THE ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

1t is probable that the law controll-
ing the election of United States sena-
tors will soon be so amended that there
will not be hiatus, as it were, every
time the term of a senator from Flor
ida expires. For instance, the term of
Senator Taliaferro of that state expires
on March A OF next year, but the Legis-
lature doesn't meet until the follow
ing April. There is a month or more,
therefore, during which Florida is rep
resented by only one Senator, unless
an appointment is made by the Gov
ernor.
The Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections has agreed upon a bill
which provides for the election of a
senator by the Legislature which meets
last before the vacancy will occur.
In this same bill it is also provided
for the election to take place the sec
ond Tuesday after the temporary or
ganization Of the Legislature. At pres
ent the law is construed to mean the
second Tuesday after the permanent
organization or the Legislature. As a
consequence, the election is often put
off several weeks on account Of the
delay in effecting a permanent organi-
cation.
