United
States
Election
...
America
Is
olllntr
up
the
most
complicated
election
machinery
in
the
world
in
preparation
for
the
balloting
in
next
November's
presidential
and
congressional
contests.
The
method
of
choosing
presidential
candidates,
and
the
voting
system
of
the
United
States,
dating
back
with
few
changes
to
1787,
baffles
outsiders
and
remains
a
puzzle
to
many
who
use
it
every
two
or
four
years.
This
is
an
attempt
to
describe
it
in
capsule
form.
The
435
members
of
the
House
of
Representatives
are
elected
for
two-year
terms.
The
96
senators
are
elected
for
six-year
terms
so
arranged
that
one-third
of
the
total
is
elected
every
two
years.
The
president
and
vice-president
are
elected
for
i
mi.

J.UUI

lenns.

must
be
two
United
States
senators
from
each
state,
elected
by
the
whole
state,
and
one
or
more
representatives
as
the
population
decrees,
most
of
them
for
electoral
districts
but
some
at-large
where
circumstances
dictate.
The
constitution
also
provides
that
elections
be
held
on
the
first
Tuesday
after
the
first
Monday
in
November
of
tho
election
venr.
Thus,
op
November
7
next,
the
United
States
will,
elect
a
president,
a
vice-president.
435
representa
tives
and
32
senators.
That
is
the
federal
picture.
But
the
ballots
will
also
have
on
them
candidates
for
numerous
state,
cojinty
and
municipal
offices
ranging
from
state
governors
down
to
minor
local
posts,
according
to
the
needs
and
customs
of
each
state.
The
ballots
are
hu'ge
affairs
but
voting
machines
in
urban
centres
reduce
the
work
of
the
voters.
The
presidential
contest
is
the
main
attraction
of
this
48-ring
circus
but
no
names
of
presidential
candidates
appear
on
the
ballots.
Fnch
party
nominating
a
presidential
candidate
must
al?o
name
"Electors''
who
are
mpmhers
nf
the
"olectoral
college."
There
is
one
elector
for
.each
con-PTessional
representative
in
each
state

Whichever
party's
"electors"
get
the
majority
of
the
votes
in
any
state,
those
electors
certify
to
the
state
secretary
that
their
party's
candidate
is
the,
choice
for
president.
This
is
largely
an
age-old
formality
but
it
leaves
the
possibility
of
a
candidate
winning
because
he
wins
the
states
with
the
most
electoral
votes
although
trailing
another
candidate
in
the
total
vote
cast
throughout
the
nation.
!
But
before
the
voting
there
is
the
long,
tedious
business
of
selecting
presidential
candidates.
;
There
are
only
two
parties
likely
to
be
in
the
picture
tjiis
year,
Republicans
and
Democrats,
Their
candidates
for
president
will
be
selected
at
national
conventions,
the
former
opening
June
19
and
the
latter
July
26,
both
in
Chicago.
Republicans
will
trust
this
'selection
to
1,059
accredited
delegates,
the
Democrats
1,176.
Selection
of
the
delegates
is
customarily
by
three
methods;
depending
upon
the
state
laws,
and
party
regulations
primary
elections,
state
conventions
and
state
committees.
In
the
primaries
held
by
a
number
of
statea.ihe
delegates
are
voted
upon
after
expressing
their
choice
of
candidate
and
the
results
indicate
how
that
state
delegation
will
vote
at
the
convention.
State
conventions
and
state
commitees
may
choose
delegates
who
are
pledged
to
support
a
certain
candidate,
or
a
series
of
choices
in
a
certain
order,
or
may
be
left
free
to
decide
their
stand
at
the
convention.
At
the
convention
there
is
a
free-for-all
melen
in;
which
delegations
who
are
free
to
do
so
swing
jrom
one
candidate
to
another
as
they
see
no
possibility
of
their
first
choice
winning,
or
who
are
lured
by-
eloquence
to
shift
their
support.
Thl
vice-presidential
candidate
is
nominally
the
choice
of
the
party
but
in
practice
the
party's
presidential
candidate
has
the
sav
as
to
who
will
he
his
running
mate.
He
is
elected
by
the
same
vote
that
ejects
tne
president,
On
Dec.
18
after
the
elections
the
"electors"
meet,
supposedly,
those
who
got
the
most
votes,
and
"elect"
the
president,
certifying
the
election
to
the
secretary
of
;state
who
transmits
the
result
to
Congress.
At
a
joint
sitting
of
both
houses,
presided
over
by:
tho
president
of
the
Senate,
on
the
following
Jan.
6,
two
tellers
each
from
the
two
houses

the
reports
from
the
state
secretaries
and
formally

nounce

of

and

the

is
formally
inaugurated
on
Capitol
Hill,
sworn
in
by
the
chief
justice,
and
takes
up

in

House.
Ine
