corrected.
But the correction came bit too late.
Chuckles from adjacent throats already
had broken through the thick formality
of the occasion.
Nothing could serve more clearly to
emphasize the strange nature of the en-
tire system than that small lapse.
Everybody interested in "how Colorado
went" had full hold on the knowledge
IL weeks ahead Of the moment in which
the Senator solemnly started his an
nouncement.
Under the venerable plan, the tellers
finally discover" the identities Of the
men who next are to be President and
Vice President. The names of those men
are then announced by the President
of the Senate. Only when no candidate
receives majority of the votes cast does
this procedure go awry. That rarely has
happened.
The hard law of the whole affair Is
that nobody Is elected until the vice
presidential vocal cords produce the
sounds which form the vital utterance.
The ballots drift into the oblivion of
the Capitols attic after the election.
The mahogany boxes become souvenirs
of the fortunates who gain victory from
their erstwhile contents.
During the years which have seen the
steady growth of the collection of bal
lots near the Capitols rafters, many
members Of Congress have made efforts
to overthrow the present election sys-
tenn. Literally hundreds Of proposals to
amend the Constitution to achieve that
result have been introduced. The great
majority of these have come to unevent-
full legislative deaths.
Election systems proposed as substi-
tutes for the one contrived by the franz
ers Of the Constitution range from the
seemingly practical to the amusing The
palm for originality in the matter Of
rigging substitute systems goes to an
inventive person, Hillhouse, by name,
who represented Connecticut in the Sen
ate early in the nineteenth century.
To preserve the country from the
evils engendered by the growth of po-
litical parties and party spirit" Senator
Hillhouse advanced a plan under which
the President would be chosen by lot
terry. He would have held Senators to

terms of only three years, with one
third of the Senate'S membership to be
retired from Office each year. On the
day for the shift in membership, box
containing as many small balls as there
were retiring Senators would have been
hauled into the legislative chamber.
Each Senator who was about to be out
of a job then would have reached into
the box to test his luck. II he drew the
lone red ball placed among the white
ones, he then and there would have
been designated as the next President.
EVENTUALLY, Senator Hillhouse be-
! came Mr. Hillhouse As a private
citizen he shouted the praises OF his
plan during more than 20 years. His
fervor finally drew the attention OF
Chief Justice Marshall. Records Of the
American Historical Association reveal
that the high noble of American juris-
prudence came to favor the scheme and
wrote a letter advocating its adoption
John Quincy Adams, however, took
place on the other side Of the fence. In
a confession to his diary he set forth
the opinion that "a serious discussion
of the Hillhouse amendment would be
ridiculous"
