ELECTORAL
COLLEGE

Holding that the present method
of selecting Presidents is archaic
and unfair, Representative Clar-
ence Lea CD of California is
planning a fight in the next
Congress for a constitutional
a m n DIN ent providing a new
method.
A change is especially impor.
tant with the injection of the
Lemke- 'Brien-C oughlin Union
party into the field, and the pre-
diction of the Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin that a deadlock will re-
suit and the next President will
be chosen by the House Of Repre-
sentatives, Lea says.
He proposes to give fractional
electoral votes in the various
States for presidential candidates,
a modification Of the direct-vote-
for-P President plan agitated for
many years.
Under the present system, Lea
points out, a candidate who gets
a bare plurality in a State gets
the entire electoral vote. The
vote Of those supporting a losing
candidate counts for nothing.
Representative Lea said:
"Novel results frequently hap
pen from this rule. In 1912 Mr..
Wilson, with only az per cent
Of the popular vote, received 81
per cent Of the electoral votes.
Suppose two candidates are
running for President. The cleo
tors representing one candidate
receive q majority Of 5000 in
the State Of New York, with It's
100000 votes, and the electors
representing the opposing candi.
date receive a 5000 majority in
the State Of Nevada, with its
three electoral votes.
"ThuS the total vote for the
two candidates would be exactly
equal in those two States but In
the electoral college the man
who carried New York would
have Al electoral votes and the
other candidate who carried
Nevada would have three. AL.
though over 100000 votes in
New York voted for the minority
candidate, he would receive no
electoral votes whatever from
New York.

President, representing probably
100000 people, had no repre-
sentatiOn whatever in the cleo

MERIT MOVE
A GESTURE
BY J. EARLE MoSER

Joint announcements by the
Civil Service Commission and
Home owners Loan Corporation
that the latter's personnel will be
placed under the merit system to.
day drew a strident razzberry
from the Republican Congress
sional Committee.
Stating that the Administration
has been constantly under crit
icism for alleged inroads on the
merit system during its tenure, the
Republican unit today termed the
Presidents letters to the Civil
Service Commission and Hole,
requesting prompt installation Of
the merit plan, as merely another
meaningless gesture" 1t declared:
"The Administration has been
under constant criticism for its
political appointments in an ef-
fort to build up a New Deal ma
chine in Government service,
while ignoring the Civil Service.
The New Deal now has $4,000
political app0inteeS. These fig
ures speak for themselves as to
how far the New Deal seeks to
protect the Civil Service"
After pointing out that Holes
personnel, should show further de.
cline due to the cessation of its
lending operations, the statement
concluded:
The fact that this Eresiden-
tial action really means nothing
is emphasized by Chairman
Fahey'S announcement that this
does not mean that employees of
the corporation will be required
to take Civil Service examina-
tiOnS as a requisite to cOntinu-
ance in their positions, nor that
they will be displaced by EN-.
plOyes from the certified lists of
the Civil Service Commission
The New Deal has been so
severely criticized for FarIeyizing
the Government service that its
leaders fear the resentment of
the voters next November. The
purpose Of this presidential ges-
ture is not further extension
Of the merit system as alleged,
but is to have it appear that the
New Deal has suddenly taken an
interest in Civil Service and no
longer holds to the spoils system
Of selecting Government en-
p4Oyes. InaSmuch as Hole is
dismiSSing employees rather than
taking them on, the futility of
the gesture becomes quite ap-
parent"
