nominate Mr. Smith for the po-
Eition.
They had but q short time IN
which to accomplish the task,
but they went about It with q
determination to succeed The
signatures were secured from
among both colored and white
citizens. In speaking OF the phe-
nomenaI success Of this volun-
tary movement to nominate Mr..
Smith one Of the canvassers for
signatures said: I'VE did not
even have to ask or urge the men
to do the work. As a matter Of
fact, we who were at the head
of the movement did not think
the necessary signatures could
be got In so short a time. The
result was an agreeable surprise,
which seldom falls to the lot Of
an individual without some ef-
fort on his part"

Senate's Attitude Indicated.

The attitude of a majority Of the Sem
ate toward the direct election proposition
was indicated just before the Senate adj
journed yesterday afternoon. Senator
Scott of West Virginia made an effort
to have the Senate take up the Sulloway
service pension bill. Senator Borah raised
the point that an agreement to the mo-
ton to take it UP would result in dis
placing the unfinished business, the raso-
luton for direct election of senator's. The
proposition was being discussed when
Senator 'Cullom moved an executive ses-
sion. This motion prevailed, and the
direct election resolution was safe.

reach a compromise and asked unani-
nous consent that the matter lie finally
disposed of before adjournment Friday
Senator Hepburn objected. and Senator
Boral1 reiterated his previous announce
ment to force a conclusion tomorrow, if
it is possible to do SO.
If Mr.. Borah carries out his purpose,
and there is every reason TO believe he
will. it will mean that the THURSDAY
meeting of the Senate will be protract-
ed one-maybe an all-night session The
opposing senators may attempt filibus-
ter possibly by continuous talking. Mr.
Hepburn shows no weakening in his an
nounced intention to resist the resolu-
ton to the utmost and he may be one
of the leaders in the filibuster.
Friends of popular election show
great feeling of confidence. Not only
does the announcement of Mr.. Borah
indicate that, but they say privately that
they can maintain quorum for the
transaction of business for an indefinite
session tomorrow.
They have been given hope by the DEM
ocrats. Consultations yesterday, after
the adjournment of the democratic eau
Gus, gave grounds for believing the DEM
ocrats will support the direct election
amendment, even with the sutherland
amendment. That amendment retains in
Congress the supervision over the sena-
torial elections and has been resisted by
the democrats because. as stated, they
feared Congress might interfere with
some of the grandfather clause" pro-
visions in the election laws of southern
states. -,
