THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

The first practical step to change
the present method of choosing a
president originates with Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon, who an
nounces his purpose to offer an
amendment to the Constitution pro-
viding for a presidential election by
direct popular vote.
Senator Chamberlain is a native
of Mississippi, but he represents in
the senate a state which has been
pioneer in the work of popular gov
ernment as opposed to the idea of a
government of delegated powers. His
constituents will doubtless respond
to his present purpose, but whether
the state of his birth will join with
the state of his residence in this is
extremely doubtful.
Popular election of president
means an election under federal leg
islation, and an election under fed
eral control. Such elections are not
welcome in the South, Where state
laws are made use of to override the
constitutional guarantees to the
freedman, and where small portion
of the white population does the vot-
ing for the entire electorate. By this
means they secure tremendous in
itial advantage in seeking to control
the electoral college or congress-, and
it is most unlikely that they will sur
render this advantage spontaneously.
However, we welcome the discus
sion which Senator Chamberlain
proposal will provoke. We had look
ed to see this subject brought up in
congress by Republican-when the
instant and inevitable lineup would
have been between the Republicans
and the Democrats, between the
North and the South. Coming, as it
now will, from Northern Democrat
of Southern antecedents, it is possible
that the subject will be discussed
with more of light and less of heat
than we had apprehended. The elec-
toral college may be outworn. 1t
may be unjust in it's workings. But
it should not be replaced by sys-
tenn which perpetuates a worse in
justice. The endency of modern poll
tical thought is in the direction of
larger power lodged in the hands of
the individual voter. The direct pri-
mary laws are among the best exam
Piles of this tendency. If larger
power in the choice of a president is
to be impaired to the individual vo-
ter through the abolition of the elec-
toral college, it is manifestly neces-
sary to provide that such power be
impaired to every voter, North or
South, black or white.
Senator Chamberlain views on
this phase of his proposal will be in
teresting.
