have been preferred By an actual ia
iority OF the voters. The Republicans
of Pennsylvania simply we're caught IN
an unsOlvable mathematical maze.
At least a third OF the voters OF
PENNSYLVANIA are Democrats, he pointed
out. Yet this enormous section OF pop
ular opinion never can express Itself
on national issues in Congress. since
the two-thirds are able 10 send an al
most solid Republican delegation. The
Democratic ballots for members OF Con-
gresS become so much waste paper. so
far as expressing the popular VIII IS

The reverse of this situation. he said.
Is found in New York. where Repuo-
ncan voters for members of Congress in
the cities must either cast their ballots
for a Democrat or waste them Alto

have an actual majority Of the votes.
the Democrats elect the larger delega-
