Some states select their senators
by primary vote and some leave tho
job 20 the corporations. American
corporations have now grown so
large that number of them have
to have individual senator's. though
II is also possible for several smaller
corporations to club together and get
q senator which they can use turn
about Some corporations are so
tight with their senators that they
win not allow the people to use them
AZ all.
The Senate is n solemn delibera-
tive body and is beautiful to watch.
Senators are very courteous to each
other except TO those senators who
talk their way into the body Talk
is cheap and there Is nothing cheap
about the Senate Take II all around
the Job is NOT what it once was. A
plug nat and a pocket full of checks
do not always cinch the election any
more. A candidate has to show req.
sons why he should get in and then
has to turn right around and show
reasons why he shouldn't get out.
Between these two a senator some
times only has chance to feel proud
and lofty for about one week out OF
the hfty-two.

work Is terribly hard on the care,
Senator's are elected by lcRiala-

two senators from each state, but
this has always been considered a
great plenty Il takes some legii-
latures SO long TO elect two senators
every six years that they have had
no time left in which to consider the
child labor question and the uni

A senator Is supposed TO act AZ
regulator for the House Of Repre-
