tution-Mr Tucker Says There Should

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April e.

House TO pass the Tucker resolution
for an amendment to the Constitution.
SO as to provide for the election Of sena-
tors by a direct vote OF the people. Mr..
Tucker to-day submitted the favorable
report from the committee. He incorpo-
rates the report submitted by him on a
similar resolution, which passed the
House during the Fffty-second Congress,
and adds further comment suggested by
events since that time. He reports that
this resolution is in the exact language
as the one passed at the last Congress
without a dissenting vote. The necessity
for such a resolution, ne says, has in
creased since that time.
THERE SHOULD BE CHANGE.
"The present Congress-" he says. has
greatly intensified the feeling that there
should be a change in the manner of
electing senators. which would make the
Senate more responsive to the demands
and voice Of the people
