Fear Maryland Precedent.

Although there IS no disposition shown
on either side OF the chamber to dispute
the genuneness of the election by which
Blair Lee was chosen to succeed Senator
Jackson in hlling out the unexpired term
Of the late Senator Rayner. the validity
Of the election will be matter for dis
pute in the committee. Some members
hold that il would be dangerous TO set the
preC edent that the Governor Of the state
shall have full authority to issue the writ
OF election. They contend that tho Gov
ernor is without power under the consti-
tutional amendment TO call for an cleo
ton, and that the words Issue the writ
mean merely tine formal notice Of the
holding Of an election
The Governor Of Maryland. it is assert
ed, had no authority 10 call for an cleo
tion. This is ore Of the questions that
will be covered by the proposed legisla-
tion. There is no disposition to contest
the Lee case on its merits. and IT is pos
sible that some way will be found TO seat
Mr.. Lee without setting a dangerous
precedent

Committee Preparing Bill for
Uniform Rules for Express
ing Popular Choice.
TO PREVENT ALL DISPUTES
Measure Will Follow Lines
Suggested by The Tribune
and Put an End to Pres
ent Entanglements.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. Nov. l6-The Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections is pre-
pairing to iron out the difficulties that
have been encountered In the application
Of the constitutional amendment provid-
ing for the election of Senators by direct
popular vote. A bill, following the lines
suggested by The Tribune. is being draft
ed by a subcommittee and will be pre-
sented TO the Senate at the coming regu-
lar session. It's enactment will put an
end to such entangements as have arisen
over the Alabama and Maryland cases
The subcommittee takes the view mat
Congress has authority to regulate the
time. manner and places of holding Sena-
torial elections, exercising a supervisory
power similar to that it holds In the cleo
ton of Representatives. The fact that II
does possess this authority Is due to the
Brstow amendment. over when theTe
was a determined fight when the consu-
tutional amendment was under consldera-
ton In Congress. I'm the form In when
the popular elections amendment was nrst
proposed and passed by the House 1t de-
prived Congress of all authority to su-
pervise the election of Senators. the
Bristow amendment. which was first Of
fered by Senator Sutherland, retaining In
Congress this supervisory authority. was
carried by a narrow margin, in face OF
the bitter opposition of the Democrats
New-York tribune., 1913-11-17
Disputes Already Arisen.

Although the constitutional amendment
has been ratified less than year. the
wisdom Of the Bristow amendment mas
already been justified, according to those
who supported II. Because of II, con-
sress can enact legislation governing the
election of Senators, and VIII be aDie l"
forestal further such disputes as nave
arisen over Governor ONeal's appoint
ment Of Representative Clayton, of Ala
bama, to succeed the late Senator Johh-
ston. and the election Of Blair Lee 10
succeed Senator Jackson, in Maryland IN
pursuance of a writ issued by the Gov
ernor.
The proposed legislation will provide
uniform rules for the elections or sena-
tors. The subcommittee has not yet de-
cided whether elections shall be held In
the manner provided by the various states
for the election Of a Governor or for the
election Of general officers. General OF
fcers are not always elected In the same
manner H. the states. Some are appointed
by the Governor and others are chosen
bv the Legislature. The Governor IN
every case is elected by popular vote.
The question OF the applicability OF the
election amendment TO the terms OF Sena-
tors beginning before its ratification can
not be settled by Congress. The Const-
tuition governs and its Interpretation Is
matter for the courts. The general opin-
ion among the members Of the Privileges
and Election Committee Is that the
amendment does nct apply to the term IT.
self, but to the Senators whose terms
began lefore its adoption. and the proviso
was inserted as a prccaution to secure to
Senators the title they held TO their seats

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Irregular and Trading
Dull, with Few Features.

No consolation was offered to the
waiting bulls by the action of the stock
market yesterday. Some firmness was
exhibited. but the elements of weak
ness were sufficiently emphasized to
discredit predictions Of higher prices,
based on the outlook and such resist
ance as was given to bearish opera
tons. Possibly il may be that favor
able view might be taken from the
small volume of trading and the linn
tied character Of the market, but the
tension i'm money matters which at
the present time restricts railroad
financing beyond the expensive short
term notes is not conducive TO stock
market cheerfulness.
one of the issues which were selected
for pressure yesterday was Rock
Island and both the preferred and
common stocks showed the effect of the
days operations at the close by exT
hibiting declines Of more than l point
in the common and oter > points in the
preferred. The selling of Rock Island
collateral trust is was also a feature
OF the transactions which called for
unfavorable comment Weakness in
Canadian Pacific, although the selling
was not as heavy as in some other
issues. did not tend 10 stimulate hope
full sentiment, and there were only
few who ventured TO make commit
ments on the buying side There was
no interest in price movements other
than was necessary by the professional
operators in their endeavOrs to make
weekend balance and keep their OPP
erations within a safe range in case Of
sudden changes.
The action of the foreign stock mar
kets did not supply any fresh evil
dences Of betterment-in fact, there
was considerable irregularity abroad
and liquidation was said to be in prog
ress anticipating the new Chinese loan
offering, which will be made next
Wednesday. The weekly trade reviews
covering conditions in the United
States were shade less optimistic
than in previous weeks. and the poliu-
cal situation was still befogged with
uncertainty, especially the California
japanese discussion and other matters
having an indirect effect on the stock
market With the exception Of few
issues that were selected for the mild
bear attack yesterdays prices in the
main appeared TO present firm tone,
but whether this resulted from indif-
ference to the market or indicated a
thoroughly sold-out condition Of stocks
is a question which will be answered
later-possibly this coming week.
