yldinp for ihe direct election 81 sena-

argument for the retention @ the
present method Of election 20 The up
per house
Il have never exaggerated The siE-
nlfcance Of the alteration proposed IN
regard to the election Of senators OF
the United States, said Lodge.
Reduced to its simplest form, an
amendment providing for the choice
OF senators by direct popular election
Is merely "A proposition to convert the
senate into second house OF repre-
sentatiycs. with two congressmen-at-
large from each state, who are TO De
called senators aud 10 hold ofiiee iol
six years. The only difference be-
tween these senators and the members
OF the house would be IN the size OF
the constituency and IN the greater
length Of the term.
1T may easily be the first step IN
a radical change which viii lead to the
destruction Of the equality OF the
states In the senate. and to the con-
segment consolidation OF the govern
meni. but as II stands In Itself and
by itself Il merely substitutes con-
grcssmcn at large for senator's.
This proposition Is to take from
the United states. by striking out
from the first paragraph of section 4
everything relating TO the election oil
senators, all power to regulate the
time aud manner OF holding senatorial
elections. Not content with this, the
resolution goes on to give affirmatiyely
all control over the time. place and
manner Of electing senators. to the
legislatures OF the states.
This change Is not an alteration In
the mechanism Of the system. II
strikes at the very foundation OF the
national government. II Is now pro-
posed to put the United States gov
ernment. so far as the election OF
snators Is concerned. at the mercy OF
the states. II is proposed 10 take from
the United States any power TO pro-
tect its own citizens In the exercise
OF their rights, no matter how great
the need might be for such protection.
IF this amendment should become a
law twenty-tbree states, including
perhaps only q minority Of the popu-
latlon, could at any moment arrest
the movement OF the government and
stop all lis operations,
ITO change the mechanism OF choos-
ing senator's, and presidents, or rep
resentatlves is serious matter, re-
quiring careful consideration but this
new proposition strikes at the very
root OF the national government.
ITO call suck a scheme as this
progress Is mockery; Il Is retrogres-
sion and reaction OF an extreme Kind.
IL adopted. II would carry the govern
ment back to the controversies and the
struggles out Of which the constltu-
tion was born. and which beset and
endangered the infancy OF the United
States"
