WITHOUT / sen ATORS.
Several States Have But One Rep
resentative in the Upper House.
Should the Constitution Be Amended
So That Senator's Could BE Chosen
s by the Direct Vote OF
the PeOple3
Especial Washington letter.

One of the growing questions before
our people is whether members of the
United States senate shall continue to
be elected by state Legislatures or by d.
rect vote Of the people. III
There are now As states in the federal
union, and each state is entitled to two
senators. Consequently, if every state
legislature performed its constitution
81 duty, there would be 80 members
OF the national senate. When the con-
stitution was. adopted there were 10
states, each entitled to two senator's;
and the total membership of the ma
tional senate was 26.
Thirty-two states have been added to
the federal union since the foundation
OF the government. BY purchase, by
cesslon and by conquest the original
republic has expanded from the At
lantic to the Pacific oceans, and from
the great lakes to the gulf.
But, while the republic has been
expanding, and while it's power has
been increasing, men gifted with tai
ents for acquisition have acquired
wealth in great measure. Their sons
have added to the boards by modern
methods of speculation. They ignore
that Scripture which says that it is
harder for rich man to enter the
Kingdom of Heaven than for camel
to pass through the gate called the
needles eye. They have laid up treas
ure on earth, seeming to care little or
nothing for laying up treasure in
Heaven. @
1t is because of this accumulation of
riches that many of our people be-
ieve that legislatures are corruptible,
and that rich men buy their way into
the national senate. No higher honor
can be attained by any man in this re-
public than that he shall be elected
to the national senate; excepting, Of
course, the presidency. Rich men covet
the distinction and the social honor.
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1899-05-18
There is also the danger that the peo-

There is also the danger that the peo-
pie might become accustomed to look
for wholesale bribery, and enough OF
them become corruptible to sell their
votes, and affect the elections.
There you have an epitome of both
sides Of the argument. The reason for
calling attention to this condition pros,
pectiyely affecting our body polite lies
in the fact that during the past decade
various state legislatures have failed to
perform their constitutional functions,
and have adjourned without electing
senator's, thereby depriving sovereign
states of their right to complete repre-
sentation on the floor of the rational
senate.
One striking example of this condi-
ton may be referred to without preju-
dice. In 1894 Senator Mitchell, Of Ore
gon, discussing the right of the gov
ernor of Montana to appoint Lee Mantle
as a senator, after the legislature of
Montana failed to elect senator, said:
Suppose rich man should arise in
Oregon, two years hence, and prevent
my reelection to the senate. Suppose
e1"c AtSA A1esA SAOuAO VIC LII CoIlQS1On
with the governor of Oregon. And, aft
er preventing the legislature from
electing me, that rich man should be ar-
pointed to the senate by the governor of
Oregon, would it be right to give him a
seat in this body? I say not; and will
vote against the admission Of a senator
from Montana appointed under such
circumstances"
Strange as it may seem, two years
after Senator Mitchell had delivered
that speech the Oregon legislature was
induced to adjourn without electing a
senator to succeed Senator Mitchell.
Very soon thereafter the governor of
Oregon appointed one Corbett, a very
rich man, to the senate. The case
was considered carefully and. by vote
of two to one, the senate refused to give
Corbett seat. Thus precedent was
established. When a legislature fails
to elect the governor of state cannot
appoint senator.
The Corbett case is the last one on
record. The first precedent was formed
in 1898, at session of the senate for
the third congress. Senator Read, OF
Delaware, resigned in December, 1892,
when the state legislature was in ses-
sion. His successor was not elected
and the governor of Delaware, in
March, 1898, appointed Kensey Johns.
After full discussion the senate re.
fused to. permit Mr.. Johns to be seated

1t Is not secret that, not many years
ago, man expended upwards of a
quarter of million dollars to secure
his election to the senate.
The salary of senator is only 5000
year, and the term lasts but six years.
Consequently when a man is elected
to the senate his total salary for six
years amounts to 100000. And yet a
man expended quarter of a million
dollars to secure an election to the
senate. Why did he do it?
He expended that large amount of
money simply to have the honor of be-
ing a senator; just as he expended $780,
900 for painting TO adorn his parlor;
just as he expended $75o,oOo for house
in a certain city.
Now when the expenditure of a quar-
ter of a million dollars will enable a
rich man to have himself elected to the
senate many of our good people think
that halt should be called. If man
in one, state can control a legislature
with money, man in every state might
do the same; and hence no man could
aspire to become great law-giver
without first becoming rich man.
Moreover, all legislatures might be-
come corrupt.
That is, in brief, the argument made
by the people who favor the election
of senators by direct votes of the peo-
pie. 1t is for the purpose of enabling
poor men to aspire, as they did in the
days of Jackson, Polk, Clay, Webster,
Lincoln and Garfield; it is for the
purpose of putting the poor men on
a level with the rich men in aspiring
to national honors and distinction that
they advocate the proposed change.
But there is another side to the ques-
ton. If wealth continues to accumu-
late, and rich men continue to aspire,
they will have the advantage anyway,
because they can have bigger meetings,
better brass bands, bigger professions,
more expensive and extensive barbe-
cues and other entertainments; so that,
even by direct vote of the people, the.
election of senator's might be corruptly
secured. That is to say, the rich man
who would expend quarter of mil
lion dollars to corrupt state legisla-
ture would spend half a million to infu-.
enee the votes of the people in the vari-
Gus polling places. The millionaire Of
the present can as well afford to spend
half a million for the honor as he can
afford to spend quarter Of 9 million.

by a vote of 20 to Z. The constitution
was construed to mean that governors
of states may appoint senators to sue.
coed those who die or resign, provid.
ed the state legislatures do not have
opportunity to elect successors. But
when legislature fails to perform its
constitutional function, after having
had opportunity to do so, the governor
cannot appoint a senator. This ques.
ton will again come up, however, in,
the cases of Senator Quay, just ap.
pointed by the governor of Pennsyl..
vania, and Col. Daniel M. Burns, APP
pointed by the governor of California
Delaware four years ago failed to,
elect successor to Anthony Higgins,
and no appointment was made. Della
wares legislature recently adjourned
without electing a successor to George
Gray. Thus for third time in it's
history Delaware has failed to- elect a
senator, and that state for third time
has but one representative in the sen.
ate. when she is entitled to two.
In recent years nine state legislatures
California and Pennsylvania being the
last) have adjourned without electing
senators. In some Of these cases it is
known that money has been literally
and lavishly used to bring about the
deplorable result. Ambition, avarice,
lust of power, pride of station, greed of
gain and desire for personal prefer
ment have stood between the people
and their constitutional rights.
These modern conditions have caused
many honest statesmen to advocate the
election of senators by direct vote of
the people,. instead of by the legisla-
lures of the state. In order to bring
about this change it would be neccs-
sary to adopt an amendment to the ma
tional constitution. Conservative men
doubt whether an amendment Of this
nature would meet with the approval
of tWo-thirds of the states.
5 Several of the states in their party
conventions have Endorsed certain in
dividuals for the senate, campaigns
have been made upon platforms con
tanning the names of favorite sons, and
legislatures have felt in duty bound to
elect those who have thus been prac-
tically chosen by direct vote of the
people. The pursuance of this policy
may bring about the result which so
many desire, without amending the
national constitution.
