VOTE POWER OF
SMALL STATES
HELD TOO HIGH
Failure to Change House
Apportionment Blow to
Big Commonwealth.
BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING
Times StaR Corresnondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The IT,
900 citizens of Little Nevada will
have as much to say about who
shall be President next fall as
100000 citizens of California, her
great neighbor.
New Mexico'S 241, 900 persons will
exert as much weight in the cleo
toral college in the selection of
President as will $4,000 citizens OF
the State of New York.
Indiana's estimated population vi
3,l50,000 will have exactly as mucE
to say in the college as will the
4,490, 900 persons in Michigan.
And it is technically possible to
sway these great weights to one
presidential candidate or another
by the margin of a few votes III
the State, as for instance when
Minnesota's twelve electoral college
votes in 1916 were thrown to Hughes
over Wilson by 1872, out of a total
vote of more than $4,000.
1872 Votes Might Decide
Had those twelve votes been need
ed to decide the issue as to which
candidate would get the 266 needful
to elect, 1872 Minnesota votes might
have decided who should be Presi-
dent for four years.
These are some of the quirks In
ocfI al
system being studied by politicians.
Progressives, headed by Senator
Norris of Nebraska, are expected to
begin a fight to amend the consti-
tuition to provide for popular cleo
ton CT Presidents.
For NevadaS comparative great
weight in the college, the Consti-
tuition is responsible. 1t guarantees
to each State a minimum Of two
United States Senators and one
Representative, and each State is
given electors equal to the total
number Of Senators and Represen-
tativeS.
For the disparity among the
larger States, however, blame is laid
upon the failure of Congress to re-
apportion the House memte ship
following the census of 1920, as the
Constitution directs, when some
States would have gained and others
lost.
Some Would Lose
Twelve congressional districts
would have been taken from some
States and added to others, after
1920. According to the Census Blu
reau's estimates of population for
1927, the shift now would affect
twenty-three districts.
CALIFORNIA; 2,377,0O0 citizens of
1910 gave her thirteen votes in the
college, the same number she now
has for 100000 people, or one cleo
tor to $4,000 persons.
Indiana in 1910 had 2,700,000 per-
sons, who gave her fifteen votes in
the college and her 3,150,O00 of 1927
are represented by the same fifteen.
Michigan had 100000 persons,
represented by fifteen votes in 1912,
and 100000 in 1927.
