ELEcTING SENATORS.

The Amador Republican considers
the San Jose 'Mercury's" method of in
dicating the desire of the people, in
election of United States Senators,
namely by uniform rule of party ac-
tion, the expression being made by the
conventions of the party organizations,
delegates being chosen, thereto with the
clear purpose of expressing the wishes
of the people as to candidates to be
voted for by the Legislature
The uniformity of party action is, ac-
cording to the Republican" the chief
or only original idea in the 'Mercurys"
suggestion, since for many years in GER
tain States the fight for the United
States Senatorship has really been
made before the people. The time and
manner of choosing Senators are mat
ters within the control of Congress,
says our contemporary, and it then
quotes the law made under the Con-
stitution investing Congress with that
power. There is nothing in the law to
prevent the selection of Senatorial can
didates by party nominations, but such
nominations would not. in the opinion
of the Republican" remove the possi-
bility of a deadlock
No one has ever claimed that it would
remove the possibility of such calam-
ity, but it would certainly render the
deadlock improbable. Except the sew
eral party faiths represented in the
Legislature were SO evenly divided
there would be small likelihood of dead
locking when the time for the election
arrived. But the Republican" sug-
gesits that Congress may effect reform
by amendment of the Act already in
existence regulating the method Of
eiecting. prescribing the time for yot-
ingi how the vote shall be taken and
what preponderance of votes shall be
necessary to a choice. lit is added that
the Act should be amended so as to
provide that if after a certain number
of daily ballots are taken there Is no
choice the candidates shall be dropped
The record-union., 1899-04-09


beginning with the lowest: ballot by
ballot. no further nominations being
permitted. When but three nominees
remain, then let the majority rule be
waived and a plurality of votes elect.
But this is not original. There was
precisely such an amendment to- the Act
offered at the late session of Congress,
and it was supported by a. strong argu-
ment, but it failed to receive sufficient
consideration to win a report from the
committee to which it was referred. The
proba bility of amendment of the law Is,
therefore, very remote. Besides, 1T IS
questionable whether the plurality rule
would answer. 1t might result IN cleo
ton of a candidate not having the IN
dorsement of the people, not backed by
convention expression, or upon whose
candidacy the people had at the party
polls been called upon to make EXPIRES
sion. On the whole we prefer the 'Mer-
cury's" plan. 1t is worth the trial, While
we await possible but doubtful action
by Congress
