Senator Humphrey, Democrat,

Most of the Senators agreed
that the electoral college had
never functioned as the nation s
fathers had originally intended.
The difference of opinion arose
over how to replace it.
Four Changes Voted Down.
The Senate worked through sew
eral roll calls to get the final vote.
After accepting the Lucas pro-
posal by voice vote. Senators sue
cessively voted down:
/. A substitute by Senator Lam
ger. Republican, of North Dakota,
calling for direct primaries, and
direct election of the President
and Vice President by popular
vote.
2. A substitute by Senator
Humphrey providing for election
of a President and Vice President
by direct popular vote.
8. An amendment by Senator
Mundt. Republican, of South Da-
