BALDWIN URGES
ELECTION CHANGE
GOVERNOR WOULD RATIFY CON
STITUTION TO SETTLE COM
MON SENSE QUESTION
OLD IDEA BEST, HE
SAYS

Canaan, Jan. 17.-Speaking before
the annual dinner of the Canaan Bust
ness Mems association, last night, Gov.
Simeon E. Baldwin strongly urged the
election of United States senators by
the people. He also spoke at some
length in a plea for the election of
state senators according to the plan
recommended by him in his recent
message to the legislature.
''They lay one rather heavy task on
every governor" said Governor Bald
win. He has to tell the general as
sembIy on the day they meet what he
thinks it is most important for them
to do. As they come in pretty close
to the first week in January, and
many of the reports of state officers
and boards are not due until January
1. and often are delayed, in fact, until
some weeks later, he generally has to
take a good deal on faith had bet
had learned something by having
been in two years already, and had
the opportunity to get in touch with
those in charge of most If not all Of
our state interests.
Ct believe I am the only, governor
for thirty years who has been able to
send in an inaugural message dealing
with matters Ofshis previous personal
knowledge and experience in office.
There ought to be som ething in 1t,
therefore, which is worth serious at
tention. venture to say that there
are not many here who found time to
read it through, and those who have
will pardon me I hope for re-empha
sizing many things that I put into it. .
AS to the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people
Governor Baldwin said: rs there any
reason why the constitution should
not be promptly ratified? 1t is not in
any true sense party question,
though it was endorsed by two of the
three large parties. 1t is a common
sense question and as such it ought
to be dealt with. and I believe will
be.
And one thing of hardly less i'm
portance to US in Connecticut is the
election of our own senators. Here
again is no party question. My mes
sage recommends a return to plan
which we followed for nearly 200
years and then unwise1y abandoned
for another.
From 1929 to 1928 the people of
the whole state chose senators on a
general ticket, all the electors voting
for senators just they did for gov
ernor. That mode gave US better men
than the district plan. It also gave
the people as a whole, the control of
one house, while the towns, as such,
had control of the other.
NOW, 1 say, let US go back to the
old plan, providing for fair represen-
tatfon for ninorities''
