OF course, that he is shifting RESPONSE
bility to Underwood and the other
party leaders. The plan also makes
II plain that the ''election" of com.

companied as they have been by the
drone of the clerks voice, and empty
eats and Mr.. Wilson's desire that
every member should hear his appeal
for q thorough revision of the tariff,

was called In extraordinar AIRY session.

feet important Change.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Direct cleo.
ton of United States sen ators became
one of the provisions of the constl.
ton today by Conneticut's ratification
OF the amendment to that effect.
Thirty six states, the requisite three
fourths have approved the change. 1t
remains only for the governors of all
states which have acted favorably to
formally notify Secretary Bryan,
and for him to Issue q prOclama alton

ment to the constitution is the second
within the last few months.
One OF the speeches made in the
zen ate during the twenty year crusade
for the change in favor of the direct
election was by Senator Turpie, OF Ia.
diana. In that speech he declared
that the election OF senator's by legis-
latures was the one blemish on the
democracy which was embodied in the
American government.
No legislation by congress will be
necessary to put the change into eff
feet. 1t will be incumbent upon the
various states to zee TO it that proper
provision ia made by the names of
senators going on the regular ballots.
Should any state fail to do 80, it has
been suggested that congress might
exercise its power of supervising tina,
states voting regulations so as to re.
quire the name to be placed on the
