May God bless each of you. —MR. AND MRS'WYMAN SHEALY, MRS. WYMAN SHEALY, JR.'; AND CHILDREN ylF YOU DON’T BEAD * THE CHRONICLE YOU DON'T GET THE/NEWS PEOPLE One Electoral Belorm Overdue FOR ALL THE clamor in de cent years over electoral in equities, the most blatant in equity of all remains unmti- edied, despite the fact tbe^'fB impact falls fully and exclus ively on the election of the .biro highest offices In the land— that of President and Vice President UNDER EXISTING LAW, the influence of an individual voter in the Presidential and Vice Presidential election proc ess varies widely according to the State in which the particu lar voter resides. The individual voter in Sjjuth Carolina casts his ballot tor a slate of eight Electors to represent him in the Electoral College, which for mally electa the President add Vice President In New York, however, each individual casts his ballot for & slate of 43 Electors. In Delaware, as in four other States*- the individual voter influences the ejection of only three Electors. Thus, each individual vote cast in the State of New York has 14 times the Influence of a vote caft in any of the five smallest States in the Union. ._ ' J ■ - IT IS GBNBAAIXY, and la- d e e d almost itnanlmoiuly, agreed that a ehr"*’* la the existing process of . residential elections Is In order. Congres sional oommltOee* are atndytaf a variety qf Constitutional Amendments, which reveal broad differences as to the pre cise nature of the Inequity, ye well as the should be THE. for Instance, to this V ■but \ existing method of selecting the Presi dential Electors themselves. PRESIDENTIAL ELEC TIONS are now, and should re main, State elections. Elimina tion of the Electoral College would convert Presidential elec tions Into national elections and would, of necessity, give Con stitutional recognition and sanc tion to political parties and their nominating conventions. Political parties now have no standing onder the Constitu tion, and they should remain private and free of Federal reg ulation. THE MOST PREFERABLE Of proposed plans to amend the Presidential election process Is the “District Plan” embodied In S. J. Res. 12, of which I am a co-sponsor. Under this proposal, each voter, regardless of the State In which he resides, would cast his ballot for three Elec tors, one in hii Elector District (which would probably be similar to his Congressional District) and two statewide Electors. This plan would not only retain the Electoral Col lege, but it would also retain the representation principles of our Federal system. The state wide Electors, for which each voter would cast his ballot, would correspond to the voter’s two Senators The Elector from the voter’s own district would Correspond to the voter's Con gressman. The electoral roots of the Executive and Legisla tive Branches of Government Would be parallel. THE DISTRICT PLAN wonld krlbg Presidential elections f I p b e r to the people, and thereby encourage greater voter participation. It wonld demon- atopto more meaningfully to the voter hie Influence In the adw somewhat remote office of th« Presidency. If the Congress Is serious pbout the correction of elec toral inequities, the Presidential election process offers a ripe opportunity. Reform is overdue, and the “District Plan” offers the most constructive solution. OPEN FRIDAY NIGHT TIL 7:00 P. M.
