j.. ). Electoral College
Casts Votes Today
For Next President

The Nations 531 Presidential
electors today formally cast their
votes to elect the next Chief Ex-
ecutive of the United States. They
will meet and vote in the various
State capitals.
Under the Constitution, the
Electoral College has the legal
right, if it wishes, to elect Gov.
Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic
presidential candidate-or anyone
else.
But pollsters would be taking
almost no risk in predicting q 442
to SO victory for Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
That's the way the States voters
indicated they wanted their elec-
tors to vote when Gen. Eisenhower,
the Republican candidate, was
swept into Office by a record 49,
927,549 votes to Gov. StevenSon's
27,311,316 on November 4.
Electors Not Legally Bound.
Most electors are legally free to
vote as they please. Few States
bind electors by law to vote for
the candidate who carries the
State.
Nevertheless, wrong-way elec-
tors are extremely rare. Only
three out Of 14,379 electors in the
Nations history have voted "for
others than whom they were COM
missioned," according to former
electoral college president.
Latest such case occurred in 1948
when Tennessee went for Presi-
dent Truman, but one Of the
States IL electors cast his vote for
J. Strong Thurmond, States Rights
candidate.
Although today's vote is routine.
1t could have been highly Signih-
cant if anything had chanced to
happen to Gen. Eisenhower on his
Korean trip.
Could Name Any One.
In that case, the Electoral Col
1ege would be on its own in elect
ing the Nations next President
and most authorities say it would
not have been obligated to elect
Senator Richard Nixon, despite
the fact he was elected Vice Presi-
dent November 4.
After today, Mr.. Nixon auto
matically would succeed for he.
too, is being elected officially by
the college.
The final step under the much
criticized Electoral College system
comes January 6 when Congress
meets to record the results, with
the presiding officer of the Senate
tolling off the electors votes.
Some believe the time has come
to discard the college and let the
Nations voters elect the President
by popular vote.
Others favor retaining the pres
ent system, but changing it to per-
NIT split of electoral votes with.
in States. At present, one candi-
date gets all a States electoral
votes, even If he wins the State
by just small margin.

QUOTATION
THE GOOD TEACHER

To save a considerable portion of
the rising generation from falling
back into the condition of half-ci-
vilized or savage life, what other in
strumentality does society afford
than to send into every obscure and
hidden district in the state young
man on a young woman whose educa-
ton is sound; whose language is
well selected, whose pronunciation
and tones of voice are correct and
attractive; whose manners are gen.
tie and refined; all of whose topics
of conversation are eleyating and
instructive, whose benignity of
heart is constantly manifested in
acts of civility. courtesy, and kind
ness; and who spreads a nameless
charm over whatever circle may be
entered. Such a person should the
teacher of every common school be.
Teaching is the most difficult
of all arts and the profoundest of
all sciences. A love of children is an
essential requisite.

Masaoka stated that with the
transfer of the fight to the Senate
the immediate hurdle to be sur

calendar for debate and vote.
The Senate counterpart of the
Walter bill is known as the Mc-Car-
