pears to be today. with several
hundred thousand absentee bal

The incomplete percentages.
which could be even closer
when the absentee ballots are
counted, show Senator Ken
nedy would have gotten a frac-
ton above 271 electoral votes,
and Mr.. Nixon just under 266
in the Electoral College. The
number needed to win was 269.
If the apportionment plan
were in effect today. Senator
Kennedy might even drop be-
low 271 if the unpledged elec-
tors in Mississippi and Alabama
finally voted for some third
person. But he probably would
still have won the election, be-
cause the apportionment plan
considered in 1856 reduced the
number Of votes required to
win from a majority to As per
cent Of all the lectoral votes.
The reduction to IS per cent
was Q concession to the oppon-
ents. who had argued that 1t
would be harder for any candi-
date to get a majority under
the apportionment plan, and
that more elections would be
thrown into the House for set
tlement.
Senator Mansfield indicated
yesterday that he has been
prompted to begin preparation
of new legislation for the jan
uary session mainly because of

But Senator sMansheld has
revised both Of these proposals,
and 1t will be interesting to see
II the closeness Of this election
has altered the viewpoint Of
most members of Congress.
Taft Lead Opposition
Tha late Senator Robert A.
Taft played q prominent role
in stopping the 1850 consti-
tutional amendment of Mr..
Lodge for apportioning the
electoral vote according to the
popular vote. After it had
passed the Senate, Senator
Taft wrote a letter to all Re-
publicans in the House, tell
ing them that the change
would be fatal to the election
Of a Republican President in
any close election.
In a similar letter at that
time. former Senator Lodge
insisted he was not afraid to
entrust the Republican cause
to the people.

OF Electoral
Vote Count

Following is a comparison of
the electoral vote in last Tues
days election as computed by
the Associated Press under
existing law and as calculated
by dividing each States elec-
toral votes in proportion to its
popular vote. The results are
only approximate. since this
table does not include returns
from some precincts and nearly
100000 absentee ballots. Also,
for the purposes of this table,
the existence of unpledged
electors in several Southern
States was ignored in making
the division according to popu-
lar vote.

nessee. even though President
Eisenhower carried the state,
He said that in le4s, al
though the Democrats carried
California. Ohio and Illinois,
the Republicans would have
won a majority Of the electoral
votes Of those States.
City-Rural Fight
The debate in 1856 made it
clear that the fight to change
the Electoral College system
has always been q battle be-
tween the big cities and the
wide-open spaces.
The advocates Of change
contended the present system
enables the big cities to deter
mine how the pivotal States
will go. The defenders of the
present system argued that
proposed changes would mag
nifty the power Of ; the one
party States.
The Senate also had a chance
in 1856 to vote on the complete
abolition Of the Electoral Col
lege and the picking of Presi-
dents by Nationwide popular
vote. but it rejected this pro-
posal twice.
The first motion would have
provided for picking the party
nominees in a Nationwide pri-
mary. to be followed by a Ma
tion-wide popular election. This
was defeated, SO to 13.
Later it was modified by
dropping the Nationwide pri-
mary as substitute for con-
ventions, and providing only

But unless there has been a

otal big States with the major
cities this new drive may not

many others that have failed
over the years.

toral votes to the man who gets
a majority of the popular votes.
no matter how small that ma
jority may be.
One proposal frequently de-
bated in Congress has been to
apportlon the electoral vote in
each State according to the
percentage of popular vote.
Colleges Abolition Urged
Since election day last week
Senator Mansfield has revived
the more direct remedy OF
abolishing the electoral college
and letting the popular Ma
tion-wide vote decide the elec-
ton. Senator Mansfield said
yesterday, however. he put that
forward as a tentative sugges-
ton, and would welcome dis
!cussion of any alternative re-
form.
The last time the issue came
to head in Congress was in
1856, when the Senate mus
tered a majority of 48 to 81 for
a composite solution which
would have offered each State
a choice of two new methods
of counting its electoral vote.
A State could either apportion
the ELECTRICAL vote according
to popular vote or choose its
electors in the same manner
in which it elects its Senators
and Representatives: that is,
two by Statewide vote and the
rest by congressional districts.
The 49-to-37 vote in favor
of this plan was less than the
two-thirds required for a con-
stitutional amendment, and its
sponsors joined opponents in
sendig it back to committee
for further study.
Measure Dies in House
Ten years ago, in 1850, the
Senate passed by the required
two-thirds the Lodge-Gos
Resolution, which provided only
for the apportionment of the
electoral vote in the same
ratio as the popular vote. The
Senate roll call was 81 to q
in favor, but the measure died
in the House.
It is an interesting coinci-
dence that Senator Kennedy
joined Senator Douglas. Dem
ocrat Of Illinois, in leading the
fight against the revamping Of
the Electoral College system
in 1856.
It is an equally interesting
bit of history that for many
years prior to his departure
from the Senate in 1852, Henry
Cabot Lodge, who was Mr.,
Nixon's running mate, spon-
sored the apportionment meth
cd Of bringing the electoral
vote more into line with the
popular vote.
On the basis of returns
which are still not complete,
The Star has figured out that
Senator Kennedy would still
have nosed out Mr.. Nixon in
this election even If the ap-
portionment plan had been in
effect.
But the result would have

Present View Unknown

Senator Mansfield has no in
formation as to how President
elect Kennedy feels today about
the need for revamping the
Electoral College. But the views
he expressed in the Senate four
years ago take on added i'm
portance now.
Senator Kennedy said that
of the two options offered the
States at that time he thought
the Statewide apportionment
of the electoral vote perhaps
would be more satisfactory, but
still not sufficiently satisfactory
He predicted that if the two
alternatives had been approved
in 1856, most of the States
would have chosen the con-
gressional district method
rather than apportionment OF
the electors according to State
wide popular vote.
The Massachusetts, Senator
argued that If the congress
sional district plan had beer
the law in 1852. the Democrats
would have received a mojority

the possibility that q few un-
pledged Southern electors might
have held the power of decision
II the final count failed to give
party nominee the required ma
jority Of 269.
There are at least II electors
eight in Mississippi and 6 in
Alabana-who were not pledged
to Senator Kennedy or anyone
else.
During the 1866 debate SEN
ator Kennedy said:
"I think the present system Il
fairer than the other two pro-
posed today (the Statewide
apportionment or the naming OF
electors by congressional dis
tricts). ! think perhaps there is
something wrong with the pres
ent system, but I think it
would be compounded by the
adoption of this strange hybrid
on which we are about to vote" "
He was referring to the two
part alternative plan sponsored
by former Senator Daniel Of
Texas and Senators Mundt. Re-
publican of South Dakota. and
Thurmond. Democrat of South
Carolina.

if they are in the sun any

tive skin sunburns, and then

you cut, say your hand, ma
ture takes immediate action
and begins to seal the wound
against possible infection
from the air.
Ditto. the cut flowers.
However, this does not leave
the stem open to absorb
water freely for long life in
a vase. To prevent this seal
ing (drying) of the stems,
plunge the stems into water
almost to the base of the
blossoms as soon as cut or
brought home.
Do not attempt to arrange
flowers for at least two
hours.
Certain flowers, however.
bleed among them the
dahlias, oriental poppy, poin-
Settia, etc. In their case, it
is well to seal their ends by
passing them through a
flame or dipping the ends in
boiling water for a brief mo-
ment before putting them in
water.
Evening star., 1960-07-06

In arranging the flowers
in container be sure it is
large enough to permit free
circulation of air and proper
absorption of water. Crowd
ing chokes the flowers and
naturally shortens their life.
Water in containers should
be changed daily. Means Of
keeping water pure are: Add
a bit of charcoal or three
drops of formalin to a quart
of water. When changing the
water. it is tradition to cut
half an inch or so from the
ends of the stems with a
slanting, clean cut. Do not
cut straight across.
Any leaves which will be
under water should be re-
moved from the stem.

yet of the benefit, but I have
found aspirin prolongs the
life Of cut flowers.
1t is fun to experiment. I
have also known people to
take their cut flowers and
lay them full length in a
tub Of cool water for the
night.
One more caution, and this
is from an authentic source.
Cut flowers should not be
kept in the draught of an
open window or door or an
electric fan. Nor should they
be exposed to bright sunlight.
In winter, do not keep
them near a hot radiator and,
if possible, keep the room
humid.
Illumination gas or fumes
from furnaces, ranges or oil
burners quickly cause flow
