It Is claimed that the electors are pledged

So Mr ns mere uutnerletil inajoritj
room, thin la tlio moat decisive vote In
the history of the electoral college
Tills Is piirtlnlly duo to the fnet, how
ever, thnt the college la now uiticli
lnrnor Hum ever before, Washington
received the unanimous vote of tlu
ck-ctoi'H, ami Monroe till but ono
Aiiioiik other decisive results In thf
past may be mentioned the following
In 1HII2 Andrew Jackson received 211
electoral voles to -10 for Henry Clay
II for John 1'lo.vd mid 7 for William
Wirt. In 1S-M William Henry Har
rison hail 2;i4 (o (SO for Marlln Vim
Huron. In 1S."2 Franklin l'lerce hud
I'.YI to '12 for (iciiernl Wlnlleld Scott.
In 1NIU Abraliuin I.lucoln received 21S
to 21 fur (lenenil George B. McClelliin.
(Jrimt received tremendous electoral
majorities both times, 214 to SO fot
Horatio Seymour In 1M(W and 28(1 to Oil
for several candidates following the
death of Horace Greeley in 1S72. In
11X14 Theodore ltoosevelt received 3.'!(1
to 140 for Alton 11. I'arker.
Yet, notwithstanding Ills phenomenal
finjorlty In electors mid Ills great pop
ular plurality over either Taft oi
ltoosevelt, It Is one of the anomn.les
of tlio situation that President Elect
Wilson received nn actual minority of
the vote and possibly fell short of the
ltryun vote lu 11)08. The following ta
ble shows the complete rote In few

It will le wH-ka la-fore the official

and until tlmt time comes It will tie
luiHissllile to give the popular vote lu
full. All tlico totals will lie a.uue
whnt Increased, but will n-taln approx
liniitely the aiiiiin relative isislt lona.
Comparing this vote with that of
Han, which waa Taft. 7,U?M,lkiX; llry
an. Il.40li.lii4, It la wen that Wilson la
alsmt 1-HI.04MI abort of llryan'a vote
and that the combined Taft and
Itisiscvclt vote la more than 2,(100 abort
of Tu ft 'a vote four years ago. Aa al
ready stated, however, complete and
olllciiil returns may change these re
sults. Wllson'a plurality over ltoosevelt I
alsive '(KKVmk) and over Taft la nearly
2,700,000. KooHCvelt received more
than 500,000 over Taft. Wllaoti In
l,4ii.iio iM-tilnd the comhlned vote ol
ltoosevelt lid Taft
Other Minority Presidents.
He la not by any means the first
president wbo has been elected by
minority vote. In 102 Crorer Cleve
land received a large majority of the
electoral vote, but Ills Mtjiulnr vote was
n..V),!U8 to S.17H.KW for Harrison
1,041,028 for Weaver (Populist), 204,
i:i3 for Hid A ell (ProhlhlUou) and 21,
104 for Wing (Socialist Ijilnir). In
other words, the (-oiublned vote of otn
er randldiitea waa (1,502.4:13, nearly
l.ono.OOO more than Cleveland.
Four years earlier Mr. Harrison won
although he had fewer votea than Mr
Cleveland. The figures were: Harri
aon, 5.440.21(1; Cleveland, 5,538.233,
other randldiitea, 402.411. Thus liar
rlson waa nearly 100,000 behlud Cleve
land and 600,000 abort of the combined
opiHisltlon.
In the close and exciting Cleveland
Illnlne contest of 1SK4 the Democratt
cniultdate waa ahead of Mr. Klalne
but slightly iH'blnd the total vote of
opixmlng ciimlliliites. The result was
Cleveland, 4.011.017; lllalne, 4,848,334
St John (Problbltlon), lr.l.SOt); Butlet
((irwnback). 133.825. Thus, while
Cleveland led ltlalne by 02.083, he wai
U'lilml the combliuHl opposition by
222.IK11.
In fact, tnliiorlty president have
liecii the rule. Giirnekrwas one. He
was a slight 7.000 ahead of Hancock,
hut more than 300,000 behind all op
ponents. The figures were: Onrflold
4.4IH,n:i3: Hancock, 4.442,15; Wenvel
(Gmuilmckl, :t07.:!0(); How (Pro.), 10,
ltd; l'helps (Amer.), "0".
Hayes Far Behind. ,
Hayes was still more In the minority,
being 2.O0.0O0 liehlnd Tllden and nearly
3l.i,(kH) behind all candidates. The r
ault was: Hayes, 4,033,000; Tllden.
4.2S4,8.sri; Cooiht (CiOHMib.), 81,740.
Sniitli (Pro.), 0,022, and Wulker (Amer.).
2,IV1(I,
Grunt waa ahead of all other candl
dates In both tils races, ns was I.ln
coin In his second race, but In 1800 the
great eninnclpntor was elected by a
minority. The figures were: Lincoln,
l,H(lll,3r.2; Doughis, 1,375,157! Hreckcn
ridge, 84.1,703; Hell, MI,5S1. Thus the
combined opposition was 2,810,r)l.
which was nearly 1,000,000 ahead ol
Mr. Lincoln's vote. That was the near
est parallel to the present election, as
the Democratic party was split theu us
the ltepiibllcun party Is split now.
.Tames llucliiuian was a minority
president. Ilia vote was 1,838,109 tc
1.341,204 for Fremont and 874,538 foi
Millard Fillmore (Amer.), thus leaving
Itucliiiiimi nearly 400,000 behind the
comhlned opposition.
Franklin Pierce had a majority ovet
nil, but four years earlier Zaebary Tay
lor was elected by n minority vote. He
received 1,300,101 to 1,220,544 for Lewis
Cuss and 201.203 for Martin Van Hun
en (Free Soil), thus being l."0,000 be
hind the total vote of his opponents.
The saino was true of James K. Tolk
in 18-14. Ho received 1,337.243 to
ls2!U,008 for Henry Clay and 02,300 fot
James G. Rirnoy, leaving Polk nearly
25,000 behind the two,
The elder Harrison had n clear ma
jority In 1840, as did Vim Buren In
183U and Jackson lu both of bis con
tests, but In 1824 John Qulncy Adams
was elected by a minority, the vote be
ing: Adams, 105,321; Jackson, 155,872;
Clay, 40,587, and Crawford, 44,282.
Adams was 50,000 behind Jackson and
more than 140,000 behind all. Yet he
was chosen by the electoral college.
This carries us back to the beginning
of the convention and party system.
Since that system began a majority of
our presidents have been elected by a
J uiluority of the popular vote.
