Elect U. S. Senator by the People.

The house of representatives has
adopted resolution to submit con-
stitutional amendment to the several
states providing for the election OF
United States senators by the people,
and they adopted it by vote of more
than two to one. 1t remains to be seen
what the senate will do with it. They
ought to adopt it but we doubt il they
will.
The reasons that were in the minds
of the trainers of the constitution for
having the senators chosen by the leg
islatures do not exist now. The change
would do away with the greatest oppor-
tunity for corruption in American pol
tiles today. The change would give
to the people the chance to do more
directly what they now do indirectly.
The more of the indirect methods of
political management that can he swept
away the better. To say that the
American people can not properly
choose their highest officers is some
thing no sane man now cares to do.
We notice the Inter Ocean takes the
position against the change saying
preserve the constitution" 1t claims
the movement for this change is pop
ulistic one. This is untrue. A great
Chicago daily opposing movement is
pretty good evidence that the move
ment is proper one.
When it says the present plan has
given MS in the Senate ''the most dig
nified and conservative Legislative body
in the world we would reply that we
hardly think the Illinois republican
state convention would do worse in
that respect than what their Legislature
did, select Billy Mason.
A state convention of the leading
political party ofla state is high and
dignitied enough tribunal to which
to refer the question of who shall be
the United States senator from that
state.
This is not party question, but it is
u question that interests all who care
for the progress of good government
and who regard the opinion of the peo-
pleas the ruling power in the country.

About "Pinkey."
= (Hou. Chas Ashton in the Gu,hrian1

T. (Hon. Chas Ashton in the Guthrian)
After the consolidation of the Led
ger with the Locomotive in Novemb Der,
1888, it held the exclusive possession
Of the Stuart field until the fall of 1885,
when H. p. Albert who had been for
some years engaged in the newspaper
work at Extra and Audubon, moved
his plant to Extra and set up demo
cratic paper there. Albert was an err
ratio specimen, widely known among
newspaper men in western Iowa by
the pseudonym 'Pinkey." He posses
sed an unlimited quantity of cheek, a
very free running pen, and apt ability
10 run paper on the hifalutin style.
He had parsimonious ideas in regard
to the use of truth, but was crafty and
self seeking in his business plans. He
appears to have moved his plant to
Stuart not so much to run a paper to
advance democratic interests in Stuart
and Guthrie county as he moved there
to run the post office. The previous
year 1884 the people had elected Cleve-
land over Blaine to the presidency,
and so had opened the way for demo-
cratic editors to post Office appoint
ments. After his location at Stuart,
''Pinkey" soon made himself known as
an aspirant for post Office honors and
emoluments, There were others in
Stuart who had aspirations for the
place. worthy citizens, who had done
faithful service for the party in its
years of gloom, were worthy of the
honors and profits of that Office and
were not willing to give way for the
upstart Albert. Failing in his desires
to secure the post Office and his path
way not being profusely decked with
prospects of enriching financial sue
cess, he announced his issue of April
l6, 1856, the discontinuance Of the Sen
tinel. Sometime afterward the mater
ial was moved back to Audubon county
and one more of the great multitude of
unneeded newspapers in Guthrie coun-
passed into ''inocuous disuetude."
Ir. Albert, we believe, left the state
and Stuart was again left with
only one newspaper and Guthrie coun-
ty democracy was again left without
party organ.

rlacy Not q Candidate.

Last week Fl. w Byers published a
card in the Harlan papers and in the
Council Bluffs Nonpareil saying that
owing to the claims of his private bust
ness he would not he candidate for
congress. This was followed by a
statement said to have been made by
some one knowing, that the withdrawal
was made in the interest of Judge Macy,
of Harlan. Concerning this subject
the Nonpareil said Monday:
Definite announcement is made that
Judge n. w. Macy, OF Harlan, will not
be candidate for congress to contest
with Judge Smith of this city for the
republican nomination.
A Council Bluffs man who saw Judge
Macy on Saturday after the report that
he was to enter the race had been circu-
lated throughout the district, stated
last evening that Judge Macy at that
time said to him he was not only not a
candidate, bat that he was greatly an.
noyed and worried over the rumors
that had been sent ahoat concerning
him.
With the field as it now stands Judge
Smith is quite certain of Mills, Mont
gomery, Shelby, Harrison and Audu-
bon counties in addition to Pottawat-
TAME. Il. b. Swan, of Atlantic, will
possibly have the Cass county delega-
ton back of him, and Adair, with
possibly Guthrie, will be for Hager if
he continues in the race.
The assurance that Judge Macy is
not to be candidate for the nomina-
ton is in line with the expectations Of
his friends here, who had understood
that he would. not enter the contest
against Judge Smith.

est has made recommendations for APP
pointment for 1863 out of the l79 enum-
orators places to be filed in his terri
tory, says the Nonpareil. He will
make recommendations for the re-
naming ten places this week. In
structions have been issued by the di-
rector of the census that the names of
enumerators shall not be given out un-
til after the appointments have been
confirmed. Even then the names may
be withheld from publication on ac-
count of the annoyance that is expected
from firms that may wish to use the
enumerators as canvassers or distribu-
tors Of advertising matter. One firm
has sent out circular letters seeking to
induce supervisors to use their official
influence to have all enumerators use
. certain make of fountain pens.

c. T. Hancock for Deiegate-at-
a. Large.
.tpnpnqne I,Ilnes. AprIl Is.

s ~, 'tDnbnqne Times, April Is
With the apr roach of the republi-
can state convention at Des Moines
May 10, interest is arising on the selec-
ton Of the "big four" to represent
Iowa in the national convention at
Philadelphia June 18th. Speaker
Henderson recently refused to permit
the use of his name in this connection,
saying he preferred the honor should go
to some of his good friends at home
who had earned it by their labors for
the party in Iowa.
Among the republicans of Col. Hen
derson's section of the state this is ac-
ce pied as desire to make room for
such good friends of the speaker and Of
Iowa's senior senator, and such leaders
in the party Organization in Iowa, as
Mr.. Charles I. Hancock of this city,
Third district member of the state CEN
trail committee and formerly chairman
man of that body. THERE'S not to be
found in the whole state of Iowa more
effective party worker nor one who has
rendered the republican organization
better service in recent campaigns. To
him more than to any other man is due
the fact that Dubuque, the "Rock
Rooted Gibraltar of Iowa Democracy,
was taken by Major McKinley's forces
in that memorable campaign of 1896.
That this notable victory resulted from
his management of the campaign was
; conceded by friend and foe in the local
field. Having been chosen chairman
of the state committee at Dubuque in
1898, he brought to the direction Of
the state campaign which ensued the
same energy and indomitable perse-
verance for which he had been locally
famous. He organized and systema-
tized the work of the state committee
to degree of perfection it had never
before attained and the splendid major
ity rolled up for the republican ticket
il year of general apathy rewarded
his persistent and we'll directed efforts
Pressure of private business COM
PEELED Mr.. Hancock to retire from the
craftsmanship last year, but he remain
ed and continued to be one of the most
active members of the committee. His
election as delegate-at- large from Iowa
would be graceful and proper recog-
milton of his fruitful labors for the
party. His friends offer his name to
the convention in the belief that claims
will be recognized with substantial
unanimity by the working forces of the
organization. 1t has long been the
conventions custom to select the state
committees chairman for delegate-at
large il he desires the honor. As the
name OF. the present chairman, Mr..
Weaver, will not be presented to the
convention, Mr.. Hancock will have the
benefit of this worthy custom.

Mr.. Byers Not a Candidate.

We are authorized by Hon. II. W.
Byers of this city to say that, on ac-
count of business matters which will re.
quire his personal attention, he has
determined not to be candidate for
the republican congressional nomina-
tion.
He desires to acknowledge the kind
ness of the press of the state, district
and county, in so cordially urging him
for the place; also to thank the repub-
licans of Shelby county for their friend
ship and support in times past.
The many friends of Mr.. Byers will
accept his determination not to be.
cone candidate with reluctance, and
will heartily wish that circumstances
were such that he could be their repre-.
sentative in congress. Shelby County

The Coon Rapids Reporter is one
among several of our democratic ex-
changes that favor the nomination of
Dewey for vice president. They don't
see any Inconsistencies in this. 1t so
often happens that democratic editor
can't see an Inconsistency if he thinks
the thing promises advantage to his
party. Advantage to his party is his
first thought, consistency his last if he
thinks oft at all. So it comes that
such democratic editors do not now re-
call that Dewey has expressed himself
many times as favoring President
Mckinley on the main issues that will
likely come up in this campaign, fl
nance and expansion.
