The angels called a meeting

old Bootleg Trail lies the ranch of Mr..

Upon approaching the Trebesch

however. and soon the Electoral
College was chosen from states pre-
sented by the parties.
Mr.. Turner's deviation on Mon
day may instigate new attempts
in the 85th Congress to find a SUBJ
stitution for the Electoral College.
Many alternate proposals have been
offered in Congress in recent years,
the last as recently as the second
session of the Gath Congress.
Some plans have asked for merely
a count Of the popular vote. Other
proposals would allot electoral votes
according to the popular vote, with
the losing candidate in any given
State receiving his proportion Of
electoral votes.
All Of these attempts have met
determined resistance-not because
there exists any widespread con-
fidence in the present obsolete
method. but because no alterna-
tive proposal satisfies all Of the
political or sectional interests in
volyed. Small States fear the popu-
lar vote method because they see
in it a danger Of increased influence

ment plan is opposed by many who
say that it would result in the
appearance Of many splinter par
ties.
