Establishes Record

for the electors to announce them
selves in favor of some candidate, SC
that In voting for the elector the legis'
latnre found itself voting for a partic,
ular candidate. The next step was
to compel the legislature to let the
people vote directly for electors. This
made the electors mere figureheads.
as they now are, the people voting, in
effect, an instruction to the electors
to vote for certain candidate.
The elections in November theore-
tically do not decide who is to be
president. All that is knOWn-Official-
ly-is that a number Of electors have
been chosen, who are supposed to be
favorable to certain candidates. Prac-
tically, of course, it is known that a
certain candidate has enough of these
electoral votes to make him the win
ner This candidate is not officially
chosen president, however, until the
vote of the electoral college is can
vassed in the United States senate
four months after the election, during
begins in December.
If no candidate has a majority, the
house of representatives ballots to
choose president from the three
highest names on the list. each state
delegation being entitled to only one
vote. If they fail to choose presi.
dent in this manner before March 4,
the vice president becomes president,
and serves during the term. No such
case has ever occurred.
The nearest thing to deadlock in
the choice Of president was the Hayes
Tilden case in 1867. The validity
OF the electral votes from Louisiana,
South Carolina. Florida and Oregon
was contested. There were double re-
turns from each Of these states. 1t
was necessary for the republicans to
have the electoral votes of all OF !
these states TO elect Hayes. Between
November and March the matter hung
in the balance Finally special act
was passed by congress- for which no
constitutional authority existed, Great
ing a special commission, impartial, Of |

ed in favor Of the republican candi- |

Hayes took place two days later.

The election was stolen Widen had |

CONSTITUTION
CUTS LITTLE
ICE IN ELECTION
Every Time We Choose o Presi'
dent, That Organic Law Is
Ignored.
BY gibson GARDNER.

Washington. D. c., May 27.-Choos
ing a president in the United States
serves % remind us that the cOnsti
tuition was kicked over Immediately
after it was formed. The conStitu
tional way Of choosing the president
never has he,n followed. |; was all
right on n.per. hut it ddnt york.
In theory, the way the president OF
the United States is elected reads
something like the way a pope is
chosen. In the latter case the card
inals get together in building whose
windows and doors are sealed up and
stay there until they can agree who
is the best man for pope. That was
somewhat the idea in the minds OF
our constitution builders-the respect
ed fathers so4S0ften .quoted-when
they Created ftheaelect college to
choose president of these United
States
The only difference is that the "elec.
tors" as they were called, were or
dered to meet in their Irrespective
states" instead Of in a central place,
as the college of cardinals does.
So the fathers provided that each
state should appoint electors in such
manner as the legislatures thereof
should deem fit The number of cleo
tors, it was provided. should be the
same number as the total representa-
ton in house and senate of the par
ticular state The fathers intended
that the legislatures of the several
states should choose the electors in
each state, thus making the choice of
president fall upon men twice removed
from the votes of the common peo-
pie.
This method was employed for a
short time, but with the growth Of
political parties it became customary
