PET MEASURE COMES FIRST
Popular Election of Senators Is Cues

Take Precedence Over
Other Bills

Washington February 3.--After a Sc
ries of thrilling experiences Senator
Borah, supported by progressive re-
publican and democratic senators, made
tremendous advances today through the
lines Of old guard republicans . and
placed the resolution for the election
of senator's by direct vote of the peo-
pie in a most advantageous position
squarely in front of the enemy's goal.
After taking a number of rebutfs, the
Idaho senator. with persistence not
often witnessed in the Senate. pound
ed away until he landed his resolu-
ton in the favored place on the legis
lative programme, and it must come
up every day as the unfinished busl-
ness. n $50
The moment the Lorimer case was
laid aside today Senators Nelson and
Borah clamored for recognition. Vice
President Sherman saw Mr.. Nelson first
and gave him the floor. He moved to
take up the bill to regulate the leas-
ing of Ala skan coal land, whereupon
Mr. Borah promptly moved to lay that
motion on the table. which failed. SO to
Al. Most senator's thought this set
tied the question.
After the Senate had proceeded with
the Alaskan bill for a short time Mr.
Nelson gave way to Senator Warren to
make a motion that the Senate adjourn
over until Monday Mr.. Borah jumped
into the fray again. He said he would
object and that he did because it
had become apparent that senators OPP
posed to his resolution would not give
consideration to 1t If they could help it,
He deman ded roll call on the mo-
ton to adjourn until Monday and this
time he won by a small majority.
Thus encouraged Mr.. Borah asked that
his resolution be made the unfinished
business of the Senate. From the pre-
vious roll call it appeared that this reso-
luton might be given the preference and
Mr. PenrOse hurriedly moved an execu-
tive session. Such a motion under the
rules of the Senate may be made al any
time. and therefore Mr.. Borah again
found himself elbowed out of the way
AS the executive session motion was be-
ing put to the Senate, Mr.. Borah made
a demand for a roll call, secured a suf-
fcient number of seconds, and the call
was ordered
On what was regarded as the most sig
nificant vote of the day, the executive
session was denied, 36 to 40. All of those
who voted in the affirmative are regard
ed as lined up against popular elections
of senators, and those who voted in the
negative are known TO be in favor of this
policy.
All of the Affirmative votes were cast
by republicans, but number of insur-
gent republican senators voted with the
democrats against the closed session.
Recognizing that Mr. Borah had the
votes, no further objection was made by
opponents of popular election of sena-
tors, and the resolution became the I'M
finished business of the Senate without
q roll call.

Poll Taxes Paid

Huntsville, February 3.-(Special)-
The number of poll taxes paid in Mad
ison county up to the night of Feb
ruary l is 1901. This is practically the
same number that paid the tax last
year, and the voting strength of the
county will remain about the same.
During the last few days the prospect
of having a special election during this
year on the liquor question brought in
a large number of persons who paid the
poll tax as a protection against dis
ifranchisement.
