RECEIVED ITS DEATH BLOW.

The scuato has delivered the death
blow to the proposition to elect United
States senators by direct vote The
senate committee on privileges and
elections has adopted, by a party vote
the amendments offered b. Senator
Depcw te the house resolution pro
posing an amendment to the constitu-
tion as follows
The qualifications of citizens en-
and representatives III congress shall
be uniform in ali the states, and con
greSS shalt have power to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation. and
to provide for the registration OF citi-
Zens entitled to vote, to conduct such
elections and the certihcation of the
result
The proposition would disQualify
from participation III the elections citi.
Zens Of those states, especially in the
south. where property or educational
qualifi cations are required of the citi
zens before they are permitted to cast
their votes.
1t will. of course. meet the deter.
mined opposition of all of the repre-
sentativeS of the states which have
such provisions in their constitution
and means the defeat of the house res
olutiOn.
Action upon the main question was
postponed until next week. 1t IS
thought to be possible that the Repub-
licans on the committee will decide to
report the resolution favorably with
this amendment but if this is done it
will be simply for the purpose of hay,
ing it voted down in the senate. The
Republicans are no more in favor of
the popular election idea than they
were week ago
