DEMOCRAT URGES
 NEW VOTING PLAN
Would Do Away With Old
 Electoral College

Washington. Dec. 16 Rl-Because alone can elect q president of the United States in the electoral col lege, democrats will be asked to sponsor a revision of the constitu- ton to authorize popular election of presidents at the next national committee meeting January 12.
 Henry Minor, democratic nation al committeeman from Mississippi, an authority on democratic history, has prepared the proposal to lay before the committee.
 Minor has collected data to show that the votes in the electoral col lege of 13 states can defeat the will of the other S5 states. The 13 states and the number of their votes are: New York, 45; Pennsyl- vania, 3S; Illinois, %; Ohio, 24; Texas. %; Massachusetts, IS; Mis- souri, IS; Indiana, 15; Michigan, 15; New Jersey. 14; Iowa, 13: Kan sas, 10; Connecticut, 7.
 There are 531 votes in the cleo toral college.
 Thus 13 states" Minor says, "by a ma ajority of one vote in each can elect a president over another can- didate carrying the other 35 states unanim ously.
 Tt is easily possible, indeed it may become probable. that on some great economic question of over whelming importance 15 or 16 of the densely populated manufactur- ing and commercial states, carried by small majorities, may in presi- dential election override the decl- sion of double that number of states containings twice their popu- lation and four times their area, and that thus a mere fraction over one-fourth of the voters of the country could defeat the will of three-fourths of the electorate.
 This system came very near substituting Burr for Jefferson in 1900; 1t probably kept Jackson out of the presidential chair in 1924; it cost the democrats Tildens cleo ton in 1876 and Clevelands s reelec- ton in 1888. It easily may cost the democrats the presidency again.

The "rail-motor" was introduced just before the war but disappeared because of technical objections to it. Now it has been revived fin great numbers, with variety of improvements. As in parts of the United States, the "rail-motor" Is used particularly on short stretches of road for trains of no great weight, and Is much less expensive than the steam locomotive to oper- ate.

NegroProblens
and Tasks
BY ALEX BTTTELMAN

(Secretary of Committee for Work
Among Negroes of w. CO. P. of Az
MASS migration of Negroes from
AVA the south to the west, north and
east presents a complex Of problems
not only to the southern white capita
list, but also to the Negro masses
themselves. With particular urgency
these problems impose themselves
upon those Negro organizations
which sincerely strive to represent
and work for the interests Of the
Negro masses as against those of the
small group of Negro capitalists and
against the ramified powers of the
white capitalists.
TOR the capitalist interests Of the
south, the exodus of large masses
of Negroes creates the serious prob
lem of labor shortage. Employers
of labor in the south, agrarian as we'll
as industrial, are actually alarmed of
the situation. They are becoming
frantic at the mere thought that the
inexhaustible supply of cheap, unor-
ganized and docile labor is being seri-
ously interfered with. The task that
these capitalists see before them is to
stop this exodus by all means at their
command. By persuasion and cabling
if possible, by force if necessary.
To the Negro workers, to the far
mers, and to all militant fighters
for the liberation of the race, the
situation presents a different COM
pick Of problems. These are all re-
lated, of course, to the fundamental
conditions of Negro life in the United
States. They can find their complete
solution only in the light of such
social and political changes as will
bring about the full emancipation of
the Negro race. But at the same
time tasks must be formulated which
could be successfully applied in the
immediate situation. And it is with
some of these tasks that the present
article proposes to deal.
IT occurs to me that Of late the
Negro of the south has been some
what neglected. Is this so, or not ?
If it is so, then a serious mistake is
being committed. For after every
thing has been said about the tremen-
dous economic, political and cultural
of the new Negro centers

in the north, east and west, which one
can successfully dispute, yet the fact
of the matter is that the bulk Of the
American Negro race, it's most ex-
plotted and prosecuted section, con-
tinues to live and suffer in the south
Does this fact carry any meaning at
all to the Negro emancipation move
ment, to Negro labor and to Negro
farmers? If it does not, it should
It would be a grave injustice to the
millions of Negroes in the south and
would be fatal political mistake

ters in New York, Chicago, etc. Not

Vulnerable new problems. Suffice
it to enmerate only the following:
employment, wages, residence, union
affiliation, education for the children,
recreation, etc. These are no small
matters as every Negro who has mi
grated from the south can testify,
Negro life in New York, Chicago,
Pittsburgh or Philadelphia may be
more interesting, and the problems
different there than in the south,
but the difficulties of life in the for
mer are no less than in the latter.
Undoubtedly these questions are be-
ing given serious thought by the
Negroes and Negro organizations.
But the question is, how correct is
this thinking and what is it's eff
fectiveness? In other words, what
basic approach is being made toward
the solution of these questions?
FOR it must be understood that the
= task Of finding employment, the
question of wages, residence, union
affiliation, ETC., in cities like Chicago,
Pittsburgh or New York, present to
the Negro an entirely different as
pect than they do to the white worker.
In the attempt to solve his difficult
ties, the Negro comes up against the
entire proposition which is known as
the Negro problem. Hence, the ap-
proach toward the solution of these
difficulties must be made in a basic
and radical manner. Every one of
these questions must be considered in
the light of the entire Negro situa-
ton, north, east, south ad west, and
policies formulated in accordance
with it. There is no shorter or
simpler way of handling effectively
these questions.
THERE are two dangers which the
Negro masses must particularly
guard against at present. One is the
danger of adopting the attitude that
mass migration from the south will
do the job for them. The second
danger, closely connected with the
first one, is to accept and look upon
the new Negro centers in the north,
east and west as the haven of de-
liverance and liberty towards which
the hopes, ambitions and aspirations
of every Negro must be directed.
To fall into the first danger is to
become fatalistic and passive. It is
to make the fate of the Negro masses
depend upon something which, by it.
self is neither good nor bad, and which
cannot under any circumstances solve
the Negro problem. To fall into the
second danger is to ignore and
neglect the suffering and the strug-
giles of the basic part of the Negro
race-the Negro masses of the south
AS well as overlook the vital prac-
teal tasks of the Negro masses in
these same new centers.
What is the correct approach?
The correct approach to the pro-

Politics is a science and an art that did
not come down from heaven and is not ac-
quired gratis. If the proletariat wishes
to defeat the bourgeoisie, it must train from
among its ranks its own proletarian ''class
politicians" who shouldn't be inferior to the
bourgeois politicians.

blems discussed here is to be found
by adhering to the following prin-
ciples:
One.-That all the individual pro-
blems of the Negroes form an insep-
arabic part of one big problem-the
Negro problem.
Two.-That the Negro problem Is
by its very nature a national pro-
blem, involving the Negro masses
of all sections of the country, wheth-
er south, north, east or west, which
must be considered from the point
of view of the struggles of the whole
race for its complete emancipation.
Three.-That this struggle for the
emancipation of the whole race in
the United States forms an organic
part Of the struggle against Amer
lean Imperialism and must be con-
Quoted jointly with the white workers
and with all others, regardless of
color, creed or race, who are suf-
fering under the iron heel of Amer
lean capitalism.
II is by following the above prin-
Aciples, which underlie the activities
of such Negro organizations as the
American Negro Labor Congress, the
Chicago Committee for the Promo
ton Of Unionism among Negroes and
similar organizations, and which
begin to make themselves manifest
also among the progressive elements
of the old Carney organization as
we'll as among radical Negro intel
lectuals and farmers, that the present
day tasks of the Negro masses can
be correctly formulated and success
fully fought for.
