process. The third and final move
is made when Congress in joint
session counts the electoral votes
on January Z.
Barring some totally unex-
lpected development, President
Eisenhower will be declared the
winner by Asst electoral votes to
"A for Adlai E. Stevenson. The
latter carried only seven States
in the popular count. A winner
must poll 266 electoral votes.
3 Disregard Custom
The total popular vote as tab
ulated by the Associated Press
was Mr.. Eisenhower 35,575,420
and Mr.. Stevenson 26,033. 066,
with Rhode Islands vote still un-
official pending completion Of an
absentee vote count.
Under the Constitution, the
electors, equalling the number Of
Senators and Representatives in
each State, are free to vote as
they please. Actually it has
always been the custom for an
elector to cast his vote for the
candidate receiving the highest
popular vote in his State.
Michael F Doyle Of Philadel-
Iphia. speaking as president" Of
the Electoral College, said in
1919 only 3 out Of 1879 cleo
tors who had participated in Al
presidential elections betrayed
their trust and voted for others
than whom they were commits
stoned"
The most recent case in which
an elector departed from GUS
tom was in Tennessee in 1913.
One elector there was on both
the Democratic and States
Rights ticket He cast his vote
for Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina, the States Rights cam
didate, rather than for Presi-
dent Truman. who carried the
State.
The Electoral College has
withstood many attempts to
change it.
To Preuare Sig Lists
Some critics of the system
favor electing the President by
direct popular vote. Others favor
retaining the present system, but
permitting a split of electoral
votes within States in proportion
to the popular vote. Any change
would require an amendment to
the Constitution.
The electors meeting today in
the State capitals are required to
prepare six lists Of elector candi-
date and the total vote for each.
One copy must be sent directly
to the president of the Senate
(Vice President Nixon, two
copies go to the Secretary of
State Of the electors State, two
are sent to the General Services
Administration, parent of the
National Archives. and one to the
Federal district judge in whose
district the electors meet.
The GSA must preserve one of
its copies. having it available for
public inspection. It must hold
the other subject to the order Of
the president Of the Senate, a
sort of backstop for the copy the
latter receives directly.

What Can Be DOnec
One of Rudy's main concerns is
what can be done to prevent a repe-

a natural gamble for the average
farmer TO leave the machine run

to unjam the machine when it is
IN motion.
The least that could be done. he
