press came out today with a de-
mand that Gen. Eisenhower be

There is no criticism of EiSen-

third name and not cast a major
ity vote for any candidate, the law
provides that the house or repre-
sentatives shall Immediately deter
mine which of the three candidates
shall be president. This would be
done by the representatives of each
state voting among themselves and
finally casting one vote for their
state.
TRICkERY amendment
1t would hardly seem that the
electors would be keeping faith
with the people if they should use
such trickery to swing the election
1t they did it would certainly arouse
public anger and the horse-and-bug-
gy election law would be changed
to prevent recurrence. But the
public would probably be powerless
to do anything to prevent the man
elected by the house from becOm-
ing president.
The fact that this possibility has
arisen and is being considered,
should be enough to bring immedi-
ate action in the new congress to
amend the sections of the consti-
tuition governing elections. But,
even though the law may seem
antiquated as well as unfair, there
are a good many states which
might object to changing it. For
the elector setup gives the smaller
states more influence in an election
than they would have if we voted
directly for president. If we had
direct election the majority of the
people would determine the winner,
but the vote in states like New
York or Pennsylvania would make
the vote in some or the smaller
states seem like a drop in a buck
ct.
But even though it might be diff
cult to get rid of the elector system
