In a lot of them, the elector! were chosen ev the mate legislature, in ome of the ataten, a grouo of the "runt people" Just got together and picked the eleetora.

Take the cam of Pennsylvania, for example. Pennsylvania has 10 delegates to the Republican con vention. Quite a lergi numbtr o. these delegates are auppoard to be held In the hollow of the hand of ihe governor of Pennsylvania. When ihe governor gWea the nod and bolda up linger, thla body of delegates la supposed to vote how ever the governor leys Experience tells me that under audi condlllona It Would be little lesa than astonishing II the gover nor of Pennsylvania didn t do quite a little dickering on his own account before he gave the final and decisive algnal. rv. luhnla nnrlu avalem lends it self to a whale of a lot of euch dickering. It gives too much power to the PROFESSIONALS. It seems to ine that any ayslem that put" that mucn power in mat hands Isn't too good, I'm hot starry-eyed about Ihe Idea of a nntlonnl Presidential pri mary, conduolcd simultaneously .In all the slates, I'm not even posi tive that such a system would get better men than the present sys tem gives us. I just find myself less and less enthusiastic about the party convention system ol making Presidential nominations. ) Anyway, I Imagine quite a lot of fceoplc are beginning to feel the same way and II so we're likely to try something else beforo too long.

' Frenchwoman Found Guilty CAP.SON CITY, Ncv. ( Tile French divorcee who pleaded that she made a bedroom bargain with Millionaire La Vcre Redfield ' to steal his (1,500,000 safe, faces five to 10 years in prison for directing that fantastic burglary. A federal court Jury Wednesday found Mrs. Jeanne d'Arc Mlchaud, 30. guilty of cariylng more than S147.000 of the loot across state lines. The Jury rejected Uie petite, dark-haired woman's contention j Uial she gnincd Redflcld's consent j to the theft In a -bedroom tryst at i the millionaire's gloomy Reno ' mnn-sion Dec. 28. A special suicide watch was pu' ; over the Canndian divorcee. She previously attempted suicide and j said on Ihe wilness stand: I "It is preferable to this shamo . of brlngUig out my private life as I La Vere Redfield's sweetheart." Redfield denied in court he con , sented to the theft, but was so hesitant and evasive that Federal i Judge Roger Foley's temper flared al the blue-Jenned financier. An amazing new touch to a case thai will go down In FBI files as one of the strangest in history csme Wednesday with this revela tion: Redfield still has 210,000 sil ver dollars cached In a secret basement room of his field stone residence. ' The 270,000 cartwheels, which weigh almost 10 tons, were dis covered by FBI agents, acting upon coded Instructions found tn a note taken from Mrs. Mlchaud upon her arrest. The note, with a will and other personal papers, was among the currency. Jewels and securities choked into the millionaire's small bedroom safe when It wns carted away Feb. 29. FBI men chiseled through 39 Incites of plaster, stone and con crete to find the secret room, which also contained a vast quan tity of postage slumps. Many of the silver dollars and stamps arc believed to be collec tors Items worth considerably more than fnce value. The prosecution made a strong argument Uint tr Redfield had con sented to the Uicft, he certainly would not have left the coded In structions and the directions to his hidden silver pile in the safe.
