vote for president 1t would lessen its chances to combat the South and West. Also the. fact that the South votes solidly for the democratic par ty, regardless of that party's princi- ples or its platform and thus might at times exercise an undue influence on the popular vote if the vote in the Northern States were close, has al- ways been a thorn in the side of the Republican Northern states.
 Admittedly the constitution meth cd has serious defects. If a constitu- tional amendment changing the cleo toral vote to a direct vote for presi- dent, it is known that it must come through a Democratic House and Senate. To initiate a movement for the direct election of president at the present session of congress would be to have the effort fall on unreceptive ears.

ONE RESULT OF ELECTION.


 It is better now for both sides to con- sider the result of the fight between the Republican party and the Demo- cratic party as square and fair one, and everyone should accept the inev- itable in a kindly spirit, forgetting and fOrgiving the animOsities which have cropped out during the contest and be encouraged by the prosperity now prevailing throughout the nation and the strong prospect for it's con tinuance for some time to come. That is something that no other nation can boast of in anything like the same degree and should be enough to make the American people happy and con- tented, especially when they compare their lot with that of the sufferers throughout Europe. Many people think that our present campaign ter minated in a muddle owing to the votes of the electors being so close. 1 think, however, that is a cause for rejoicing rather than otherwise, as it will serve to compel both of our great parties to put up. as they have done in this election, high grade men for their candidates hereafter, and not merely demagogic politicians. It marks a new era for our country, which firmly believe is the best ever devised by the brain of man, espe- cially for our cosmopolitan popula- tion-a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The result of the election goes to show that there are but few vital issues at stake between the two great par ties; besides, we are almost sure to- have in the field hereafter candidate/ both learned. capable, and highly rep resentative men, similar to those who have competed in the present Hughes Wilson contest. Hence, it is to be hoped that it will lead to the

REQUESTING THE ELECTORAL
 COLLEGE

Following every presidential cleo tion where the contest has been close, there has been a temporary demand for the abolition of the electoral col lege system and the substitution of a method providing for the expres- sion of choice by direct vote of the people. The argument offered in fla vor of the direct method is single and obvious, while that against it is somewhat more complex, but, in the opinion of most Republicans, is much sounder.
 The possibility that a president may be elected by minority vote of the people under the present consti- tutional system cannot be countered. In fact, two presidents in compara- lively recent years, have failed to re- ceive a plurality of the popular vote Rutherford B. Hayes, in 1876, and Benjamin Harrison, in 1888. Tilden received a plurality of 25O,395 over Hayes and Cleveland a plurality of S8517 over Harrison.
 The existing system was elaborat- ed by the founders of the govern ment after the most thorough consid- eration and was based on the theory which runs through our constitu- tion-that cheeks and balances" are needed, as in the manner of repre- sentatiOn in congress; that each state shall have an equal representation, according to it's population, with ev- cry other, and yet that the smaller states shall not be overshadowed by the more populous. The wisdom of this system as it applies to the senate and house of representatives must ap- peal to every person interested in the preservation of our government The electoral college is constituted of representatives from each state equal in number to the congressman and senators from that state, and conse- quently it is based on population to the same extent that our national congress is based on population-no more and no less.
 Two very important advantages of the present electoral system are pointed out by William B. Giteau, Ph. D., superintendent of schools of Toledo, Ohio, in his Government and Politics in the United States" pub lished in 1911. Prof. Guiteau has this to say on the subject:
 "In spite of its serious defects, this method of indirect election has at least two advantages: CD No president can be chosen who does not have support in about half the
