Report.
GOES TO STATES NOW
Ratification by 36 Common
WeaIths Will Put Reform
Into Effect.

Washington, May 1.-THE fight
for direct election of United States
senators is won. The climax of
nearly a century of effort for the pop

4:40 yesterday afternoon, when the
house of representatives, by vote of
237 to 80, receded from its disagree
ment with the senate and adopted
the Bristow amendment to the pro-
posed constitutional amendment.
GOES TO STATES.
Without any further formality the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton now goes to the several states
for ratification or rejection by leg
islatures thereof. There are now As
states in the union, and the legislat-
ures of three-fourths of them, or SO
must ratify the amendment in order
to make it a part of the organic law
of the land. No doubt whatever ex
lists as to the affirmative action on the
part of the requisite number OF
states; and if students of the situa
tion are not greatly mistaken the leg
islatures that meet next winter viii
put the finishing touch on what many
declare to be the greatest govern
mental reform since the adoption O.
the ten original amendments to the
constitution.
HAVE MADE DEMAND.
BY repeated memorials PRACTICAL!
every legislature in the country ha
voiced it's demand for reform and onl.
congress has hesitated to fulfill tn,
sentiment of the people. So the con
summation of the whole idea SEEM

Der five minutes after 10 this morning
when President Oglesby announced
that no quorum was present and no
business could be transacted. re-
cess was taken to this afternoon.

The vote in the senate on the bill is
certain to be close, with chances
against a constitutional majority for
the measure. This is almost Ger.
tainty. The insurgents are endeavor-
| ing, through Senator Daily of Peoria.

COME FROM AFFAIR.
CBy Associated Press)
Springfield, ILL.,, May 14.-Absence Of
a quorum in both the house and senate
today proved a great disappointment
to 500 Woodmen, who came from all
parts of Illinois to take a hand in the
insurance rate war which has found
its way to the legislature through the
Donahue bill Both houses adjourned
until morning
The warning Woodmen factions are
talking compromise today, the leaders
of both sides being in conference with
several senator's. The plan under con-
sideration provides direct referen-
dun vote on the question of changing
the present rates or leaving them as
they are at this time
MOVED By ADVERSE ACTION.
Prior to and following the passage
of the Donahue bill by the house, in
surgent Woodmen refused to permit a
referendum to be attached to the bill
as a compromise measure. The action
Of the senate committee in reporting
the Donahue bill unfavorably appar-
emily has had an effect upon the in
surgents. If the compromise plan ma
lures, the rate war will be decided by
a direct vote of Woodmen, the require.
ment being that a majority of the to-
tai membership of the order must vote
on the rates one way or the other in
order to decide the war.
