that good many PEOPLE are con-

it covers the water proposition. This

Few people, as | see it. will vote a

question before the people today is a

are growing worse. We have in the
past put most of the blame on the

year came long before the fly. There
must be a cause and common sense
leads us to the conclusion that that
cause is poor water and bad drain
age. As water is life and light "A
luxury give MS the good water first
and lights afterwards.
The administration would act
wisely by resembling its action in this
light matter and by turning it's alton

addition it would save the cost of an
election, as the bond issue will be
defeated.

The news of the death of Mr..

with the deepest regret by all classes.
Many who had no personal acquan-

spected him while those who had had
business dealings with him or had
met him in a social way regarded him
highly. Few men, as was stated sun

WASHINGTON. d. c.. June 12.---
The senate today passed the house
bill for the direct election of United
States senator's by a vote of 81 to
"a. The Bristow amendment giving
the federal government supervision OF
such elections was adopted by vote
of As to A. the vice president cast

already had passed the resolution.
Senator Reed, of Missouri pro-
tested against the vice president

resolution as amended was thea fin

Determined to Vote
Having determined to vote today
on the resolution the senate devoted
undivided attention to it through
out the day, and when night fell was
in such maze of speech making
that there was prospect for the in
definite prolongation Of the session.
The debate began shortly after noon
and drifted into a political affair.
The democratic senators criticized
,Bristow's change OF attitude. Bris-
tow framed the principal amendment
in the nature of a substitute to the
main proposition, and he sought to
continue supervision of senatorial
elections in congress instead of dele
eating it to the states as proposed by
the house resolution.
In the lat session the Kansas SEN
ator voted against an amendment
offered by Sutherland, of Utah, which
would have had the same effect as
his own provision of this session,
Bristow said that IN both instances
his attitude had been dictated by his
desire to do that which most GER
tainly would insure the success of the
popular election resolution.
Rorah in charge of the resolution,
spoke in support and Bacon opposed

The chair called Davis to order.
Cummins denounced Davis state
ment of an alleged instance as I'M

saying that only under great provo
cation would he pay any attention
to what the senator from Arkansas

Bacon aroused feeling by declar-
ing that the great interests had been

to defeat the resolution and Senators
