Popular Election Of Senator'S.


Public sentiment in favor of
the direct election United States
Senators was never before so
strong as it is now. The Senate
rial contests this year, plus the
revelations in the Lorimer case,
have given atremendous impetus
to the movement.
In West Virginia the election
of two Senators was accompanied
by partisan contest that made
the State ridiculous and narrow
ly missed ending in scandal. In
New York it took the legislature
seyenty-three days to emancipate
itself from Murphy's voting
trust" caucus and choose sena-
tor. The Iowa legislature did
not succeed ia electing senator
until April 18th, the last day of
the session, and the Colorado Leg
islature has not yet broken the
deadlock. AS for Lorimer's case
it is still stencil in the nostrils
of the whole country, and his I'll
tie to his seat must again be in
vestigated by the United States
senate.
That the resolution submitting
an amendment to the Constitu-
ton providing for the election of
United States Senators by popu-
lar vote should have been report
ed to the House. passed and sent
to the sent to the Senate within
few hours last Thursday, dem

popularity of the proposed chang
So far as the question itself is
concerned, there is little open OPP

Sixty-frst congress, relates to
the extent Of the authority which
Congress is to retain over the
