The futility of their efforts is indeed q striking commentary upon your 5teadfastness and integrity, but does not lessen your duty to properly safeguard the public

 Within fortnight the congress of the United States has approved an amendment to the constitution provid- ing for the direct election of sena tors. This great step forward in the rule of the people awaits only tine ratification by the people, through their legislative representatives.
