l can see no objection to letting the people
OF the State vote directly upon that Dues
ton. / do not think we should ever take
anything from them. TO be sure, we nave
been electing senators by the legislature
agree with the senator from AndrosCos,
gin that Maine has been very Wen favored
in its selection OF United States senators;
but it is a fact nevertheless that the peo-
pie of the State are electlng tPelr own
officers and / always was ana always
shall be in favor of letting those, matters
rest entirely with the people; ana appre-
bend that the people OF the state Of M. Malte
will elect just as good representatives as
the Legislature. [ do not care whether
our present senat tors are in favor OF it or
against it, Read the h MS t 81 6h rs eoa
TORS by Legislatures, and you viii ind it
is not very creditable one to the people
and time again, within the last 20 years,
in the State of Maine, that the man who
had the most money got the election in the
Legislatures of the United States, so much
50 that if has been a disgrace to the United
States. If you submit it to the people and
let them vote upon it, you won t have any
such examples as those which nave dis
graced this country, in the last 2 years
in MANY states of this Union. What OBJ
lection can there be to letting people vote
uron this? l am willing to trust 10 the
people upon this matter Let them vote
directly for the servants they want 10 RUE
over them. That is entirely democratic,
republican, and entirely, in keeping with
ment. Let us keep it down to the people
lust as close as we can. | hope the mo-
ton of the senator from Androscogsin Will
The PRESIDENT: The motion of the
senator from Androscoggin takes prece-
dence-the motion being to non-concur
with the House in the adoption OF amend
ment a, that it be reported to the next
Legislature.
yhe question being put the motion pre-
vailed ON further motion by the same
senator report & of the committee was ac-
copied that the same ought not to pass.
Bill, An Act to provide for the APP
pointment of a commission to invest
igate the causes of floods and over
flows of river and water courses, and
storage water, and. to make recon-
nendations for preventing floods anc
for storing water, and to make an APP
preparation therefor, came from the
House Indefinitely postponed by that
branch.
Mr.. STAPLES of. Knox: Mr.. Presi-
dent, that bill called for the appoint
ment of three commissioners with
certain amount of money. 1t is quite
evident to me that there can be no pos
sibe good derived from the bill. 1t is
evident there are three men somewhere
in the State of Maine who want a po-
sition; and it seems to me this bill is
gotten up for that very purpose. L
hope the bill will be buried so deep
that it will never be resurrected:
Mr. GOODWIN of Somerset: Mr..
President, although this is the only
measure I have had personally before
the Legislature, l move that it be in
definitely postponed.
Mr. MADDOCKS of lincoln: Mr..
President. l will not discuss the merits
of this bill, so far as it relates to the
appropriation. l do not undertake TO
be we'll enough informed to say Wheth-
er or not the State can make that APP
proDriation consistently. [ will say
as a member of the committee on IN
! terror waters, that no bill has been pre-
scented to our committee that has i'm
pressed me so fayorably as this bill.
The water power of the State seems to
to be it's greatest asset; and 1t is EVIL
dent to every man who has served on
the committee on interior waters this
winter that some reliable information
he available for future reference SO
that we may act intelligently and for
the interest of the State. The small
sum required is a mere plttance
When we are called upon here to leg
islate away the rights of the great
water power of the State, and of the
great interests of the State Wnlch
are dependent upon water powers, 1t
| is a serious question.
| e., The question being put, it was voted
to indefinitely postpone the bill in con-
eurfence.
Bill An Act to regulate the use OF
automobiles and motor vehicles upon
| the public ways, came from the House
with three amendments. The Senate
non concurred in the adoption of the
amendments and the bill was returned
| to the House. The House insisted on
the amendments and requested COM
mittee of conference. On motion by
Mr.. Guernsey of Piscataquis. the chair
appointed as such committee Messrs.
Guernsey of Piscataquis Wing of An
droscoggin and Morrison of York.
| The committee of conference to
| which was referred the disagreeing
vote of the Senate and House on bill.
| An Act relating to corporations, report
that they have agreed upon the recom-
mendation that the Senate recede and
concur. Report accepted. The Senate
thereupon voted to reconsider the vote
whereby the bill was indefinitely post
poned. Under suspension of the rules
| the bill took it's several readings and
was passed to be engrossed.
| For titles of bills passed to be en-
acted and resolves finally passed, see
House report of proceedings of preVl-
Gus session.
A recess was here taken. After re-
cess the President in the chair presld-
| ing:
On motion by Mr.. Goodwin of Somer-
! set, Senate. report on House document
relating to the Louisiana Exposition
was taken from the table.
The PRESIDENTS: The pending ques-
ton is on the motion of the senator
! from Penobscot, Mr.. Gardiner, who
moves that the Senate recede and con-
cur. Pending the motion of the sena-
: tor from Penobscot. the senator from
| Somerset. Mr. Goodwin. raises the point
of order that the motion is not in order
! The Chair after investigation Will

I status of the matter as the Chair UNI
derstands it-that the Senate voted TO
