tion OF senators by direct vote OF the

Depew. who is opposed 10 that method
of choosing members OF the upper
branch of congress, he said
"rhe senior senator from New York
need not fret himself about the negroes
of the south or their possible disfran-
chisement but rather may he. r-hen his
term shall have expired betake himself
to the courts OF the old world. there to
bask In the sunshine and smiles OF the
crowned heads. and bow down in humble
obeisance at the shrine of royalty. This
Will be a fitting close to the career OF
the senior senator from New York"
Mr.. Davis incidentally arraigned for
mer President Roosevelt as one having
IAN undying thirst for dlstatorship and
an unbridled ambition to rule.
He added that the popular will may be
trusted. and said this fact was demon
strated AT the last election In which, he
contended. the former president WIS Sc
verely rebuked.
Mr.. Davis also incidentally discussed
the case OF Senator Isrirner urging that
