of Penn
sylvania may give as huge republi-
can vote as it pleases. but 1t can de-
liver only "a electoral votes. Under
the present system no president can
be chosen who has not supporters in
about half the states Of the Union.

sentiment into one Of high regard and
