MOONE’'S EMERALD OIL " You und ELECTION SURE UNTIL JAN, ‘Washington, Nov. ¢ (UP)—Her- bert Hoover or Alfred E. Smith will be elected president but as a matter of fact the election will not -be offi- clal until the second Monday in January. . At that time a vote will be cast by the “Electoral College," a group of representative electors chosen by each state and equal to the combined representation of the state in the house of representatives and the senate. The Electoral College was estab- lished by Article 2 of the Constitu- tion, to be presently approved by the Twelfth Amendment after the Jefferson-Burr deadlock. The rea- son behind it was the ‘candid fear on the part of the farmers of the Constitution - that the people were Dot _able to decide .for. themaelves on the matter of the chief executive, The Electoral College idea was taken from the Constitution of Maryland and was againat the judg- ment of Benjamin Franklin, Robert Morris, and James Wiison, and was drafted ‘ihto the Federal document. These three favored direct election. No provision was made for the manner in which these representa- tive electors should be chosen. Neither was there a rule formed which compelled the electors of a state to vate in a unit for the can- didate who stood highest in their Tespective states. Thus there have been times when & state’s vote was divided but to the popularity of individual electors. Three elections bave gone against the popular vote. In 182¢ Andrew Jackson had a popular plurality of 50,000 votes, The Electoral College in January gave Jackson 99 votes to 84 for Adams But the 99 votes did not constitute a majority and the election was thrown into the house of representatives whereby a vote of 13 to 7.
