LONG BATTLE ENDED
DIRECT ELECTION OF u. s. SEN
AToRs RATIFIED BY So STATES.
No further Legislation Now Needed
to Adopt Seventeenth Amendment
to Constitution.

Washington, April 10.-By Connec-
ticut's ratification of the amendment
to that effect, Tuesday. direct election
of United States senator's became one
of the provisions Of the Constitution.
Thirty-six states, the requisite three
fourths Of all in the Union, have ap-
proved the change. 1t remains Only
for the governors OF all states which
have acted favorably to formally noti-
fy Secretary Bryan and for him to is
sue proclamation announcing the
change. The amendment to the Con-
stitution Is the second within the last
few months. The vote Of the Connec-
ticut senate was unanimous; that of
the house $50 to u.
The amendment primarily trans
fers the power of electing senators
from the legislatures to the people at
the polls. To effect this change it was
necessary to alter the machinery for
the filling of vacancies in the senate.
For more than sixty years proposals
had been made to change the Constitu.
tion so as to provide for the direct
election of senators. 1t was not, how.
ever, until June "a, 1911, that the
senate was induced for the first time
in it's history to give It's consent to the
change.
No legislation by congress will be
necessary to put the change into eff
feet It will be incumbent upon the
various states to see that proper pro
vision is made by the names of sen
ators going on the regular ballots.
The first senators to be elected BY
the new method will be those who
take their seats for the term begin
ming March 4, 1915.
