Washington, Jan. 1S.--That the
senate at this session must face the
question whether the constitution
shall be amended so as to require
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people was made apparent to-
day. A vote which many senators
considered a test of the sentiment
was taken, and resulted largely In
favor of the proposition.
The matter came up in the senate
In connection with the Joint resolu-
ton for the amendment of the con-
stitution recently reported from the
committee on judiciary.
When that resolution was reached
on the calendar, Mr.. Kean was ready
with an objection which had the ef-
feet of preventing immediate consid-
GRAFTON under the order of business.
Mr.. Gallinger appealed to Mr.. Kean
to withdraw his objection. He CON
sented, and the senate election reso-
luton was launched upon its legisla-
tive voyage.
The situation was such as to arouse
the immediate interest of the sena-
tors. Mr.. Sutherland was prompt in
obtaining the attention of the chair.
He wanted to amend the resolution
so as to strike out the provision CIV
ing the state legislatures supervision
Of elections and making other
Mr. Rayner, staunch advocate of
the committee resolution, suggested
that as the amendment went to the
heart of the question there should be
time for consideration.
Mr. Rayner did not press his point,
but his plea was taken up by Senator
Hale of Maine, whose position on the
merits of the measure Is diametrical-
ly opposite. He was sure that the
resolution could be acted upon with
out protracted debate. He urged de-
liberate movement and preclpitately
moved an adjournment. The first
vote was viva voce.
''The ayes appear to have It," an
nounced the chair.
Never exclaimed half dozen
senator's. Let us have the ayes and
hayes"
Accordingly, roll call was ordered
with the result that forty-three out
of sixty senators present voted against
adjournment. OF the forty-three neg
atiye votes, twenty-three were cast by
republicans
Encouraged by this. Senator Borah
prepared to press consideration Wig
orously He did not desire to prevent
debate, he said, and added he would
not do so II he could obtain the con-
sent of the senate to name day for
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1911-01-14

a vote on the resolution and all
amendments.
He suggested Tuesday, January "a.
For probably ten minutes the mem
bers of the senate discussed the de-
tails of the proposition.
Even Senator Hale appeared to fell
in with the request Mr., Borah's col
league, Senator Hepburn, had not said
word up to this time, but when the
chair put the request for unanimous
consent he said "no" and spoiled the
entire plan.
Mr.. Borah seemed displeased and
proceeded to discuss the situation
saying the Sutherland amendment had
been offered in committee and was
perfectly understood, as was the gen.
eral proposition.
Mr.. Carter did not agree. He
wanted time for consideration and
for the digestion of the Sutherland
and other amendments, which by this
time had been presented by Senators
Depew and Nelson.
Mr.. Cullom made request for an
executive session. Such requests by
the venerable Illinois senator seldom
fall on unheeding ears. This was no
exception.
After a brief session the senate ad-
journed until Monday.
