WANTS TWO REFORMS.
A Letter From Congressman William E.
Mason, of Chicago.

A Letter From Congressman William E.
Mason, of Chicago.
Congressman William E. Mason, of the
Third (Chicago) Congressional district, is
an advocate of both the important Govern
mental reforms advocated above, and e1-
presses his views in the following terms:
81 am in favor Of electing Senators of the
United States by the direct vote of the peo-
pie instead of by the ballots of the members
OF the State Legislature. am in favor of that
plan for the reason that, in my opinion, it
would bring the governing power closer to
the people, an end that our American insti-
tutions are especially designed to promote,
and for the accomplishment of which every
true American citizen should labor unceas-
ingly with heart and voice. Our Govern
ment is intended to be of the people, by the
people and for the people, and every true
American must surely favor any reform
that would make the people still more di-
rectly potent governing factors.
II am in favor of the Australian ballot
system, so far as I understand it, There
are many different features of it, but l am
decidedly in favor of that feature which as
sures to the elector the exercise of his right
TO vote for his convictions in strict privacy,
for the reason that the untrammeled exer-
else of that right takes away largely the op-
portunity to force frighten or corruptly in
fuence the voter, crimes against the purity
OF the ballot which too often disgrace our
elections. Very respect ully yours,
"WILLIAM E. MASON"

A SYMPOSIUM UPON A LIVE SUBJECT
WRITTEN FOR rHE DISPATCH. ]


Fer the symposium printed below L am
indebted to gentleman who is at the head
of the most powerful and most secret organ
iEation ever established for political reform.
Though its very name is q mystery, though
Its members are known as such only to each
other, and though it is but few months
since 1t was first conceived, it has already
spread to every State in the Union, and is
destined to exert a strong influence upon the
political fortunes of every candidate for
Office, whether national or local. Its work
will be done with such secrecy that the can
dioate defeated through its agency will
never know what struck him. Its methods
OF organization and extension are very SIM
liar TO those of the religious order known as
the Kings Daughters" originated by
Mrs. Margaret Bottome.
The gentleman to whom 1 have alluded
recently addressed to q number of dis
tinguished men a letter of inquiry on the
ubject of governmental reforms-changes
that Uncle Sans sffectionate nephews
should make for that good old mans sake,
because they are essential to the preserva-
tion OF his health. Some were requested to
give their views on the subject of the
national adoption of the Australian system
Of voting; others were asked TO state whether
they were in favor of or opposed to the cleo
tion OF United States Senators directly by
the people, instead of by State Legislatures,
while still others were desired to state their
sentiments with regard TO both of those i'm
pOrtaut reforms. OF the many answers re-
Ceived 1 am kindly permitted to give to the
public those printed below.

nothing that can be better, or as we'll, done
by the free and untrammeled action Of the
individual citizen. To vest the greatest
control and power of interference in the
Government is the object of their laws,
while the intent OF ours is to confer upon the
people the largest liberty and the greatest
personal privilege consistent with the public
welfare. 1t should also be remembered that
universal suffrage does not exist in Aus
tralis and Great Britain, but the election
systems there are based upon restricted sur
frage.
THAT this difference of conditions is rec
ognized by the friends OF the Australian
system in this country is shown by the fact
that the system, in its entirety, has not been
adopted by any State in the Union. Several
States have enacted what is called the Aus
tralian system, but only after material and.
vital notifications. This adaptation by
various States of different features of the
system appears to have produced confused
impression in the public mind as to what
the system really is.
"No man realizes more thoroughly than l
the necessity for guarding the purity and
secrecy of our election system, but with re-
gard to the Australian system nv opinion is
that, while many OF its distinguishing teat
ures are admirable, others are objectiona-
bic. constitutionally and otherwise.
''No man or set of men possesses a copy
right upon ballot reform. What the people
want is not a system peculiarly suited to
foreign lands, but an American system,
adapted to our own free institutions-a svs-
TEN which encroaches upon no just privi-
leges and which offers a practical, not
theoretical, solution OF the evils that con-
front US. Whatever system is adopted
should be applied to all elections-genersl,
municipal and local. l favor compelling
every voter to enter a private compartment
to examine or prepare his ballot whence he
shall proceed directly to the ballot box un-
attended by anyone. Respectfully yours
DAVID B. HILL"

Hon. David B. Hill, Governor of New

cate of the Australian system, as will be-
seen below.
'Many are now urging the adoption OF
the Australian system of voting as a pana-
cea for all the pernicious practices which
surround our elections Now, it doesn't
follow that because the Australian system
seems to be well adapted TO the Govern
ments Of England and Australia it can be
appropriately applied to our institutions
without its material modification. Those
Governments are founded upon the theory
that the State should perform every serv-
ice it can per orm, while the true theory of

VIEWS OF A FINANCIER.
Henry Clews Scores the Senate and Wants
Ballot Reform.

Henry CleWs scores the senate and wants
Ballot Reform.
Henry Clews, the weIl-known banker and
broker OF New York, who, for more than a
quarter of a century has been prominently
identified with public events in this country,
writes as follows:
"WhIleI am not opposed to the Austria
liam system of voting am not an enthusiast
in its favor. Still think it is worth try
ing, as it will, in all probability, lead to
better methods than those by which our
elections have heretofore been governed.
''In reply TO your second query, whether
l am in favor or or opposed to the election
OF United States Senators by direct vote of
the people instead of by the State Legisla-
lures, ] would say that so long as the Senate
of the United States was regarded as the
more conservative body of the two houses
of Congress and wisdom and caution
guided the Senators, it was an Endorsement
OF the practice of having the Senators
chosen by the State Legislatures. During
the last few years, however, quite a change
has taken place in the character of the men,
bership of the Ssnate, and the majority have
apparently ceased to be guided by that
spirit of conservatism which formerly dis
tinguished them, hence 1 think the time has
about arrived when it would be probably
advantageous for Senators to be elected in
the same way as are the members of the
House-by popular vote. since it has been
found that when it comes to voting for the
national ticket, the great American people
always act intelligentiy and can be trusted,
Beyond the above changes know of
no governmental reforms 10 suggest, as
consider the American system of Govern.

Roger g. Mills Favors the Australian Ballot
for Pennsylvania.
Hon. Roger Q. Mills, who for the past Is
years has represented the Ninth Texas Dis
trict in the National House of Representa-
tives, and who is generally regarded as most
likely to be the next Speaker of the House,
expresses himself in no uncertain manner:
''In reply to your letter would say that 1
favor any system of voting that protects the
voter in voting for the candidate of his own
personal choice. 1 think that in States like
Pennsylvania, for example. where large
numbers OF persons are employed by cor
porations interested in having the ballots
cast in opposition to the interests of the
voter, the Australian system would be an
Improvement on existing methods.
You also ask if 1 favor the election of
United States Senators by direct vote Of
the people. reply emphatically that do.

pended letter:

of United States Senators directly by the
