THERE was a notable gathering

participated in a dinner gwen By

Hill. although a Democrat, says
some good things some times. He
is a believer 10 the election of Uni.
ted States Senators by the people.
There are a good many others " no
are not Democrats. who believe the
time has arrived when men elected
TO the Legislature to exercise that
prerogatlve and are supposed to
represent the people who voted for
them. don't even represent them.
selves or their honest sentiments.
The election of two United States
Senators in Delaware which had
been entrusted 10 the Legislature
Tor the second time, resulted in two
vacancies. It's time the people
voted tor the men whom they want
and to effect this, an anne dment to
the constitution would have to be
enacted. The sooner it is done,
the better the people will like It.
Times have changed since the
first United States Senate from
Delaware was sent to Washington
to represent the pc ple OF this State,
and the people have changed their
ideas about how these Senators
should be elected. The State Is
entitled 10 two u. S. Senators and
if the people elected them would be
no vacancies at the present time.
Suppose because some certain
influential men could not control
the courts that they should set
about and do away with the Judges.
DO you think the people would long
stand such intolerate interference
Of their rights! Why then should
they stand idly by and allow two
vacancies to exist in the U. S. Seu-
