BRYAN SIGNS
nth AMENDMENT
Secretary Makes Direct EIec-
tion of Sena rs Effective.
WORKED YEARS FOR REFORM
Four Pens Used To Append sigma
ture and Date OF Approval
Given To Co-Laborers
In Campaign.

Washington. ~ Secretary of State
William J. Bryan was the central figure
in an historic scene Saturday. when
he signed the proclamation making ef-
:ectiye the Seventeenth Amendment TO
the Constitution. an amendment which
provides that United States Senators
shall be elected by direct vote of the
people.
From this day on the States must
follow the new constitutional mandate
in selecting their Senators or else go
unrepresented in the upper branch Of
Congress. No Senator now holding a
seat in that body however, is affected
during his current term of office.
The ceremony was simple, though
necessarily formal. 1t took place in
the big reception room of the Secre-
tary's suite of offices. Surrounding
Mr.. Bryan we're a number of states
men who had played part in the long
fight for this reform, department heads
and perhaps twoscore of CORE
spOndents.
Mrs. 6ryan There Too.
Seated at the Secretary's left was
Mrs. Bryan. She rejoiced in no less
degree than the Secretary himself in
the last act of the great battle which
her husband had led for 20 years. She,
as did all the other witnesses to the
signing Of the proclamation, realized
the appropriateness OF Mr. Bryan, the
Secretary, putting into effect a reform
which Mr.. Bryan, the citizen, had
urged so long before the country.
Used Four Pens In Signing.
Mr.. Bryan provided himself with
four pens for the occasion. The first
was used to sign the word William
and then given TO Mr.. Tucker as a
souvenir. With the second the Secre-
tary signed the word Jennings" then
handing the pen TO Representative
Rucker The third was used in writ
ing the word Bryan and this the
Secretary kept himself. The date OF
the proclamation was written with the
fourth pen, which Senator Borah re-
ceived as a memento.
AS soon as the signature had been
affixed Mr.. Bryan expressed gratifca-
tion over the fact that the duty OF
officially announcing the ratification OF
the Seventeenth Amendment had fal.
len to him as Secretary of State, He
remarked that the short time required
for the States to act proved that the
sentiment in favor of the reform was
practically unanimous throughout the
country
