The senate now has 81 members. no
one having been elected 10 succeed
the late Senator Hughes of Colorado.
Th- resolution as submitted con-
tanned the Sutherland amendment
which is most Objectionable to most
of the southerners.
Bacon (Dem., Ga), and many of his
colleagues, declared war on the reso-
luton as soon as the sutherland
amendment was adopted last week.
The amendment was designed to give
congress direct control and super
vision of the elections. Bacon today
tried to Introduce a resolution giving
congress the power to supervise cleo
tions, when the states failed to do
So" Vice-President Sherman ruled
Bacon out Of order.
Arising to question OF personal
privilege, Senator Crawford, (Rep., >.
d., who spoke all night during the
Lorimer filibuster, explained that
failure to catch a car prevented him
from reaching the senate until two
minutes after the vote had been
taken OF the constitutional resolution.
He announced that he would have
voted for the resolution.
The defeat OF the resolution Is at
trihuted by Senator Borah tRep.,
Idaho), its author 10 the Srthcrland
amendment.
II am encouraged to hope thas we
VII have enough votes at the extra
session to prevent t.e abortion of
any such amendment and canse Ihe
passage OF the resolution.
This Is the first timo that th' SEN
ME has given a formal vote on this
subject and the fact tnat we we're
able to force II that FAR, shows he
great progress sof the popular goiern'
n,ent movement"
