Washington. = A joint resolution
providing for an amendment to the
constitution to permit the election Of
United States senators by direct vote
OF the people was adopted by the
House by vote Of 237 to 80.
1t had already passed the Senate.
and now goes to the states for ap-
proval.
All that remains to be done is the
formal signing OF the instrument and
the issuance of a proclamation to the
states to signify their wishes on the
proposed change.
The vote was preceded by bitter
contest in which the Southern men,
bers joined common cause against the
resolution. Led by Representative
Bartlett of Georgia, the Georgia. Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana delegations
fought to prevent its passage because
of the Senate amendment which gave
the federal government supervision of
the elections. They based their oppo-
sition almost entirely on the danger
of negro domination.
The first vote was on an amend
ment by Representative Bartlett which
took from the federal government all
supervisory powers. 1t was defeated,
1S9 to SO. On the vote for the adop-
uon of the resolution, two-thirds OF
the House being necessary, so Demo
Gratis deserted. There was not single
Republican vote cast against the reso-
luton, which was adopted to the ac-
compartment of a thunderous ap-
plause.
Direct election of senators first was
taken up by Congress in 1926. From

conference since July eth last year,

Its opposition to granting federal con-
troll Of senatorial elections, 1t might
have met the fate OF the others.
1t was this danger which led the
House to agree'not to press its views.
