The object Senator Norris had IN
mind In advancing this proposal was t.
make easier the operation Of third
parties. II, he thinks, the names Oi
candidates for President could &C
directly on the ticket, no such orGani
zation or machinery as II now required
would be necessary to put independent
candidates in the field for President
md Vice President. Tor example, In
1920, II tickets had rend for President.
Warren 9. Harding, james NJ. Cox and
Hirnm johnson, with their pnrty
names, johnson would have had a
chance Of carrying many States.
Suppose the change had the effect
Mr.. Norris believes It would Of greatly
increasing the prospects of third par.
ties. One consequence would be. u
q break-up of party systems ensued1,
have majority of the electoral vote.
Thus the election Of President would
be thrown into the House Of Repre-.
sentatives.
Elections to Continue BY States
Mr.. Norris resolution does not 20
to the direct election Of President by a
majority Of the popular vote. The
election would be by States, candidates
being credited with the electoral vote
Of the States they carried, as at present.
This is done because there would be
no chance Of having the amendment
adopted by the Southern States II It
contemplated mere totaling Of the
popular vote throughout the country.
The Southern States, casting such q
small popular vote, would, in that case.
have their influence on the election
greatly reduced.
Mr.. Norris sees the possibility that,
If third parties did spring up, the cleo
ton might often go into the House
body than a newly elected House could
Dc found for the purpose of choosing the
President.
If the election Of the President often
went into the House the power and i'm
portance OF Congress would be- enor-
mOusly increased. AT any rate, the
prompt meeting Of Congress in January
would greatly increase its authority and
influence. An electorate having rc-
forms In mind would concentrate on the
choosing Of Congress which would
promptly register it's will. As it is
now, the President can determine when
the new Congress shall function.
These proposals arc thus in line with
the tendency toward the strengthening
of Congress at the expense of the Ex-
ecutivc. The swing toward the domi.
rant Executive. which started with
Roosevelt, ended with the election of
Harding. 1t has started now in the
opposite direction.
These are the possibilities which the
Progrcssives see in their proposed
amendments. Of course, as in the case
Of 30 many other changes which have
been adopted in the past, like direct
primaries and the direct election of
Senators. their effects in practice may

Changes Apparently Technical
A"c CnaHkcs proposed on their face
seem technical and to correspond in
their most important respects to chang
thnt have already taken place in prac.
tice: The Electoral College has ceased
to function as it was intended that il
should. 1t has long been regarded as
obsolete and the public mind has been
prepared for its abolition.
Presidents have for several years
found it necessary TO- call newly elected
Congresses into special session as soon
as possible. The amendment If adopted
would merely advance the date for the
meeting of new Congresses from the
spring, when they are usually called.
to January /.
All that seems Of no great importan nee
nnd tho change with respect to the date
OF assembling Congress has the support
of conservatives like Senators Pepper
and Brnndege. 1t at least seems likely
to be accepted.
Actually the proposal to abolish the
Electoral College. although the institu-
ton is obsolete. promises to be the more
important of the two in its practical
effect.
