Glee club. The question: y" Resolved,
that U. s. senators should be elected
by the direct vote of the people and
not by the legislature" Ira Certli
opened for the affirmative by telling
the Importance of the question, that
the present condition was unsatfsfact-
ory as a result 80 states had declared
for popularity elections. He mention

of the senators resorted to bribery In

and Calhoun. A change in the SYSTEM
would mean continued war between
the states, for senators would always
be state senators enacting the direct
wish of the people instead OF U. S.
senator's striving for the welfare OF
the nation as a whole.

policy, is the cause of deadlocks, it
lays too much work on the shoulders
of the state legislatures. The United
States of today is not the United
States of 1889 and the American peo-
pie have called for the change. Mr..
