voters of Montana and every
other state in the union would
have the opportunity of vot-
ing directly for president and
vice president.
1.-Two years ago when the voters
went to the polls they had the oppor-
tunity of voting for four electors, who
in turn could cast their votes for the
president.
1T may be recalled that in 1916,
when Hughes and Wilson were oppos-
ing candidates, that the vote in such
states as California and Minnesota
was SO close that a part of the electors
on each ticket were chosen.
Yet the average voter who casts
his or her vote at q presidential cleo
ton has no idea at all of voting for
electors. They are in reality voting
for their choices for president and
vice-president. At least that is what
they are trying to do.
Under the proposed amendment,
each voter could cast his or her vote
directly for the nominee for president
and also for the nominee for vice pres
ident that he or she preferred. When
the returns were all in. the four votes
Of Montana that this state is entitled
to, would be listed for the nominee
for president who had received the
most votes in the state and the four
votes would also be listed for the
the most votes.
ut is true that this would make it
possible to elect a president Of one
party and Il vice president of another
party, although such a result would
not be probable and would not be like
" to happen unless some party nom
mated a particularly weak man for
vice president and the other, party a
particularly strong one.
The amendment would not do away
with the recognition of the states and
their representation on the basis of
the number of senator's and repreSen-
tatyes they have"
The Butte Post (rep.1 takes q diff
ferent view of the subject. The Post
says: The bunch of so-called pro-
gressives who have La Toilette for
their leader went in for a Let of re
forms at the sessions they held last
Friday and Saturday. For one thing,
they propose to go IN strong for q
constitutional amendment that will
abolish the electoral college and pro
vide for the election Of the president
by direct vote. The subject has been
before the present congress and it will
be pushed when the new congress gets
mt it's work.
There is nothing new in this pro-
posal. 1t was agitated 80 years ago
in a way that attracted the attention
Of the country. In 1923 Senator
Thomas III. Benton, of eminence in his
time, tried to get the enactment of a
law abolishing the electoral college,
He did manage to start discussion and
attract widespread notice to the sub
ject, and it continued for more than
ten years to be n pertinent issue. In
several instances state legislatures
took formal action.

JUDGE EiUNTOON

Judge Roy Ayers resigned last week
and Bud Story acting governor I'M
mediately appointed John G. Huntoon
of Lewistown to fill the vacancy.
While the appointment may be a dis
appointment to some, yet nothing can
be said against John c. Huntoon for
he is one of the best lawyers in the
state and taken as n whole, we can't
say that Governor Dixon could have
made a better appointment had he been
at his post.-Windham Leader.

DIxoN'S LIGHT is OUT

At last, and for all time to come.
the political light of Joe Dixon has
been effectually snuffed out, and my
thing he may now say or do will be
regarded with the utmost Indifference
by the citizenship of Montana. He
has failed disastrously in impressing
our people with either his sincerity or
his craftsmanship, and with the ex-
piration Of his gubernatorial term will
be retired to deserved oblivion.-Miles

there can be none tagged to Urban
Shocker, pitcher for the ST. Louis
Browns, in his effort to try to defeat
the New Yorks this year.
He has been eager to get into the
fight against the Yanks whenever he
could. and there are some who think
that Lee Fohl permitted him to carry
too much of the burden. The Yanks
became too familiar with Shocker
and hit him better. accordingly. He
has not been as successful against
New York. as he was last season. but
not because of Indifferent work on
his part. He happened three times
to get into games in which his fel-
low players could not hit a bale of
