DIRECT ELECTION
BILL NEAR DEFEAT
Adoption OF the Amendment
Sounds knell for Measure.

The adoption by the Senate yesterday
of the so-called Sutherland amendment
to the resolution proposing direct cleo
ton of Senators practically means the
defeat of that resolution. Its supporters
concede that with the Sutherland amend
ment attached to it, the chances of the
acceptance by the Senate OF the resolu-
ton are slight. The Sutherland amend
ment was adopted by a vote of so to 81.
The amendment retains to the Federal
government control over elections of
Senators, including the power of prescrib-
ing the qualifications of voters The
original resolution empowered the States
themselves to regulate the election of
Senators. The adoption of the Suth-
erland amendment has raised a fear in
the minds of Southerners that it's in
corporation into the United States Con-
stitution might give to the Federal gov
ernment more power than it now pos
sesSes to interfere with the grandfather"
clauses in the constitutions of the South
ern States, and several Southerners who
would have supported the original reso-
luton will now vote against it in its
amended form.
Supporters of the direct election reso-
luton have charged on the floor OF the
Senate that the introduction of the
Sutherland amendment was merely a
scheme on the part of the opponents OF
the measure to accomplish it's defeat.
The vote on the resolution, as amended,
will be taken on next Tuesday, an agree
ment to this effect having been reached
by unanimous consent.
