Debate Opens on Election
Of Senators by People.
Cummins and Burton Attack
Ocean Mail Bounty Bill.
Progress In Reciprocity With Cana.
da--virgInia's Old Debt.

washington, Jan. 20.-For the first
time since the report of the resolution
looking to the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people,
that resolution today became the sub
ject of general debate in the Senate
and the debate served to indicate the
chief danger threatening the success of
the measure.
Ra"ner was the chief speaker. but
the discussion was participated in by
Bacon, Borah. Sutherland and others.
1t grew out of the Maryland senator's
assault upon the Sutherland amend
ment giving Congress such power to
control the time and manner of hold
ing senatorial elections as is now pos
seSsed by it in the election Of MEM
bers Of the House of Representatives.
This amendment gives friends of the
resolution their principal concern. 1t
appeals to many of the Republican SEN
ators, but not to the Democrats. The
apprehension is that it may be voted
into the resolution and in that event
il is probable that the provision as
whole would he defeated. a ma ajority
vote would be sufficient to adopt the
amendment. while two thirds would be
necessary to insure the success of the
resolution as A whole.
Both Rayner and Bacon charged that
the Sutherland provision would authorize
the use of federal agents at all the polls
and while Sutherland admitted that such
exercise of authority would be possible,
he contended that it would be invoked
only in case of abuses.
