Worse Than the Disease.

How the senate committee which re-
ported adversely on the bill to elect
United States senators by popular vote
could have brought itself to favor the
bill of Senator Hoar providing that
plurality OF the members of a legisla-
ture instead Of majority should elect
Il Is difficult to imagine. For this Is in
fnftely worse than the old method or
II contains an invitation to the increase
of the very evils compla lned Of, and
would create contests and split parties
in every state in the Union. We ven
ture to say that, II such a change were
authorized. majority Of the senators
would, within a dozen years. hold title
by the votes Of minorities In their sew
eral constituencies.
One objection to the present system IS
that 1t is not directly representative. A
senator may not be the actual choice
of the people of his state. Would not
that be aggravated IL he could be elected
by the votes of one-third or one-fifth
or one-tenth Of the members Of the leg
islature. according to the number Of
candidates in the field? Another objec-
ton Is the increasing tendency to dead
locks. They reflect injury upon the
state, but IL Is the business Of the peo-
pie OF the state to put an end to them.
Still another Is the ease Of obtaining
an election by corrupt means. But how
the boodler would glory In a change
that made 1t necessary to buy only one
faction out of several; only plurality
instead of majority; and above all In
the ability TO mask his forces under 9th
err banners. and have himself cleo"
