Nebraskan Would Settle Dispute Over
Popular Election of Senators by
Leaving It Optional With the States
the Manner of Choosing Members
of the Upper Branch of Congress.
Washington. July 7.-William Jen-
nings Bryan has made a proposal
which may straighten out the tangle
between tho senate and house of rep.
Iesentatives with reference to the di.
rect election of senators.
He has revived and submitted to the
eunferees OF the senate and house the
plan he advocated in 1894, when a
member of congress, This, he believes,
will dispose of the troublesome ques.
ton over the continued control of the
Federal government over the time,
place and manner of holding elections.
The senate resolution left this pow.
er in the hands of the United States.
The house resolution confined it to
the states, The Democrats, to large
extent, particularly those of the South,
have insisted upon the adoption of the
house scheme, II has been evident
that unless one side or the other gave
way there would he no action, and
submission of the proposed constitu.
tonal amendment to the states for
ratification might be delayed indefi-
nitely.
In an attempt to reach an agreement
the vice president appointed as con.
ferees ON the part of the senate Messrs.
Clark of Wyoming, Nelson of Mime
sofa and Bacon of Georgia, while
Speaker Clark has named as repre-
sentatives of the house Messrs. Ruck-
er of Missouri, Conry of New York
and Olmstead of Pennsylvania,
The composition of this committee
IS such as to indicate great difficulty
in effecting a satisfactory compromise.
Mr.. Bryan's plan, however, may be
the solution of the situation. 1t is as
follows:
Mr.. Bryan's Proposition.
The senate of the United States
shall be composed of two senators
from each state, chosen for six years,
and each senator shall have one vote,
The senators shall be chosen by the
legislatures of the several states, un-
less the people of any state, either
through their legislatures or by the
constitution of the state, shall provide
for the election OF United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people.
Then, i'm such case, during the exist
ence of such statutory or constitution
al provision. United States senators
shall be elected in such state at large
by direct vote of the people; plural
ity shall elect, and the electors shall
have the qualifications requisite for
electors of the most numerous branch
of the state legislature,
Mr. Bryan explained that under his
plan it would be left optional with a
state whether it should elect senators
by a direct vote or not.
"The justification for this plan." he
said, ''is simple and plain. If we leave
il optional with the states, we are not
compelled either to prohibit federa'
interference or to provide for it, The
optional plan gives to the Republican
party all the protection which ii now
has. 1t gives to the Democrats who
want to prohibit federal interference
all the protection which they now have.

Battle Greek, Nov. 15.-Semi-of-
ticial confirmation was obtained ON
Tuesday of the rumor that the h. w.
Clark syndicate OF Philadelphia is to
take over the operation of the Michl-
gan United Railway system, includ-
ing the interurban lines and city
lines of Lansing, Jackson, Kalama-
zoo and Battle Creek.
The English capitalists who con-
troll the majority of stock of the
system have made a preliminary
agreement with the syndicate to
lease the road to the operating COM
pany for a period of 500 years,
which means that the M.U. r. is to
be sold, as has been reported re-
Gently.
The same English capitalists will
remain in control, only they will
not have to give much attention to
the system. The Clark syndicate
guarantees to the English capital
lists the interest on their money in
vested and will take all that is made
above that sum for it's services, it is
understood.
The big deal means great deal
to this city, since the lease pro-
vides that $3,265,000 be spent on
the system in improvements. The
improvement money is also to. be
generously expended in Jackson,
Lansing and Kalamazoo, but the
most of 1t will be used in electrifying
the fruit belt line, which the M. U.
R. recently acquired. and purchasing
new cars TO operate it. This will
give through electric service from
South Haven to Detroit.
To Issue $780, 900 Bonds
The $3,265,000 is to be raised by
bond issue, and provisions have al
ready been made to market the Sc
curities. The Canadian Trust COM
pany of London is to take $1,745,-
900 of the bonds and the remaining
s1,620,000 will be sold to the In
vestment Registry, also of London.
For the purpose Of operating the
M. u. r. system the Clark syndicate
