Resolution Provides For Direct Etec-

by the People.
Washington, Dec. 6.-Melnbers of
the new Progressive bloc in congress
got ilto action, but at the very outset
ran into White House opposition.
Led by Senator Norris, Republican,
Nebraska, bloc members sitting on the
SENATE agricultural committee obtain

providing for abolition If the electoral
college and for direct election of presi-

ton of the long period Of time usually
elapSing between congressional cleo
ton and the regular meeting Of the
new congress. Such an amendment
forms one of the planks in the plat
form adopted by the bloc at its organi-
Zation meeting las1 week.
Opposition on the part of President
Harding to any such change in the.
constitution was expressed by a White
House spokesman soon after the seu-
ate agriculture committee resolution
was laid before the senate and assign.
ed to place on the. calendar Of bust
ness. Some administration leaders in
the senate likewise voiced their dis
approval Of the amendment. and it
appeared that any efforts by the bloc
to press the proposal might bring on
a fight which would test the power of
the Progressive faction.
The proposed amendment would pro.
vide specifically that The choice of

community, for without the backbone of

In one sense, Hancock was right in declaring that
the tariff is local ISSUE. 1t is local in the sense
that the Congressman whose district has products
that need protection will vote for protection on
such products, even II he votes for free trade on
everything else. But fundamentally the statement
is not true. Whether the United States should or
should not maintain protective tariff is national
ISSUE for the welfare of the country as whole is
affected by the decision Of that question. II the
factories are closed because OF heavy importatons
the agricultural producers win have no profitable
market for their commodities. On the other hand
II the agricultural producers are-not prosperous
the manufacturers will have poor market for their
output. To broad minded statesman hte tariff
