A VICIOUS MEASURE.

The senate has passed Senator
Simpsons bill pro, iding that candi-
dates for the United States senate
shall be nominated The same as state
officers in state convention and the
name of the choice of such conven-
ton Is to be printed on the official bal
lot and the result Of the election certi-
fed to the legislature. OF course the
would not be Obliged to elect the per-
son certified by the secretary of state
as having received the greatest num-
her of votes, but the supposition is
that the legislature would be expected
to do so. Now If this measure really
provided, or could provide, for the
election of a United States senator
by a direct vote of the people the OBJ
~jections would not be so great, but 1t
Is doubtful ii the viciousness of the
measure, as it stands is fully un-
derstood by the senators and others
who have advocate: it. 1t means the
throwing into the state convention Of
a greater %cOrrupting influence than all
others heretofore existing combined.
It mean the increased activity of all
federal officials il behalf of their
makers as we'll as the earnest oppo-
sition of all disappointed applicants for
official prcferment. It means the trad
ing off Of any or all of the state
Offices. congressman and even the jul
dietary to effect the success of a SEN
atorial favorite-a real favorite per-
haps If bat two or three large coun-
ties. or a bunch of counties that may
hold the balance Of power in a state
convention. AS it often happens the
combination of Jealous interests
greater still the opportunity for com
binations and trades with the position
of United States senator thrown into
the arena of a state convention. And
this is not the end The legislature
not being bound b. the action Of the
state convention, o the votes of the
people thereon, would become a whirl-
pool OF political activity" and both
measures and men would be lined up
pro and con. as the persuasive powers
of ambitious candidates could be
brought irto play. This measure is not
IN n sense in line with primary
election reform or in line with the
principle o. initiative and referendum.
It's enactment into law would be
demora'izing to good politics in the
state and an incentive to corruption
and dickering that would throw all
past incidents of hat nature in the
state in total obscrIity.

~ary. II would take the farmer from
the plow and the harvest field, and in

for each county. Major Buttz claimed
that the present law was all right and
that everyone had a voice in the elec-
zion through c%aucuses, and that it was
their own fault if they did not attend
them.
Mr.. Bostrom, of Burleigh, spoke in

Mr.. Lyons said that he desired tC

p. Mixley always said. He didn't have
to prove it, either-he admitted it.
b .Mixley was a mar who watched, not

lis operations was in an ~aristocratic

He was employed by the owners of the
-25 houses-each man paying him SO
much. If you paid him, your house
