SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE.
How the Public NVuI IL strRnEIed in
Rhode Island.

Rhode Island.
Springfield CMass) Republican
As an example of what the election OF
United States senators by popular vote
would do, the Rhode Island situation calls
for further attention. On the basis of votes
cast directly by the people, Colonel God
dard, the Lincoln republican and demo-
cratic candidate. stands overwhelmingly the
people $ choice His legislative ticket car
riod every city in the state. except New
port, by large pluralities, and the cities
in Rhode Island contain by far the bulk
of the population. The republican mem
bers of the legislature, upon whom Senator
Wetmore and Colonel Colt must depend to
elect either the one or the other, represent
a beggarly minority of the people Of Rhode
Island. We understand that the idea of
making an Independent and low tariff re-
publican like Colonel Goddard the demo,
cratic candidate for senator, and Of piac-
ing him before the people prior to the elec-
ton of a state legislature originated in tho
active and fertile political brain of ex-Gov-
ernor Garvin who might himself have
justly aspred to be the senatorial candi-
date of his party. The outcome has been
a striking vindication OF his political judg-
ment, in spite of the fact that Colonel God
dard failed to win an absolute majority OF
the pocket borough legislature

The majority by which the repub-
licans will control will, Of course, i'm
pose upon them the full responsibility
for legislation and make the party ac-
countable to the people for the results.
1t should facilitate the election of a
United States senator and thus pre-
vent it from becoming a disturbing
factor in the work of lawmaking. The
personality of the legislature war
rants the expectation that it will Crap
pie with the most pressing problems
and reach satisfactory solution, espe-
Cially in the redemption of the plat
form pledges on which the party went
before the people. Should there be
any signs of backsliding among the
legislators the people will look to the
new governor to keep them in line and
make good the party's promise Of
square deal for all.
