POPULAR ELECTION OF UNITED
STATES SENATOR'S.

A more forcible illustration of
the power of public sentiment
could scarcely be found than the
present situation in the Senate
of the United States with regard
to popular election of Federal
Senators, says the Baltimore Sun.
Time and again have resolutions
been offered for an amendment
to the Constitution to give the
people the right to elect Senators.
AS often as they came in they
went to a pigeon-hole and there
remained. More than once the
House of Representatives has
passed such a resolution and
sent it to the Senate, and that,
too, has always gone to the
Senatorial morgue.
There has never been any
doubt that the people of the
United States earnestly desire
this change in the interest of
popular government, but it has
always been denied them. Now
the news comes from Washing
ton that a resolution for an
amendment to the Constitution
providing for the election of
Senators have opposed popular
election. In republican form
OF government the people should
have the election of their law
makers without any Intermediary
whatever. For many years the
members of the Senate of Mary
land were elected by Senatorial
electors, and the system was
deemed so Objectionable and so
contrary to the principles of
popular government that in order
to abolish it the State was on the
verge of revolution and civil
life.
The election of Federal Sena-
tors by Legislatures is just as
bad in practice. It is notorious
fact, that, as a rule, Legislatures
do not represent or express the
popular will in the appointment
Of tors. The appoint
ment is too often the re-
suit of a deal brought about by
the Vaccinations of a party boss.
And even now in New York,
while the Legislature which will
meet shortly has the appointment
the friends of the candidates
are not talking to members of
the Legislature nor talking for
their support. They are making
their appeals to Mr.. Charles
Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall. There could scarcely be
a more forceful argument for a
change than this.

In commenting upon the candidacy of Leon Westmorcland, the Magazine Developer says, in part;
 He is loyal citizen, who loves his country, for during the Spanish-Ameri- can war he enlisted in the volunteers and offered his services fos the Stars and Stripes. He conducted himself creditably, and when the war ended was given an honorable discharge.
 "'He won his first national fame at Seattle during the National Convention of Editors, when he delivered an ad- dross that sounded and resounded from Maine to California. Every news paper nearly, in the United States had something to say relative to his speech.
 ''He is Democrat, born and bred, being the son of Confederate soldier who fought valiantly under General Forrest. He has always lived true to his raising and voted the Democratic ticket.

sohal friends do not approve of his showing the white feather like that shpping into the district and not meet. ing me on the stump like man. No brave man likes a quitter. I have ask ed his friends, wherever I meet them what he has done of general interest to the whole district during his two terms. They all avoid the answer. or admlt that they know nothing. A few weeks ago he introduced nine pension clalms in one week That was all right 1T the pensioners deserved it. but while ne was helping the Federal soldiers, who wore the blue, get pensions. even though they are good men, could he not be doing something for those who put him in office9
 |" In less than two weeks after I an nonnced, the mails of the Fourth Con gressional District were almost con- gested with hundreds of pounds of let ters, and books, and bulletins, and gar den seed, sent out by my opponent. Why did he wait until I announced to do this2 Some of the books sent ont were made in 1905. Why didn t he send them before9
 The people generally are thanking me for these things received, saying they would never have gotten them if had not announced for Congress- I claim that he is violating the postal laws by sending out letters without l fxyn-pnnf nfa to take the place of his campaign liter ature. In other words, he is making the people pay his campaign expenses, while ], after having turned everything l have on earth into the race, must go down in my pockets and pay the bills myself.
 ''I most solemnly promise you that when elected l will never ask the peo- pie of the Fourth Congressional District to pay my campaign expenses.

to the present, because the opinions have not been offici- ally printed, and I have not them in my possession, but according to the Judges own statement, taking his whole period, during his present term he has been affirmed in only 55 per cent of his cases while during his first term he was affirmed 72 per cent, showing a wonderful falling off during the present term, or that his record is tending downward instead of upward. That is not much encouragement in fa- vor of a third term, and SUD- ports my argument that the Supreme Court records show that judges are reversed more frequently during their second term than their first, and that Judge Steel is no exception to the rule.
 The remainder of my op- ponents circular consists in the usual stock arguments in favor of long tenure in office and needs no reply.
 Thanking you for the en- thusiastic support which you have given my candidacy during the present campaign and soliciting your continued support, 1 remain,
 Very truly yours,

 F. l.. Jackson vs James Cheatham, s4 Ark, 624; appeal dismissed for non-compliance with Rule 9.
 Dr. Parsons vs State (4 cases) S2 Ark, GOA: dismissed on motion of attorney general. These last cases were dismissed because the appeals
 were never perfected.
 The above are samples of cases that have been includ-
 ed in support of Judge Steels record. In making up my statement of Judge Steel's record and comparing | it with other judges of the
 state I omitted cases in both
 lists which had not been con-
 sidered by the Supreme
 Court on their merits, be-
 cause they should not be
 counted for or against a cir
 cult judge, since the Su-
 preme Court in no way indi-
 cates whether the circuit judge was right or wrong. As is we'll known by every
 lawyer, when a man appeals his case to the Supreme Court, if his attorney does not file his brief in time this
 case will be dismissed or af- irmed, without the Supreme
 Court ever even reading the
 transcript.
 I stand by the statements
 contained in my former let
 ter, and the Arkansas Su-
 preme Court reports from the 82nd to the 90th inclu-
 sive. which include all the de- cisions appealed from Judge Steel's court during his sec
 ond term, so far as they
 been officially printed, show
 that he has been reversed in
 a greater per cent of his
 cases during that period than any other judge in the state of Arkansas, in cases
 which have been actually considered by that court. l laid not bring the records up

DEWYRE CASE GOES
TO JURY TOMORROW

Taking of testimony was concluded
yesterday in the trial of George De-
Wyre, the Southern railroad brak eman
charged with the killing of Robert
j. Herring, an engineer, at Pinkney
City last spring. Judge S. L. Weaver,
presiding at the trial, will deliver his
charge to the jury tomorrow morn
ing.
DeWyre himself was put on the stand
by the defense yesterday afternoon to
testify in his behalf, after which the
defense rested. The accused brake
man was subjected to a gruelling cross
examination by Attorney C. P. Beddow,
special counsel for the prosecution. De-
Wyre's testimony was to the effect
that he remembered little of the de-
tails of the shooting of Engineer Her
ring. Following Dewyre's examination
several of the states witnesses were
recalled to the stand for the purpose
of testifying that Engineer Herring was
not in the habit of carrying a re-
volver.
The case will go to the jury tomor-
row morning, and much interest will
doubtless be taken in the verdict rem
dered.
DeWyre's plea is insanity.

HEFLlN AND GREER
MAKE SPEECHES

Albertville September 24-(Specia1.)
Congressman Thomas Heflin and L. F.
Greer of Calhoun county were the prin-
cipal speakers today at one of the
greatest democratic rallies ever held
in Albertville. The good shower of
rain that fell yesterday afternoon and
the usual Saturday crowd brought an
unusual number of farmers to town,
and the fact that Tom Helm was to
speak here, where so many of his for
mer friends reside, brought many to
hear this distinguished statesman.
The speaking took place in the court
house and every available seat was &C.
cupied and many were compelled to
stand around the walls. E. o. Nc
Cord introduced Mr.. Greer. who is well
known here as the farmer orator." and
he made a forceful speech. Mr.. Greer
said that he would not discuss the
amendment as 1t was a dead issue and
urged the voters to lay 1t aside and
those who were for the amendment
to vote for O'Neal and those who OPP
posed it to vote for Burnett.
Then came Mr.. Heflin and he made q
democracy He dwelt at length on the
cotton situation declaring that this
years crop in the south should be
worth $9oo.oo0.oo0. He explained every
detail of the situation to the farmers
urging them not to rush their croI
to the market. He also dwelt some
time upon the tariff. Mr.. Helm paid
Congressman Burnett very high COM
pliment, and said that he felt confident
of his election and urged the people
of Marshall county to help swell his
majority, that everybody that entered
the recent primary was honor bound
to support the democratic ticket from
ONeal down to constable. Mr.. Hef
Inns speech consumed two hours ano
he was given the best of attention by
his vast audience. There Is no doubt
but what Marshall county will give an
unusually large majority for all of the
democratic nominees.
