SENATORS BY POPULAR ELECTION


The arguments presented in the raport
Of the senate committee on elections in
favor Of the adoption OF constitutional
amendment making senators elective by
a popular vote are not easily TO b. con-
sroverted. It Is not intended by this
amendment to violate the constitutional
compromise by which the smallest state
Is given equal voting power in the sem
ate with the largest The number OF
senators to which each state is entitled
will not be affected by the proposed
amendment. but only the method by
which they are TO be chosen.
The report oondenses the affirmative
arguments in favor OF the change into
four principal ones; that the people win
express their preferences by a direct in
stead OF an Indirect method; that it will
destroy the power Of wealth to purchase
senatorial seats; that it will prevent
deadlocks like those which have within
q year occurred in Delaware and Ken
lucky. and that Il will leave the people
u CtNNA ANSlSAdNlAE ANNA AIcA1-e-%fN +A+
stead OF partisan issues, as at present..
In brief. the change is advocated because
senator's elected in this way will repre-
sent popular sentiment and be less liable
to secure their seats by direct purchase
and because elections viii elect and legis-
latures will be allowed TO attend 10 their
legislative business Of law-making solely.
The public will be disposed to admit
the force OF all that is said in favor of
the popular plan OF eleotng senators. and
II given chance TO vote upon it there
would be very little question Of its adop-
ton. The public have baen out Of SYM
pathy with the senate for a long time.
and chiefly because the voters have re-
garded it as a legislative body that did
not recognize any responsibility to the
people They are out Of sympathy with
the senate because, rightly or wrong
fully. they believe senators to be out
Of sympathy with them, and they attri-
butte this lack of touch with the masses
to the method by which senators are
chosen.
Eloquent and unaswerabls as the COM
mittee's report in favor Of the direct cleo
ton of senators may be, We doubt its
adoption at present. The trouble will
not be with the people, but with the
senate itself A proposed constitutional
amendement must b. adopted by two
thirds vote of the members OF both
houses before it can be submitted 10 tn
legislatures Of the several states Tor
ratification There will be too many sem
ators who will regard the adoption Of
this amendment as equivalent to legis-
lating themselves out OF office to render
its adoption at all probable by the pres
ent congress, al least.
The agitation in favor Of the change is
eommendable, however. for when public
santmgl e aroused to the right pitch
there Is way OF securing a constitu-
tional amendment of this kind in spite
Of the indifference or even hostility OF
either branch OF congress.
