Electing Senators,

The Charlottesville Progress Is not in
favor Of allowing Mr.. fuckers amend
ment TO the Federal Constitution pro-
viding for the election Of United States
senators by the people TO be whistled
down the wind by the opponents Of that
bill. The Progress says:
at is probable that Mr.. fuckers bill.
providing for the election of senator's by
the people will never get through the
Senate. The matter may be easily over
come. however. by the suggestion made
by the Dispatch. that the State legisla-
tAres make provision for the expression
Of the choice OF the people by districts,
md let those bodies ratify the choice
thus made. 1t may necessitate some new
election machinery. but II will certainly
accomplish the object"
Having been passed by the House OF
Representatives. the bill in question must
now be passed by the Senate. or else its
enemies will plausibly argue that the
measure is not a popular one. Failure
to pass II In the Senate would be ample
justification for the opponents OF that
measure 10 assume the right to do as
they please In the premises. and would
forthwith be used as showing that the
people were not pressing the amend
ment upon their congressman. Nay more,
and worse: The failure to pass Mr.
fuckers amendment would be treated by
It's opponents as demonstrating not only
that the people were indifferent upon the
subject but that they were willing TO
lend their countenance to the existing
Objectionable manner Of choosing United
States senator's. If the subject had never
been preached. there might be some rea-
con for preserving the status quo--the
present manner Of securing wealthy
United States senator's. But under the
circumstances now existing no senator
can justify himself In the opinion Of
mis- constituents for his failure to do
all that he can to have Mr.. fuckers bill
passed by the Senate.
Commenting upon a paragraph which
appeared In the Dispatch the other day,
the Norfolk Landmark declares that the
manner Of electing United States senators
- IN no sense faulty. but some OF the
msmpen Of the State legislatures are
where they ought not TO ne. We quote:
