Plan for Compromise on Di-

PUT ISSUE UP TO STATES
Now Urged That Two Propositions
Shall Be Submitted.
BR1sTow FAv0Rs THE PLAN

Out of the conference between the rep
Of the Senate and the House
on the resolution for the direct election
of United States senator's may come a
compromise, proposing two amendments
to the Constitution instead OF one Such
is the latest suggestion which is under
consideration by the conferees
AS passed by the House the resolution
proposes that the Constitution shall be
amended to allow the election Of men,
bers of the upper house OF Congress by
direct vote and to give the states full
control over the times. places and man
ner of holding the elections. BY the adop-
ton of the Bristow amendment the SEN
ate struck out of the resolution the part
proposing to take away from Congress
the control over the voting for senators
similar to that 1t now has over the vot-
ing for members Of the lower house.
The House refused to accept the modi-
fcation Of the Senate and conference
was agreed to.
Two Main Propositions.
1t is recognized that there are two
main propositions involved In the negotia-
tions-whether or not there shall be di-
rect elections and whether the federal
government or the state governments
shall have control over those elections.
BY its action the House has, up to this
time, expressed wish to join both
propositions in one amendment, while
the Senate has turned down one Of the
propositions, but expressed itself in ia
vor of the other.
1t is now proposed to the cOnferees
that they separate the two propositions
and recommend that they be submitted
to the states in separate amendments. In
that way. 1t Is pointed out, state legisla-
lures could accept direct elections with
out assuming TO themselves from Con-
gress he control of the elections. But
states that desired both propositions at
the same time could show their wishes by
ratifying both amendments. States
could accept direct elections without any
qualifications, and yet would have an op-
portunity to declare in favor of state
rather than federal control of those cleo

Opportunity for Choice.

In behalf of this compromise, it is
argued that the House will get the two
propositions before the state legislatures
for ratification and yet the Senate will
not lose what it Is contending for. If the
states, as the Senate's action argues. do
not want the main proposition incumber-
ed with the other. they will not have to
accept both to get one.
This latest compromise will be thorough
ly discussed at the next meeting of the
conferees, to be held next Tuesday.
ment upon 1t or upon some other COM
promise at that time Is only conjecture,
for the conferees admit they do not know
themselves.
compromise to come out Of the confer
ence would follow an amendment pro-
posed by Senator Bacon-that the federal
government should take control of the
elections. when the state falls to act. 1t
is now practically sure that such plan
will not be acceptable to the conferees.
through objections on the part of the
Senate's representatives that they are
yielding more than the Senate would be
willing to yield to the House.
Agreement Is Predicted.
Encouraging reports come from the
conferees that some agreement will be
reached before the end of the present
session of Congress. Members of both
houses of Congress have been urging
such a course and Senator Borah to
keep the plea for prompt action in mind,
has made several inquiries on the floor
of the Senate as to the progress made
in conference.
Senator Bristow is especially interest
ed in the compromise that will come out
of conference, because 1t was his amend
ment to the resolution that brought
about the differences between the two
houses. When asked last night il he
would accept the latest suggested COM
promise--that two constitutional amend
ments be proposed instead of one--he
said that he would.
