PRECEDENT WILL ISSUE pRocLA.
NATION TO STATES TO
SIGNIFY WISHES.
Vote STOOD 237 TO 80
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION FOL.
LOWED BITTER FIGHT
BEGUN IN 1926.
western Newspaper Union New. Service.

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 a vote Of 2S7 to 80.
1t had already passed the Senate.
and now goes to the states for ap.
proval.
All that remains to be done is tho
formal signing Of the instrument and
the Issuance Of proclamation to the
states to signify their wishes on the
proposed change.
The vote was preceded by bitter
contest In which the Southern mem.
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-
tion 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 &C.
compartment Of a thunderous an.
plause.
Direct election Of senator's first was
taken up by Congress in 1926. From
time to time attempts have been made
to make the Senate popular body.
and have Its members elected as are
the members of the House. Numbers
OF these resolutions have died in com.
mittee, while others were passed in
the last moments Of Congress, never
to receive the Presidents signature.
Senator Bristow of Kansas intro.
duced In 1911 the one that passed.
Amended by the House, 1t has been in
conference since July Eth last year,
and II the House had not receded from
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.

WHAT ABOUT BASEBALL?

Grangeville has one of the best
baseball parks in northern Idaho,
and has probably as good local
baseball talent as any town in
the state can produce, and it is
time we were getting busy in or
ganizlng our forces for the sea
son which is now upon us. With
the advantages which we have a
team that will be a credit to the
town can be brought out with
considerable less expense than
last year, when in addition to
maintaining the team the new
grounds had to be fitted up at
great cost.
About all the boys we had last
year are available with the ex-
ception of Wolf, the deep fielder,
and there are other cracker jack
players who want to join with
the present excellent bunch in
winning honors for our town,
provided they can secure employ
ment. Grangeville should not
take a back seat on baseball for
any town in the northwest; but
movements will have to be prompt
to hold together the present
bunch for they are having calls
from other points. What's the
matter with the old-time boosters
and fans?

on the prairie, bound for the Pa
cific Northwest Livestock show
at Portland, which begins on the
18th at the Union stockyards in
that city. Mr.. Cowgirl had fif-
ty of his superior Poland China
breed of bacon makers, and if
they do not win first prize In
the contest which will be waged,
the knowing ones here will be
greatly fooled. Edd Knorr, who
won out on hogs at the Fat
Show contest at Lewiston last
year, had also assembled some
of the best the country afford
ed and will no doubt get in
side the money.
Sunday morning between TWEEN

AT the big banquet in Portland,
