Eleetoral-College . Showdown (St. Lounis Star-Times) By, a vete of 210 to 134, the House has voted to $ kill the proposal for electoral-cellege reform. There were not enough members in either party willing to put principle and logic ahead of political 'self-interest. Under the plan each State would be assigned elec- toral votes as at present. Those votes would be divided, though, in proportion to the number of popular votes | cast for the presidential candidates. If two-thirds of the popular vote of a given State goes for a Republican under the present system, the Republican gets all of that State’s electoral votes. But under the proposed revision, the Republican would get only two-thirds of the electoral votes and the Democrat would get the rest — provided there were no additional candidates running. The change would make the elecuon of presidents a more accurate reflection of popular will. Tt would prohibit the possibility under the, present system of electing the candidate with the fewer popular votes. Cominon sense calls for this reform, just as it Thursday, August 10, 1950 “POWDER OR PENSIONS” George N. Craig, National Commander of the American Legion, gave a remarkable speech in Indi- anapolis recefitly,pyiflu St Louis Star~Times. 1In it} it o ‘#“ i natlomal TN m‘ galled for decades for abolition of the “lame-duck” itself did not! make the speech remarkable, for there Session of Congress, Thanks!to_ the statesmanship of are many calls for national unity, usually on the {he late Senator George Norris, common sense finally terms of thes speaker.
