persons appointed by the governors Of
Montana, Washington aud Wyoming
Mitchell said:
1t would unreasonably augment and
extend the prerogatives OF state

and subordinate and constitutional
functions Of the legislature TO those OF
the executive.
1t would place n premium on treason

pllue.
1t would encourage factions and
minorities IN legislatures In hlibuster-
ing efforts to defeat the election OF
senators and 1t would tend to prevent u
fair expression OF the will Of the ma.
jority Of the legislature.

viction that majority OF the Senate
would vote for the admission OF the
three senators, but that such vote
would overturn the deliberate pre-.
cedent established by the Senate after
full consideration over sixty.eight
years ago. Ii would establish pre-
cedent that would result inside OF ten
years In having one.third OF the senat.

gresham anu the reply OF the Presi-
dent. To make the matter little
clearer the congressman learned that
while the agreement OF delegation
upon local officers may have weight
the President will not be- hound by 1t.
The Alabama delegation has decided
to abandon Its slate and this lead will
DO followed by other delegations with
tho result probably that the contest
for office win become o free-for-all race,
and each candidate will run on his
merits.
