Des Moines. March 2.-While Sena-
tor Young is parading the fact that he
voted in Washington to permit the peo-
pie to select their senator's instead OF
leaving it to the legislators, the record
has been investigated and 1t is found
that he voted for the rider to the reso-
| luton which was the means by Whlcn
the whole scheme was killed or.
! The vote was taken on the Suther-
| land amendment to the resolution for
I direct election Of senators last Friday.
| The Sutherland amendment ostensioly
gave the federal government the. right
| to regulate all elections where senators
were elected but in fact gave an oppor-
tunity for congress to interfere In all
| elections. AS soon as the amendment
was adopted, Senator Bacon. OF Geor-
! gia, announced that while he was TOT
direct election OF senator's he could not
| be for the resolution with the amend
ment. and this was the view taken
by number Of southern senator's VINO
had been counted on for approval.
| The adoption OF the Sutherland
amendment meant the detection OF
enough to defeat the measure.
| Senator Young was one Of those who
voted for the Sutherland amendment
and thru which the whole plan was
defeated. Others who voted for 1t were
Brandegee. Buckley. Burrows. Garter.
Lorimer. Hale, DUPONT. Depew and
Penrose.
! Senator Cummins voted against the
Sutherland amendment, as also did
Borah, Bourne Bristow. Brown, Clapp,
Davis. Gore, LaFollette. Martin, Bailey
and Newlands.
| It thus appears that the vote OF Sen
| ator Young in Washington is IN fact
| in perfect harmony with the vote OF his
| followers in Des Moines on the ques-
ton of popular election Of senators.
I The bill to require that Ice cream
come up to a certain fixed standard as

votes against it in the house. The

ment so that at Fourth Of July they
could make ice cream with very little
cream. but the house wouldn't stand
for such dissertation OF the national
holiday and insisted that Fourth OF
| July Ice cream should be the real stun.

more than year ago in order to enter
private business. DR.. Gibson. who was
