When Missile learned that the local
boys had not got to Cuba she breathed
again. Harry was safe, after all. He
was in a camp in the South-safe.
But the news was not so good, at
that. AS the Summer went on, typhoid
was ravaging the camp. The bodies of
men dead of it were brought back and
military funerals wended their way up
the hill to the cemetery. The troops
we're dying like flies. There were no

VIRGINIA ELECTORS
TO Be DISTRIBUTED
Resolution to Be Introduced,
With Governors Approval,
for This Purpose.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
stan Correspondent Of the Star.

RICHMOND, Va, January 27.-Fol-
lowing q conference with Gov. John
Garland Pollard, who approved the
measure, Delegate j. Fred Birrell of
Alexandria will introduce q resolution
in the House Of Delegates looking for
a division of the presidential electors
of Virginia in proportion to popular
vote. he announced today.
Birrell would discontinue the present
practise of having all electors in each
State elected in one block and of hav-
ing the votes Of these electors all cast
for the presidential candidate who re-
ceives the largest number of votes.
1t is not proposed under the resolu-
ton. for immediate action by Virginia
alone, but requests that the matters be
brought up at the governors con-
ference next Summer, with a view to
concerted action by a number of
States. Under the Federal Constitu-
ton, the right to say how electors
shall be chosen is reserved to the legiS-
latorS of the respective States.
BirrelPs idea is that there would be
some Republican electors from the
Democratic States and a large number
Of Democratic electors from the Re-
publican States, and that the considera-
ton Of their individual votes would be
much fairer than the method now used.
AS an example, Birrell points out that
in the last presidential election, the
Hoover ticket received but little over
half of the votes of Virginia and yet,
the votes Of all IL Of the electors were
cast for the Republican ticket.
Birrell believes that II one State
would lead on in this movement, quite
a number Of others would Immediately
follow and the practise would soon be-
come universal.
