THE WEAK LINK
OF ELECTING
No Law to Compel Electors to
Choose Candidate Who Is
Successful at Polls.
IN m SYSTEM
O hnvtt left tho choice of
chief magistrate to a direct
topular vote over tho whole
country would have raised
a dangerous excitement nnd would
have given too much encouragement
to candidates of merely popular gifts,"
says Jnnies Bryce, uow British nuibas
sador to tho United States, In his
"American Commonwealth."
"if evor the tranquillity of thlB na
tion is to be disturbed and its liberties
endnngcred by a struggle for power it
will bo upon this very subject of the
choice of a president," said Chancellor
Kent In his discussion of tho method
sf electing the president.
Tho makers of the constitution, with
full appreciation of the danger of sub
jecting the fortunes of tho country to
the caprices of the multitude, nfter
long nnd 6crlous consideration rcnehed
the conclusion that It would not bo
safe or prudent to refer the election of
president directly nnd Immediately to
tho people and conllded this power to
a small body of electors appointed In
each state, under tho direction of its
legislature, and as a further safeguard
against negotiation. Intrigue, nnd cor
ruption Intrusted congress with tbe
power to determine the time of choos
ing the electors, the dny on which
they should be chosen and that the
day of their' election should be tho
same In all tho states. Each state in
entitled to the same number of presi
dential electors as It has senators and
representatives in the federal con
gress. No senator or representative or
other person holding an olllce of trust
or profit under the United States can
be chosen or appointed a presidential
elector. The legislature of each state
has absolute power to determine how
the electors shall be appointed.
Dougherty's Comment.
"The word 'nppointed,' " says Dough
erty In his admirable work on "The
Electoral System of the United States,"
"Is highly significant. It was design
edly employed. It Is not a democratic
term; there Is no Indication of a pop
ular election in it. Tho convention
could not have employed a stronger
expression to impart the plenary au
thority of the state."
"Tho theory of tlio electoral college,"
said tho senate committee on privi
leges nnd elections in 187-1, "was that
a body of men should bo chosen for
the express purpose of electing a presi
dent and vlco president who would
bo distinguished by their eminent abil
ity and wisdom, who would not be In
fluenced by tumult, cabal or intrigue,
and that In the choice of the president
they would be left perfectly free to ex
ercise their judgment in the selection
of tlio proper person."
Tho object of tho framers of the con
stitution was to save tho country from
tho blighting effects of party spirit
against which Washington protested
so vigorously In his farewell address,
holding that "the right of the people to
establish government presupposes the
duty of every Individual to obey the es
tablished government" and that "all
obstructions to tho execution of the
laws, all combinations and associa
tions under whatever plausible char
acter with tho real design to direct,
control, counteract or awe tlio regular
deliberation and action of the consti
tuted authorities, are destructive of
this fundamental principle and of fa
Uil tendency. They serve to organize
faction, to givo It an artificial and
extraordinary force, to put In the place
of tho delegated will of tho nation the
will of a party, often a small but artful
and enterprising minority of tho com
munity, and, according to the alternate
triumphs of different parties, to make
tho public administration tho mirror
of tho 111 concerted and incongruous
projects of faction rather than the or
gan of consistent nnd wholesome plans
digested by common counsels .and
modified by mutual Interests."
This Is a representative government,
not n pure democracy; a government
of checks and balances, of law and
order; a government of independent
states in which the least has equal rep
resentation with tile greatest In the
senate of tho country; n government of
tho minority equally with tho majority.
The Original Procedure.
Under tho constitution ns originally
adopted tho candidates for president
and vlco president wero voted for In
tho electoral college of each state with
out designating which tho elector in
tended for tho first and which for the
second olllce. Lists of theso were
transmitted to U10 seat of the federal
government, nnd tho candldato having
tho greatest number (if a majority of
tho whole) of votes cast becuine presi
dent, and tho ono hnvlng tho nest
greatest number of votes became vice
president If tho two highest candi
dates received nn equal number of
votes tlio house of representatives pro
ceeded immediately to chooso by bal
lot ono of them for president, voting
by states, each stato having one vote
and a majority of all the states being
necosHary to a choice. In enso of a
tlo on the vice president tho senate
chose between tho candidates hnvlng
an equal number of votes.
This arrangement was not satisfac
tory and resulted In the twelfth amend-
THE PRESIDENT
t
1912 Popular Vote Will Exceed
15,000,000266 Electoral
Votes Needed to Win.
mcnt to the constitution, which changed
the mode of voting for the two ollleers,
the electors being required to vote sep
arately for president nnd vice presi
dent, naming In their ballots the per
son voted for as president nnd In dis
tinct ballots the person voted for ns
vice president.
Tho thoory of tins frnmers of tho
constitution wns that by means of the
electoral college tho best men of tho
country would lie chopen In the several
districts and they could better express
the wishes of tlio people concerning n
choice of president nnd vlco president
than a vote directly by the people for
theso officers. The doctoral college is
composed of doctors chosen by the
people at nn election held for the pur
pose on the same dny In nil the states.
Tho basis of representation In tho elec
toral college Is population, but It Is
moro than this, tho constitution guar
anteeing to each stnte equnl represen
tation In the United States senate, so
that, In addition to Its representation
In the elc'onil college on the basis
of population, every state Is entitled to
equal representation because it is a
state.
Electors Not Sound.
There is no constitutional command
or statutory provision, which would be
worthless without constitutional war
rant, requiring the members of the
electoral college to vote for the candi
date of any political party, but the
unwritten law requires tiiat the elec
tors, though selected because of their
wisdom and Integrity to discharge the
highest duty known to our Institutions,
shall vote not as their wisdom would
direct, but ns their partisan obligations
demand.
This Is ono of the weak places in the
system which has long given serious
concern to those who take a philosoph
ic view of tho American experiment
When Washington determined not to
be n candidate for a third term party
divisions and party names appeared,
with the result that the twelfth amend
ment to the constitution was adopted,
which assures practically direct popu
lar election of president and vice pres
ident, tlie candidates being named by
the conventions of contending political
parties, the party system, though with
out tho sanction of law, amounting in
effect to the choice of president by di
rect vote of the people in all the states,
the electors chosen by popular vote be
ing merely the Instruments to record
tho will of the voters. "The United
States has no machinery of Its own
for electing presidents," that business
pertaining exclusively to tho states nnd
with but slight restriction from tho
federal authority.
Tho germ of tho so called preferen
tial primary of the day is imbedded In
the present electoral system. Hamil
ton was much impressed with the wis
dom of the plan adopted by the con
vention which framed tlio constitution,
because, In his opinion, It promised ef
fectual security against the tumult and
disorder by which communities would
be convulsed In times of great parti
Ban activity. Gouverneur Morris, Ben
jamin Franklin, John Dickinson, James
Wilson nnd Daniel Carroll all advocat
ed the election of president by tho
people. On tho other hand, Roger
Sherman of Connecticut thought that
"tho peoplo would never bo sufficiently
informed of tho character of men to
vote intelligently for the candidates
that might bo presented." Elbridgo
Gerry of Massachusetts regarded a
popular election as "radically vicious,"
and George Mason of Virginia declared
that "It would be ns unnatural to re
fer tho choice of a proper person for
president to the people as to refer a
trial of colors to a blind man."
The Case of Harrison In 1888.
As n result the electoral plan was
devised and has continued with such
modification ns the twelfth amend
ment provides to the present time. A
good enough system In Itself In fair
weather, it has on occasion developed
defects which havo threatened the
pence and security of tho country, ns,
for exnmplo, In tlio great contest of
187C, when extraordinary measures
wero resorted to for tho purpose of ior
pctunting tlie power of party control.
Though the president is not elected
by tho people, ho is, In fact, elected by
tho people and In somo cases by a mi
nority of tho people, as In 1SS8 when
Mr. Harrison was elected president, al
though Mr. Cleveland had n majority
of tho popular vote.
Tho twelfth amendment to tho con
stitution was ratified in 1800 nnd be
enme effective in tho presidential elec
tion of 1801, when Jefferson, Repub
lican, was elected president by n vote
of 102. nis opponent was Charles
Cotesworth Piuckney, Federalist, who
received fourteen votes. In 1003 Tuft
received 821 c&ctornl votes and Bryan
1(52. Tho popular voto for president In
1008 aggregated 14.8S8.4-12. The vote
for tho Tnft electors was T.C78.008 und
for tlio Bryan electors 0,109,104. Tho
Tuft popular majority over Uryaii was
1,209,804 and over all candidates 409.
374. Tlio popular voto In tho election
next November will exceed 15,000,000.
Tlio number of votw In tho electoral
college will bo 631. Tho number nec
essary to election win bo 200.
