that he wanted to go back to Congress
to fight for bill to have a govern
ment-owned radium institute so that
this mineral could be at the disposal
of the rich and poor alike.
Mr.. Bremner was warm personal
friend of President Wilson, who was kept
constantly advised of his condition, and
who frequently sent him messages of
sympathy and encouragement. accom-
panied with flowers. Mr.. Bremner's cleo
ton to Congress- was ACCOMPLISHED while
he lay in bed i'll. He did not make a
speech. The election is said to have been
a tribute to his pluck On the night be-
fore the election President Wilson, then
Governor of New Jersey, visited Pas
sale and made speech for Bremner.

WOULD GIVE PEOPLE RIGHT
TO FATHER AMENDMENTS
Constitutional Reforms Championed
by Cummins and Others
in Senate.

Maintaining that the Constitution
ought to be the direct declaration of the
people rather than the declaration of a
legislative body Senator Cummins of
Iowa and other members of the judiciary
committee submitted minority report
today urging adoption of constitutional
amendment which would make the Con-
stitution amendable without initiative ac-
ton by Congress.

Cummins, and reported adversely by the
judiciary majority, would provide that
state legislatures could initiate constitu-
tional changes which the President might
submit to the states for approval with
out reference to Congress. 1t would also
extend the right to primary voters to
petition state legislatures to amend the
Constitution.
