When Congress is petitioned by two

stitutional convention to submit a pro-
posed amendment. it must do so. The
obligation is positive. and there is no
way to evade it. and the country is about

-Four more states are needed, really six
more states must act for California and
Wyoming asked Congress to submit the
amendment without calling a convention.

As a plain matter of fact the American
Senate needs a big dose of reform much
more than the British House of Lords
does, and the best way to administer it
Is to provide for the election of senators
by the direct vote of the people. Six
southern states are tagging in this i'm
portant matter. including Mississippi,
whose legislature is in session. Mississippi
