2 THE BIS DIRECT ELECTION OF PRESIDENT IS SEEN BY SENATOR NORRIS Says Efforts to Abolish Elector- al College Will Be Seen Before Long Washington, Oct. 20.—\4)—Shifts in the electoral power of 32 states and the prospect of agitation for di- rect election of president have rais- | ed the electoral college to a new} eminence in political argumentation. Senator Norris of Nebraska has just arraigned the system as “antiquated | and useless;” and predicted congress before long will see an attempt to} abolish the method by which every; president has been formally chosen | since George Washington back in 1789. A constitutional amendment would be necessary, since the present meth- | od was written into that document by the ccavention which framed it.| Under its provision, on Nov. 8 presi- | Gential electors will be selected by di- rect vote in each state—each state| electing a number equal to its seats} in congress—for a national aggregate | of 531. | In each state the electors will vote | the second Monday in January, cer-| tify their ballots and send them to Washington, with each state vote go- ing as a unit for the candidate fa- vored by a majority of the state elec- | tors, n the second Wednesday in the ballots will be counted | by the president of the senate in the} presence of both the house and sen-! ate. Only then will the official re- sult of the election be made known. ‘A majority of the electoral college | votes, or 266, is necessary to elect a president. | Through reapportionment of the| house of representatives, the elector- al power of 32 states has been chang- ed by the transfer of 27 votes, as} compared with 1928. | As the constitution fixed the num- ber of senators at two for each state, | changes in electoral college voting| Strength are based upon house re- apportionment, predicated upon pop-| ulation. Reapportionment is requir-; ed each 10 years under the constitu-| tion. i On the basis of the 1930 census, 27 seats in the house were transferred | from 21 to 11 states. There is no| unanimity as to whether or how the changes will benefit one party or} another.

Crile, noted {Cleveland surgeon, told an audience ,;at the community health meeting of jthe American College of Surgeons jhere Wednesday night. Dr. Crile listed as necessary achieve- ments in further progress the control jand mastery of remaining infectious |diseases, especially pneumonia; under- standing of the factors leading to dia- betes and diseases of the heart and | blood vessels; and the solving of the mystery of cancer and its cure. “That ache in your back,” when not due to injury, may come from too much work or too little, too hard play or lack of exercise, Dr. Philip H. Kreuscher of Chicago, informed the gathering. “Bome people are too thin and have | ¢ backache because the nerves and bones are not covered sufficiently with fat,” he explained. “Others are too fat and carrying about the extra weight gives them backache.” Glassford Tenders His Resignation 20.— Washington, Oci. —Pelham D.

To Address Teachers His engagements included the ex- tending of greeting to county and state Democratic officials and to 20,- 000 school teachers in convention in the afternoon. Heading across Ohio and Indiana into Illinois, the governor entered what political observers regard as_ hotly-disputed territory. In a brief jaunt through a corner of Ohio Wednesday, Governor Roo- sevelt told citizens of Steubenville that he “had no doubt” how the state would go in November. He also told the residents of that city and of Weirton, W. Va., another steel town | across the river, that when next he returned to the section he hoped “the | wheels of industry will be turning again.” | He promised, if elected, to do all in the power of the federal gov- nment to that end. i Both at Wheeling and at Pitts- burgh. the governor said the sights he had seen in his 150-mile auto trip, had “distressed” and “saddened” him. All day the skies were overcast but! the threat of rain did not material-| ize and seats in the Forbes Ficld stands were filled when the governor leunched his address, accusing the administration of “concealment and yy nce of explicit statement from | s he determined the day after | ing” on the bonus issue. “Roosevelt indicated,” he told news- papermen, “that if there was a sur- plus in the treasury he would pay the bonus next week. He hasn't met the issue. He still is dodging. He hasn't indicated whether as president he would sign a bonus bill or not.” HURLEY FOLLOWS SUIT Omaha, Neb.—Secretary of War) % Patrick J.

The demand was made Wednesday in the house of commons by George Lansbury, Labor party leader, after Prime Minister MacDonald, note of the disturbance Tuesday, cleared the way for debate. “I demand that the damnable ‘means test’ be abolished,” Lansbury said, “and thet every man be given a chance of decent existence.” The so-called “means test” in the present “dole” regulations is a pro-| a. vision that before a person can re- ceive unemployment insurance he must show proof that he has not the means to subsist normally, even though he is not employed.
