The proposal Is In harmony with all
flic various progresnive efforts tewaru
i "mefTatlzing our Government, such as
direct primaries nnd the direct election
et benntnrs.
Changes Apparently Technical
The changce proposed en their face
seem fivliti ;,.,.! ., .i .... i i

find the chnngc With respect te the date
of assembling Congress has the support
i cen-ervntivcs llKe Senatew Pepper
and Btnndege. It nt least seems likely
te be accepted.
Actuallj the proposal te abolish the
Electoral College, although the Institu
tion is obsolete, premises te be the mere
important of the two in its practical
effect.
WRONG methods in Ad-
vertising discredit geed
advertising. Select your
advertising counseller
carefully.
The object Senater Norris had, in
mind .in advancing this proposal wan te
make easier the operation of third
parties. If, he thinks, the names nf
candidates for President could go
directly en the ticket, no mirh organi ergani organi
sateon or machinery as in new required
would be necessary te put independent
candidates in the field for President
nnd Vice President. Fer example, in
11)20, If tickets had rend for President,
Warren O. Harding, .lames M. Cox tint!
Hlrnm Jehnsen, with their party
names, Jehnsen would have had u
chance of carrying many States.
Suppose the change had the effect
Mr. Norris believes it would of greatly
increasing the prospects of third par
ties. One consequence would be, if
n iirenK-up ei party systems ensued,
that no candidate for President would
have n majority of the electoral vote.
Thus the election of President would
be thrown into the Heuse of Repre
sentatives. Elections te Continue By Slates
Mr. Norris' resolution does net go
te the direct election of President by n
majority of the popular vote. The
election would be by States, candidates
being credited with the electoral vote
of ihc States they carried, ns at present.
This is done because there would be
no chance of having the nmendment
adopted by the Southern States if It
contemplated a mere totaling of the
popular vote throughout the ceuntrv.
The Southern States, casting such "n
smnll popular vote, would, in that case,
hnve their influence en the election
grcntly reduced.
Mr. Norris bees the possibility that,
if third parties did spring up, the elec
tion might often go Inte the Heuse
nnd replies that no mere representative
body than a newly elected Heuse could
be found for the purpose of cheesing the
President.
If the election of the President often
went into the Heuse the power nnd Im
portance of Congress would be enor
mously Increased. At any rate, the
prompt meeting of Congress in January
would greatly increase Its authority and
influence. An clccternte having re
forms in mind would concentrate en the
cheesing of n Congress which would
promptly register its will. As it is
new, the President can determine when
the new Congress shall function.
These proposals arc thus In line with
the tendency toward the strengthening
of Congress nt the expense of the Ex
ecutive. The swing toward the domi
nant Executive, which started with
Roosevelt, ended with the election of
Hnrding. It has started new in the
opposite direction.
These arc the possibilities which the
Progressives see in their proposed
amendments. Of course, as in the cne
of se many ether changes which hnve
been adopted in the past, like direct
primaries and the direct election of
Senators, their effects in practice may
fall far short c-Ywhat Is expected of
them. .
Although the two-party system hns
been weakened by the development of
blocs, It is still powerful. This Is
shown by the core of Iho Progressives
te avoid any appearance of disloyalty
te their parties.
l'reslcient nnrciing s oppemrion ih
overstressed. It is net likely thnt the
reporting of the amendments In the Men
ate was In mind when the White Heuse
tnnde known Ita opinion that the Con
stitution should net be changed. More
over, th President has no veto power
en ft Joint resolution of the (Aon (Aen
gress presenting a constitutional
amendment.
The nmendment reported by the Agri
cultural Committee will prebnbly be
referred te the Judiciary Committee,
where it may encounter difficulties. The
proposal for the meeting of Congress
en January 1 has apparently mere sup
port than that for doing away with
the Electoral College.
