Mr. Hoar's Reasons for Opposing
the Popular Election Of
Federal Senator's
Would Essentially Change tho
Character OF the Body as
Originally Conceived.
Would Contradict History by ImDIyinr
the Failure of the Senate, Discred.
itinE State Legislatures.

WAsHINaToN, April 3.--It appears from q
resolution introduced In the senate to-day
as If the debate on the subject of tho cleo
ton of senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie would be removed at this extra session,
Hoar introduced n resolution antaQonistic
TO that proposition. and gave notice that M
soon as convenient after Tomorrow he
would addross the senate on the subject.
Tho resolution egserta that 1t ia inexpe-
dient that the resolution gent to the SENATE
by ths house OF lagt congress be adopted, for
such methods Of election would essentially
change the character of tho senate ~ con-
ceived by tho convention that formed tho
constitution and the people who adopted IL.
IL would, the resolution continues, trans
for the seieotion of senators from n legis-
latnre. entrusted with all the legislative
powers OF states. to bodies having no
other responsibility. whose election cannot
be regulated by law. whose members voto by
proxy, whose tenure Of Office is for sin
gle day. whose votes and proceedings are
not recorded, and who act under personal
responsibility. II requires the substitution
of pluralities for ma aiorities, transfers the
seat of political power in territories to
kicdG CItlSb anu uNb6eb OK pOpul6blOQ, CSo-
ates new temptations to fraud, will give
rise to numerous election contests. will
absolve the larger states from tho constitu-
tional obligation which secures equal rep
resentation OF all states in the senate by
providing that NO state shall be deprived Of
that equality without iss consent.
In conclusion, tho resolution says such
method mplies what the whole current of
our history shows TO be untrue-that the
senate has, during the past century, failed
to meet the just expectations of the people,
and that state Legislatures have proved
themselves unit to be the depositorios of
the power Of electing senators. The rea-
sons which require this change. il acted
upon and carried to a logical result. will
lead to election by direct popular vote and
by popular majoritiss of the president and
judiciary, and compel the placing OF these
elections under complets national control.
II will result in the overthrow of the whole
scheme Of the senate and in the end. Of
the whole scheme of the national constitu-
tion as designed and established by its
trainers and the people who adopted IL.

In the senate Hoar presented petitions

against government acquisition of the Cen

grounds about 700 are hired By the EXPOSE
tion company and the remainder by con-
tractors. A strike. il 1t occurs. will involve
the 700 men employed by the exposition
and those employed by such contractors as
have not signed the union scale, about
l.OO0 in all. The Worlds fair people says
the strike will have but little effect az far
us they are concerned, that their work is so
far advanced that anybody who can drive q

The members of the Carpenters and
Builders association held meeting this
evening to discuss the question and decide
whether they would suspend their contract
with the men and allow them to strike. II
was finally decided not to allow any men
