SENATOR'S BY POPULAR VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMAN PALMER WILL MOVE FOR
ADOPTION OF JOINT RESOLUTION
NOW PENDING.

Albany, Feb. (SpeciaD.-Assemblyman George
NJ Palmer, the leader OF the Democratic minority
in the lower house, will introduce night
a resolution asking Congress to adopt the concur
rent resolution now pending in that body for the
election OF United States Senators by direct vote
of the people.
Speaking OF the resolution, Mr. Palmer said
to-day:
The growth of popular sentiment in favor Of this
reform has exceeded any great movement of the
recent past; The great Empire State, through its
representatives in the legislature. should voice the
undoubted popular sentiment by adopting resou-
tion urging Congress TO pass the concurrent
luton now pending in that body. The present sys-
TEN of electing Senators, whatever its original
merits. has been perverted until 1t does not
necessarily, or event usually, reflect the popular
will.
Objections have been raised 10 the calling of a
constitutional convention 10 make this change in
the fundamental law OF the nation, and that rem
edy should be invoked only as last resort, after
Il has been clearly demonstrated that the United
States Senate will not yield to the popular will by
the adoption of the pending concurrent resolution.
The Senate of the United States is one branch OF
the making body of our land II acts for the
people. and the members OF that body the end OF
their several terms should come back TO the peo-
pie for an Endorsement OF their course or. if their
acts have been such to merit II, a condemna-

be given why this should not be the
