APPROVE NEW AMENDM DMENT
Thirty-six States lndorse Direct Elec-
ton of United States Senators.


Direct election of United States SEN
ators by the people was made compul-
sorry when the Connecticut legislature
ratified the constitutional amendment
submitted by congress less than a
year ago. Ratification already had
been given by thirty-five states. Penn
sylvania was the thirty-fourth, Tennes-
see the thirty-fifth.
When told of Connecticut's action
President Wilson said: 81 am sincerely
glad that the amendment has been
ratified so promptly and a reform so
long fought for at last accomplished.
While the proclamation of Secretary
Of State Bryan announcing final rati-
fication of the amendment is required
by law, Senators Bristow and Borah,
leaders in the direct elections fight in
congress, expressed the opinion that
the amendment is, for all practical
purposes, now a part of the constitu-
ton. 49,
ANY man who may be elected to the
senate hereafter must be elected d.
rectly," said Senator Borah.

In the course OF an exhaustive re-

crabs had recently cast their shells,
and new ones were then in process

Rewards were paid to fishermen
upon returning the crabs when recap
