Election Of Senators

The short conference between Sen
ator La Toilette and Mr.. Bryan on
the prospects In Congress of the
bill providing for the election OF
United States senators by direct vote
of the people calls attention to the
present precarlous state of that legisla
ton. The measure Is still in the
hands of a conference committee OF
the two houses. and the committee
cannot agree today any more than IL
could five or six months ago. The
point OF disagreement is over the
question of federal power to regulate
senatorial elections, the senator's
from the South being opposed to fed
eral control OF any sort. Yet the
constitution has always reserved
such power TO Congress and to take
that power away by a new constitu-
tlonal amendment would be entirely
unjustinable. Election OF senator's
by direct popular vote has been a dem
ocratic idea for years, but the demo
cratic senators are responsible for
the failure TO send the proposed
in proper form TO the
state Legislatures for acceptance

Congregational Church of that city,
headed by DR.. Fox, the pastor, wait

persuade him to finish his fight on

was impressed by what was said. but
not sufficiently so to lead him to

of course, to have the final trip on
Sunday.
This statement of Mr.. Rodgers has
