Rep. Dorn Favors
Abolition Of
Electoral College
Greenville — Rep. W. J. Bryan
Dorn yesterday in a talk before
the Greenville Lions club advocat-
1 college and election of the presi-
ed the abolishment of the electoral
dential candidate by popular vote.
Speaking at the club’s regular
luncheon meeting in the ballroom
of the Poinsett hotel, the represen
tative of the Third Congressional
District said that such a move
would wrest the control of the
president’s office out of the hands
of the pressure groups.
Under the present system, he
continued, the best presidential!
possibilities are by-passed and the!
candidates are selected through
political compromise.
Mr. Dorn also placed part of the
blame of corruption in Washington
on that segment of the public
which is continuously demanding
favors and urged that “you help
your congressmen to be statesmen
by backing them in constructive
efforts.” He called the present for
eign policy an “international pro
gram in fraud and flop" and said
that a “Monroe Doctrine for the
free world” backed by” American
military power is the only thing
today which will save the world
from Russian domination.”
The present Korean conflict, ac
cording to Mr. Dorn, is the bitter
est struggle in the history of the
world with no possibility of victory
under the present policy. Compar
ing the situation in Korea today
with the time at which General
MacArthur was relieved, Mr. Dom
said he considered it possible that
MacArthur was' removed from
command for “fear he would win.”
(An Editorial In The
New York World-Telegram)
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s
political enemies now attack him
for the very quality that makes
him great.
That quality is Gen. Eisenhow
er’s extraordinary ability to weld
all sorts of persons into an effec
tive, harmonious, winning team.
Great leaders must have that
faculty, whether they are football
coaches, military men or states
men. George Washington demon
strated it in marked degree—first
in war, then in peace.
Gen. Eisenhower has made it
clear he does not agree with all of
the viewpoints of all the people
working for his election.
But, he has pointed out, they and
he are working toward the same
goal — to clean up the mess in
Washington, and to provide Amer
ica and the world sound, construc
tive leadership.
During World War II, Gen. Eis *
enhower plainly did not accept all j
the viewpoints of all his team-
mates: Montgomery, Alexander,
Bradley, GiraucT, DeGaulle, Zhu
kov, to name a few. Nor did he
always agree with his coaches, J
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston
Chujchill and Josef Stalin.
WTien Gen. Patton slapped a sol
dier, he felt the fury of Gen. Eis
enhower’s tongue—but Gen. Eis
enhower kept Gen. Patton on the
team when others called for his
hide. When Mr. Churchill de
manded a grandstand seat at the
Normandy invasion, Gen. Eisen
hower politely and firmly ordered
him back to London.
And so Gen. Eisenhower quar-
erbacked that strange and won
derful team—and the war in Eu
rope was won.
Nobody in those days damned
him for “embracing” a teammate.
Nobody sneered at him for
“compromising” hisfideals.
Nobody ; called him a “captive”
of Josef Stalin.
He was everybody’s hero.
For these accomplishments, Gen.
Eisenhower deserved and received
the devotion of America. Because
of them, he became a candidae for
the Presidency—by popular de
mand.
Now, some of those Americans
who yesterday led the cheering
have taken to yapping at his
heels— ,
Yapping about the quality that
makes hihi"gffatT
The quality that can bring na
tional unity—which has made Gen.
Eisenhower the man of the hour in
the present grave emergency, when
the highest office in the land de
mands the sarongest leadership the
nation can provide.
Gen. Eisenhower isn’t a fancy
dan orator. But in words anyone
can understand, he has stated the
purposes of his candidacy, which
are:
“Sweep out of government the
corruption and scandal which have
brought us dishonor at home and
disrespect abroad.
“Banish the subversive and in
competents who have crucified
both decent public servants and
decent public service.
‘Strengthen, revitalize and
brighten American leadership in a
free world.”
A big undertaking? Yes, it is.
But so was the landing in Nor
mandy, which carried our flag to
Paris and Berlin.
When Gen. Eisenhower took that
in stride he demonstrated that he
knew how to do a big job in a big
way. He can handle this new
chore the same way.

Safety Promoted
By New Law,
McMillan Says
Columbia — Promotion of safer
travel on the highways is one of
the principal aims of South Caro
lina’s Motor Vehicle Safety Re
sponsibility Law, Chief Commis
sioner Claude R. McMillan of the
State Highway Department said
today.
The law will go into effect Jan
uary 1.
The recognized statistical fact
that financially irresponsible driv
ers are involved in more accidents
than other drivers has prompted all
states in the nation to adopt some
forms of financial responsibility
law, the official said.
The new South Carolina law re
quires suspension of the driving
privileges and vehicle registra-; be involved either as an owner or
tions of any person convicted of i driver of a vehicle. This proof may
reckless driving or for driving
while drunk until that person L
able to furnish proof of ability to
be in the form of liability insur
ance, bond or cash.

How United States
. Elects President
Told In Compilation
Just how does the United States
elect a President?
, This is the burning question
these days as the candidates for
the various parties square off for
Nov. 4. ,
The Charleston District Office of
the U. S. Department of Commerce
has answered that question witn a
reproduction of the precise consti
tutional mandate on the subject,
incorporating various amendments
written into it since our forefathers
laid down the nation’s basic law.
Did you know, for example, that
no person “holding an office of
trust or profit under the United
States” shall be appointed an elec
tor?
The Presictent and vice president
cannot come from the same state?
The votes must be counted in the
presence of the President of the
♦ Senate meeting with the Senate
and House of Representatives?
What happens if a President is
not chosen before the time fixed
for the beginning of his term, or
if the President-elect fails to -qual
ify?
Each State has its own statute on
the subject, some of them of vary
ing design, but all must follow in
general terms the language of the
constitution.
