The proposal to have pluralities in
the State Legislatures elect Senators
would clearly aecentuate the evils OF
the present situation. Now, an espe-
Icial1 Objectionable party candidate
may be kept ont of the Senate by a
display of independence on the part of
few members of the Legislature. Mr.
Addicks of Delaware is thus excluded
from the Senate, although he has re-
peatedly bid IL to what most persons
would regard as a reasonable figure for
an election by the Legislature OF Della
ware If the plurality system prevail
| ed, he would to-day be representing
the State in the Senate. Instead, two
vacancies stand out as tribute to the
rugged independence of Gen lanes II.
Wilson-who has just been appointed
to attend the coronation-and a group
of Republicans, who, under his leader
ship, have placed the honor and dig
nifty of the State above party consider
ations. 1t would be a great mistake
to put men of Gen. Wilson's stamp al
lhe mercy of mere pluralities in the
Legislature.
i Meanwhile the press of the country
and particularly the Republican press
is -congratulating New England as the
one section which has no reason tt
complain of the present method o
electing Senators. Elections in thos'
States have continued in the spirit 0
: the founders of the Republic. In fact
in Vermont the spirit has been mucl
better maintained in regard to Senator
, ships than in regard TO the Governor
ship-a question of popular choice il
: which rich New Workers seem to b.
the chief factors. But Vermont is al
exceptional State in the fact that Re
: publican nomination is equivalent to al
election. md thus affords hardly fai
: : test OF the relative merits of the tw
= plans.
