PAGE SIX THE DAILY ALASKZ, EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA MONDAY, MAY 3, 1948 ELECTORAL | COLLEGETO HIT TRUMAN By MILT DEAN HILL WASHINGTON— Southern Dem- ocratic leaders angry at President Truman’s “civil rights’ ' proposals threaten to use their states’ elec- toral votes to defeat Mr. Truman in the November elec if he is the Democratic c idate To see what this means you first have to know what the Electoral College is and how it works. The Electoral College system a strange thing. Under it the next president could win even if he gets fewer votes than his opponent. The Constitution says the presi- dent must be chosen by a group of “qualitied” men known as electors. These men make up the Electoral College. The college meets after the elec- tion. Its only job is to choose the president, The votes of the electors make the election “official.” Each state has as many electors as it has senators and representatives in Congress. There are 96 senators (two from each state) and 435 rep- resentatives in all. Choosing Electors A state can choose its electors any way it wants to. In most states the names of the electors appear on the ballot. There are usually two lists. The Republicans have one and the Democrats have one. Generally the electors are listed under the is name of the candidate they fill vote for In other states, the electors’ names aren't even printed on the ballots. But no matter how obscure these electors may be, the United States After the electors cast their “offi- cial” votes, the ballots are sealed and sent to the president of the Senate| in Washington. ‘The votes are counted and record- ed at a joint session of the Senate and election isn't legal. In every state, the candidate who wins the most popular votes wins all the electoral vote from that state Because of his, a candidate could be elected president even though he won only 12 states: Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin. These dozen states have 269 elec-| toral votes, a majority in the Elee- toral College. Even if a candidate wins the other 36 states and has a| majority of the popular votes, he| loses the presidency. i ‘Minority’ Presidents Three times in U. 8. history presi- | dents have gone into the White| House with fewer popular votes than | their opponents. The first was in 1824. Andrew Jackson won more electoral votes than John Quincy Adams. But he lacked a majority since there was a third candidate. In such cases the law requires that the House choose the winner by simple majority, with each state casting one vote. Adams was elected. The House once elected a presi- dent because the electoral vote was tied. Thomas Jefferson was chosen over Aaron Burr. In 1876 Rutherford B. Hayes lost T SHERWOOD’S NorthStar DAIRY an't have a president without them. | the popular vote majority but won the presidency from Samuel Tilden with majority of the electoral vote Grover Cleveland beat Benjamin | Harrison the same way in 1884. Southerners’ Position The southern Democrats fighting Mr. Truman say they can refuse to cast the electoral votes from their ‘muil_v Democratic southern states. This might guarantee the election |of a Republican president or throw a House. Until that's done the|the election into the House of Rep- witt wrote some excruciating skech- product. | resentatives. These southern states control a block of 127 electoral votes. Without l‘them no Democrat could hope to be | elected. There have been many and fre- quent suggestions in Congress that i"h"‘ Electoral College be done away |with. But the Constitution would have to be changed to do this, and changing the Constitution is a siow process. -, Maybe Typewriters Are Beiter than Shove!s_l\fler All By JACK O'BRIAN NEW YORK-—Like all the fellows and gals who have to go to theat- rical first nights, I consistently get this sort of conversation from my friends outside the Eusiness: “What a lucky guy! Just think, all you have to do is go to all the glamouous opening nights. Pret-ty fe!” Well frinkly it's not the tough- est job in the history of work. I've | trucked freight, walloped docks, dug all sorts of holes in the grounds from sewers to graves, all though. But a play which could drive a slightly more sensitive soul into a dry dive out & hikh window, I occasionally long for that nice, cool, quiet sewer and that old faithful shovel. | | MILK Now Available... on sale at B.
