The question of electihg United
State Senators by direct vote OF
the people is up in Congress again,
and this time in both the House
and Senate. The House has sew.
eral times passed resolutions to
submit an amendment of this char
acter to the Constitution for rat
ification by the Legislatures of the
States, but they have been inva
riably smothered in the Senate
BY bringing the matter up in both
houses at the same time it is hoped
to secure some action in the Sen
ate. Senator Mitchell of Oregon
took up the case in the Senate on
the 18th, and introduced reso'
luton, which goes to the committees
on privileges and elections. Mis-.
souri, has been fortunate in having
the will of the people carried ont
in the election of United States
Senators, but in many States trust
and other corrupt influences have
had to do with such elections. 1t
is to overcome this evil and to
bring the Senate in closer touch
with the people that the demand
for the election of Senators by a
direct vote is made.
