able Report on Bill

washington. Jan. 22.-The commit.
tee on the election OF president and
vice president of the United States
yesterday made a favorable report on
the bill for the election of United
States senators by direct vote Of the

that of last year and presents the
advantage of popular election Of sena-
tors. In the senate committee on
privileges and elections there was an
informal discussion OF the same propo-
sition There are before the senate
committee petitions from six different
states calling on congress to convene
a national convention TO amend the
Federal constitution so as TO make this
change in the method OF choosing
senators. Thirty such petitions are
necessary TO insure such a conyen'
ton, and the discussion yesterday
turned upon the point as TO whether
all the thirty necessary petitions
should be addressed to one congress
OF whether a petition once made
stands for all time. No decision was
reached.
