Curtis Opposes Direct Nomination.
AS senator from Kansas, Senator
| Curtis today addressed the senate In
opposition to the revised resolution
proposing to submit to the states con-
stitutional amendment for the election
of senators by direct vote. All through
, hts speech Senator Curtis hurled at
tacks at his colleague, Senator Bris-
tow, for approving the amended reso-
luton.
Senator Curtis said that he was In
favor of a constitutional amendment
looking to the election of senators by
direct vote, but he was not willing
that it should be amended so congress
should give up all its rights to make
or alter the regulations OF a state for
the election Of United States senators.
This, he said, was what the resolution
would provide. The amended resolu-
ton, II its substance was approved by
Tic eIdIeS, WOulQ result IN the states
disfranchising colored voters If they
80 desired. without congress being able
to raise a hand. He said:
Il strongly favor the joint resolution
to provide for the election of senators
by direct vote of the people," said
Senator Curtis. But do not think it
should be burdened with the objection
able and unfair provisions placed in 1t
by a majority of the committee. AS

Kansas, the child Of freedom, the home
Of old John Brown, the advance agent
of liberty, who gave his life to hasten
the conflict which resulted in freeing
the slaves, cannot support the rider
or Joker placed in the resolution by
majority Of the committee"
That Senator Bristow should con.
slider the amendment to the resolution
as immaterial was matter of regret
to Senator Curtis. "I regret very
much said Senator Curtis Of his re-
publican colleague, ito see the senator
treat legislative measure SO lightly"

calculated to promote political moral

corrupt legislator who casts 1t as civ
lily dead, at least in that transaction
mined by the votes of honest men"
Mr.. Bailey would not admit, as SEN
ators Root, Borah and others had
charged, that in demanding the total
exclusion Of dishonest votes he really
was giving effect to such votes. On the
contrary he undertook to turn the
! charge upon his antagonists, saying
made against eleven members Of the
illinois legislature. He added:
Deducts Eleven With Same Result.
! Subtfactlng these eleven votes from
total of 202 we have an unchallenged
membership Of 191 members who by
virtue Of their position and Of their in
tegrity were qualified to elect sena :

Tor his opponents. Under those circum
stances no man could deny that he was
entitled to his seat in this senate as IA
matter Of law and still less can they
deny 1t as a matter of morals because
he had clear majority Of the honest
men in the legislature
Now let us see the rule proposed by
the senators from Idaho, Iowa and
New York and what result do we
reach BY keeping these eleven men in
this equation they prevent 81 honest
men from effecting an election over "a
and this markes it plain that they are
the gentlemen who are giving effect to
the votes of rascals, because by receiv-
Ing eleven votes they thus prevent an
honest ma jority from working out its
will"
Declaring then that the propositions
ne had propounded would prove to he
the best protection against the bale

our politicies Mr.. Bailey went on:
No matter how honest the gentle
men of the other side may be 1t is still
true, that in striving to reverse the
presidents of the senate and override
the courts of the country they are
seeking to establish doctrine that
will permit a dishonest faction Of
legislature to disable an honest major
ity from choosing senator to repre-
sent their state"
