BY Frederic J. Haskln.

The determination Of the people
themselves to control the election or
the president Of the United States has
resulted in q complete subversion or
the electoral theory Of the trainers OF
the constitution, although they still
employ the identical machinery the
constitution gave tlrem. The real
problem that confronted the conven-
ton was to find a method that would
be satisfactory to the smaller states.
They would be entirely lost in the
shuttle II there was popular election,
with one vote counting just as much
a. another. They had to be consulted
in the matter, for that was the only
way they could be induced to become
part Of the union. To make the
election by states wholly, on the other
hand, would make the little handful of
people in Delaware as influential in
determining the result as the great
population Of New York, and would
give the few people of Rhode Island
as much power as the many of Penn
sylvania.
To strike a happy medium was the
puzzling problem, and the plan we have
was the result. Each state was to
start out with two electors. irrespec-
tive Of size, and the others were to be
based on the same apportionment as
the house Of representatives. Thus the
electoral colleges together form an
exact counterpart of the senate and
house when they sit in joint session.
the only difference being that the SEN
ate and house meet together, while the
electoral colleges never meet in one
body.
The government had scarcely been
running long enough to get its ma
Chinery well oiled and shaken down
until there were propositions to change
the electoral system. The first part to
demonstrate its weakness was the pro
vision making the candidate receiving
the second highest vote vice president
Amendment Was Proposed.
The fear Of Hamilton that Adams,
the vice presidential candidate on the
Fcderalist ticket, might get as many
votes as Washington, the presidential
candidate, and his manipulations to
prevent such a catastrophe, showed
congress how ill-conceived the plan
had been, and in 1897 q serious effort
was made to submit to the states ar
amendment for ratification that would
make theh votes for president and vice
president separate and distinct. But
then as now, nothing but crisis
would move congress to action, and
there was no more chance for the pas
sage of that important amendment
than there now is of the passage OF
an amendment for the changing of the
inaugural date or the provision of 6
succession in the event both the pres
ident-elect and the vice president
elect should die between the meeting
Of the electoral colleges and the 4th Of
March.
