u Whether you believe in the PROPOSE.
ton or not. the direct election of Unit.
ed States senators is a problem now
right to the fore in American politics.
1t is altogether a nonpartisan problem.
Republicans. Democrats. Socialists.
Prohibitionists. are lined up in favor
of e!ecting senators by popular vote in
stead Of by legislative joint majorities.
as the constitution of the United
States provides. Some Of the argu
ments against this proposed change
are interesting. For instance. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts says he fears
the direct election Of senators will put
the United States government at the
mercy Of the states" Just what is
meant by this the present writer is un
able to fathom, but it is Interesting be-
cause 1t is curious.
For. many years the United States
government has been at the mercy OF
the trusts. and chiefly because the
trusts are able to control the United
States senate as elected by legislatures
1t is comparatively easy to buy the
balance of power in a state legislature
when the majority one way or the
other is small. Anybody who pos
sesses sense enough to tie his own era
vat is we'll aware that scores of Unit
ed States senators have bought their
seats or have had them bought for
them by 1.-THE interests" their masters
It is not possible, however. to buy q
majority Of the voters Of a state.
.Disgraceful deadlocks frequently oc-
cur in the election of senators under
the present system. This usually leads
to bribery on one hand or the other
But back Of the election Of the senator
by the legislature is the election Of the
legislators who are to choose the sen.
ator. Legislative districts are com,
paratively small. It is not SO very DIFF
ficult to turn the tide in q SUFFICIENT
number of districts to elect legislators
who may be counted upon to vote for
the senatorial candidate whoi s desired
by sthe interests" These are matters
worthy Of thought 9,
