0yhnsry, but especially in the South,
for the election of United States Sen
ators by the people, they appreciate
the wisdom OF the founders Of our
government when they provided FOR
the selection OF one branch OF our
legislative body which was NOS TOO
closely in sympathy with popular
clamor. There is a good deal OF dem
agogy in the howl for the election OF
Senators by the people. On its face
it is popular issue, but the people
OF the South do not want II, and they
ought not only to oppose any change
IN the Constitution which would
bring it about, but they ought 70
oppose selection of Senatorial candi-
dates by primary. They were saved
from the Ubiquitous force bill by the
Senate, as well as from such measures
as the Crumpacker bill, and there Is
no doubt that If the members of the
Senate had been elected by direct
vote Of the people the South would
time and again have been hampered
and Inundated by legislation which
the individual members OF Congress
did not approve, but which were
passed at the behess OF popular
clamor.

NOT TOBACCO WEATHER

Tobacco sales appear again to have
dropped into rut. as no sales OF any
consequence have been made during
the last three days. Heavy deliveries
are being made of loose tobacco to
the prizing houses of the association
and to the Independent buyers, though
little OF the tobacco is being priced.
Some reflections have been made by
the buyers of the association tobacco
this week, because the warm rain,
have caused the tobacco to become
too soft and wet, These hogsheads
will be put through drying process
by the 'warehousemen and no loss
other than slight delay is anticipated.
