Gomme-Duncan- asked Henderson to remember "that the Ghurlm race owes its allegiancg and friend- ship to the British crown and not to the Indian government. and that the negotiations should take place between those two authorities and not the India-n gwvcrnnient."

"I think it would be l-etter to make no comment at the moment." s-aid Henderson.

The Ghurkas are dominant in a state of 5.600.000 people. Military service is the chief occupation of the Nepalese. their fighting tra- dition having been handed down from the days when they were. driven out of the south by the Moslema and tock refuge in the hills from which none could die- lodge them.

Gossett called the Electoral lege “this archaic, dangerous undemccrzitical institution."

Today it works like this: Iin ad- vance of the presidential elections each state political organization‘ ncminates a slate of candidates for "electors" - one for each mzvn-J bcr the state is entitled to send to Ccrgress.

In the elections. really vote for their "electors." In nine states only the Eeiwffil $011981‘ candidates‘ names: are on the ballots. listed under, party labels. In 2i states tne clec-l tor candidates do not appear butt the names of the presidential can» clidates’ names are printed on the ballots. '

But the result. is the same. Thef mark on the ballot indicates that party preference. Hy univriticni law. or custom. since 1800, the "eloc. l tors" almost without cxceptioini, approve the choice of lite people.

At present 53.‘. “elector? are‘ elected in loch presidential con- tcst — one for very seunior representative in Congress.
