DIRECT VOTE
FOR SENATOR
Col. Roosevelt a Supporter
Of That Proposition
BUT A FURTHER OPINION
He Believes the Federal
Government Should Ex-
ercise Supervision Over
Popular Vote. Colonel
Also for Reciprocity.

Grand Rapids. Mich. Feb. 1.-THE
election of senators by the direct vote
of the people is favored by Col
Roosevelt. He believes that the con-
stitution should be amended to pro-
vide for popular election. In his Lin
coin day speech tonight Col Roose-
welt came out squ3rely in favor of
the movement
"One Of the progressive policies
upon which l think the great ma
jority of progressives are agreed is
that senators of the United States
should be elected by popular VOTE.
said Col Roosevelt THE constitu-
ton should. in my judgment, be
amended TO provide for this"
Asserting that the present method
of electing senators was a relic" of
old times, and should be remedied.
the colonel also declared himself in
favor OF abolishing the electoral col
lege for the election of a president.
Yet, he said, while he believed i'm the
election of senators by a direct vote.
he would not favor any policy which
would take away from the federal
government amy particle of the con-
troll which ii now has as regards
the election of senator's"
Z Col. Roosevelt came from New York
to be the chief speaker at the Lin
coin anniversary before the Lincoln
club. His subject was. Lincoln and
Progressive Republicanism."
The banquet hall. seating more than
1000 persons. was crowded. The
cheering which greeted the former
presidents appearance was a contin-
uation of the ovation which began
on his arrival in the afternoon, when
the crowds greeted him with cries
of Teddy for president in 1927
Other speakers at the table tonight
were Hannis Taylor. former ambas-
sador to Spain: Senator William o.
Bradley of Kentucky: Governor Chas.
S. Osborne OF Michigan; Senator Will
liam Alden Smith of Michigan; Rep
resentative Julius Kahn of California,
and Addison G. Proctor. who was a
delegate to the national convention
Col. Roosevelt i'm his address also
urged the adoption of the proposed
reciprocity treaty with Canada He
said:
This region in Michigan and the
immediate surrounding territory is
the birthplace of the republican party.
1t is eminently fitting that we should
come here. The republican party
should be true to the principles which
the founders professed
The republican party must be pro-
gressive; otherwise. there is no war
rant for its existing at all. 1t must
show that it is the heir of Lincoln
and not the heir of the cotton wings
who so feared and denounced what
they called his radicalism But IT is
equally essential that we remember
Lincoln's cool, temperate wisdom, as

say that / heartily concur in the
views expressed by you in this morn
ing's Republican. The wisdom of
adopting such a constitution is no
longer in issue The electors of. Ari-
IONA have overwhelmingly adopted it.
and it is now up to us to secure adj
mission under it. Every citizen of
the territory who desires statehood
should earnestly labor to secure our
admission under the constitution as
adopted. Every person here either
knows some congressman or senator
personally, or has, some friend who
does, and therefore, each one should
forthwith write the strongest appeal
possible to the president and to every
congressman and senator in office,
and should then urge every friend
here and elsewhere to do the same.
With a united effort, it is probable
that we can overcome any objections
that the president and congress may
have to the constitution as written.
and thus secure our immediate adj
mission. Our chances of admission
will be greatly enhanced if each
citizen will Immediately make him.

SCATTERED WIVES
OF HERBERT SMITH
CLEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON
TWO LINES.
This Risamist Now Supposed to Be
in New York.

Los Angeles, Feb. 1.-The police OF
this city telegraphed the police Of New
York tonight asking for the arrest OF
Herbert smith. or Bert Sepulveda de la
Muerte. on a charge of bigamy. Smith,
or Muerte, is said to have wives
scattered between Havana, Cuba, St
Thomas. Canada, and between Atlanta
and Los Angeles. He is believed to be
now in New York honeymooning with
his latest spouse, Mrs. Charlotte
Founder, wealthy widow. with whom
he went through a marriage ceremony
last month. The woman on whose COM
plant a warrant was issued against
Smith today is Miss Anna Mueller OF
Hollywood. a suberb of this city. 1t Is
alleged that he contracted a bigamous
marriage with her on April l. 1903, hav-
ing had a wife at that time living at
Eagle Pass, Texas.
TT was a cruel April fool joke" re-
marked Justice Summerfield. who is
sued the warrant at the request of Dis
trict Attorney Blair.
Miss Mueller did not swear TO the
bigamy warrant. That was done by
Conrad Steinel. chief clerk of one Of
the executive departments of the Salt
Lake railroad, whose connection with
the case is unknown.
According to statements made to
Justice Summerfield. Smith. after be-
coming acquainted with Mrs. Founder.
was accustomed to use her automobile
to take his Hollywood wife out riding.
Among the women Smith is said to
have duped were Frances Downs of
Atlanta. and Lucy Smith of st. Thorn
as, Canada.

A FEDERAL REVERSE.

San Antonio. Feb. 11.-Advices re-
ceived today say that the Mexican
federal troops suffered a severe de-
feat at Mulato. where a battle ragged
for thirty-six hours.
According to the message, the rebel
forces lost but two men. while the
federal losses were described as nu-
merous.
Many dead soldiers were said to
have been left lying on the field. The
federals outnumbered the rebels 500
to 200. Officers familiar with that
section believe the federals were
caught in a pocket. At last accounts

ell as his fierce zeal for righteous

well as his fierce zeal for righteous
ness.
There can be no real progress
unless there be wise progress. In
other words. the republican party
must be not only progressive, but
sane. Lincoln won a place in his
tory because he headed the forces
which overthrow the kind of con-
servatism which was typified in the
followers of Buchanan and Fillmore.
But he was able to overthrow
these men because he declined to be
led aside from the path of healthy
progress to follow extremists of the
John Brown and Wendell Phillips
type. These two men rendered their
times good service. But If Lincoln
had followed their steps the result
would have been the death of the
nation.
I'VE must not be misled by mere
names. Compared with Buchanan
and Fillmore. Lincoln was a radical
and extreme progressive. Compared
with John Brown and Wendell Phil
lips he was sane and conservative
right in both positions.
"One of the progressive policies
upon which I think the great ma
jority of progressives is agreed is
that senator's should be elected by
popular vote. The constitution should
in my judgment. be so amended as
to provide for this.
THE insistence upon the election of
senators in some way which shall
not permit the people to pass directly
upon them is merely a relic of the
same feeling which made the found
ers of the country trust the election
of a president to the electoral coll
lege instead Of to a direct popular
vote. The same fears of the people
are expressed now by those who are
against the choice of senators by
popular vote as were expressed a
century and a quarter ago by the
grand and wise men who enormously
felt that il was not safe to trust the
election of a president to the direct
popular vote.
"A comparatively short experience
convinced the nation that the presi-
dent should be voted for directly by
the people. Although the form of
the electoral college has been re-
tanned. 1T is an actual fact that the
vote, for president is a direct vote.
the electors having no functions ex-
cept formally to ratify the popular
decree. 1t is possible that even this
slight function could. with advan-
tage. be abolished.

suited from the change in the case
