The proposition to elect United States
senators by . direct vote Of the people
Is one that meets with favor in many
quarters, but the plan of J. Logan Chip
man, if such is bis plan, to elect SEN
ators by representative districts Is one
that will be condemned by the voters of
every political persuasion. Tho Wash
ipgton correspondent of The HERALD,
yesterday, gave An outline of the re-
port of such plan which Mr.. Chapman
IS credited with trying 70 evolve. With
democratic gerrymandering tactics in
mind. il 10 easy TO imagine J. Logan's
zigzss line meandering across the state
in snch . manner that Michigan would
be divided with seven representative
districts on one side and i've districts
on the other side. Upon each section
of the state upon either SIDE Of this
line, would devolvs the duty of elect
ing United States senator. 1t might
then be possible for the dems to carry
IN one section four districts aud in the
other three and thus elect both SEN
ators. This would be the perfection
OF the gerrymander according to
the ideas of the great Performers.
It would be 80 much better than TO
elect by . direct vote Of the people; it
would be % much more simple and the
results-Oh, there's the rub--the re-
suits would be 80 much more agreeable
70 the promoter OF the bill. Judging
the future by the past, BY direct vote
Of the people. Michigan wouid elect
republican senator's; the state has
always been republican on national
issues. n the old plan is let alone and
the state continues to elect senators
through its legislature. the republicans
wsuld have an even chance. But with
tne recent gerrymasdsf Of tns state
accomplished By the legislature last
winter. and the eIeesson Of TIE senators
By representative dissrscts aad eounsIss
the dissrics CARED rather than the
number OF votes east for esnd dates, Mr.
Csipman and bic friends zee senatorial
chairs yawninx 10 be filed with
democratic IL remains 10 be seen
~nssher the voters Of MIehlgsn will
tolerate such . scheme.
