This is the view held by I'rol.
R. V. Shumate, of the political
science department.
Shumate said that if the Lodge
amendment, one of a long series
of proposals, would have been in
effect, the vote results would not
have been different.
Shumate also doubted that the
amendment will be ratified by
the 36 states necessary even if it
does pass the House of Repre
sentatives. It did pass the Sen
ate by a margin of two votes.
In the past, many such proposals
have been advanced but thus far ;
none has ever passed Congress. ,
Many believe, Shumate said,
that the electoral college is obso
lete, awkward, and undemo-
cratic. Obsolescence is claimed

serves the original purpose,
which was to have the president
chosen by a small select body.
Awkwardness is attributed to
it because it is Hssible for an
election to be thrown into the
House of Representatives in case ,
of absence of a majority, he said. ;
Lack of democracy is charged
because the electoral votes are
not apportioned in accordance
with the popular votes cast in
the states nor with the popula
tion itself.

it was 19,000. The Lodge amend
ment, he said, does not go all
the way in establishing popular
elections, and does not change
the ratios of electoral to pop- i

In the last election, a Repub- j
lican candidate in Nebraska got j
all the electoral votes because
the Republicans received a ma
jority. If the proposal were in
el feet, the electoral vote would
be divided among the parties in
proportion to votes, but it does
not abolish the college
Professor Shumate mentioned
that many other proposals have
been made which would abolish
the electoral college altogether.
These proposals would have less
chance of surviving than the
Lodge amendment, he said.
The political reasons are
