Experience and the u. S. Senate

An able lawyer. a devoted
servant Of the public in city
or county or State affairs
who has q good mind. but does
not happen to possess q
magnetic voice or television
personality, is not likely to
seek office by means Of two
Statewide contests against
opponents who might merely
be better Showmen or more
clever debaters on television.
The founding fathers felt
that Senators should be
elected by legislatures for six
years so as to give them less
cause for concern about the
transient moods Of the elec-
torate. But nowadays the
necessities Of q primary CAM
paign and q final election
contest induce many a Sem
ator to spend q good deal
Of time every year in his
home State filling speaking
engagements and putting
in appearances at various
functions. All this takes him
away from important duties
in Washington. The method
Of electing Senators by pop
ular vote Is. of course, the
basic reason for the constant
campaigning which so many
Senator'S are obliged to do,
for back home there is al
ways the threat of two or
three potential opponents
who have plenty of time to
make the rounds and drum
UP political support for the
next election.
Under the previous sys-
TEN, politics played q part,
but members of a State leg
islature who picked q man
not really qualified for the
office we're likely to find
themselves in difficulties in
their own election districts.
Selecting q Senator used to
be q major responsibility. Of
the party in power at the
State house, and men Of un-
questioned ability generally
were chosen.
At least in the old days
they wouldn't have selected
a youngster with q relative
among the politically power
ful-they would have picked
a man who had already
served in the State legisla-
ture or the House Of Repre-
Sentatives and who had dis
tinguished himself In the eyes
Of the citizens Of the State.
Massachusetts,, too, once had
great Senator'S selected by
that system.

Direct Election System Is Criticized
As Selecting UnproYen Condidotes

ton Of Senators by popular
vote.
Public opinion inevitably
would have corrected the
abuses that arose. Laws
could have been enacted to
prevent the buying Of votes
in State legislatures by means
Of patronage and other de-
vices. For the system Of
selecting Senators by vote of
the State legislatures was not
itself at fault.
Direct election today means
a costly and difficult kind Of
campaign for q would-be
candidate-usually q primary
and q general election. On.
less someone can gain pop
ularity by athletic promi-
nence or by Grooming or by .
family relationship to some
one in the public eye, the
chances Of winning a nomi-
nation or an election are
not very good nowadays.
Some Of the States have
by law provided Q State
convention system for nomi-
mating purposes. as against
q primary-election system.
But the fact remains that,
when q candidate for the
Senate has to 60 before all
the voters Of q state, he
tends to move toward dema-
goguery and the kind Of
political maneuvering that
will get votes for him from
one populous section as
against another with less
voters. The idea of deciding
public questions on the basis
Of what is good for the State
as a whole has been super
seded by consideration Of
what Is likely to prove popu-
lar in the cities versus the
country districts, or vice
versa.
Whatever the faults Of the
system that enabled State
legislatures to elect United
States Senators, they were
never as damaging to the
public interest as is the
method Of direct election. If
the State legislatures were
once more to have power to
elect their Senators, there
would be many persons aspir-
ing TO the office who would
never care to engage in the
sort Of political campaign
ing which now Is in vogue.

Arguments to the contrary

again we have q human situ-

say, with truth. that the

than genuine bargaining. To-

Everyone has seen 1t coming.
Yet rare was the man in
management or the unions
who tried to inject reality

big industries which are so
vital to the national need.
The Congress has been
equally blind
The odds are we-as q
Nation-will learn the new

The national need and the

It's an III wind that blows
no good. and maybe the Ma
tion-wide attention which
the oddities Of the senatorial
campaign IN Massachusetts,
have attracted will cause the
American people to begin
thinking about some system
other than direct election for
choosing United States SEN
ators.
For, while Edward M. Ken
nedy, who is 80 years old,
and Edward j. Mccormack,
jr, who is 80 years old, are
both promising young men, it
seems strange that the citi-
zens Of Massachusetts, who
happen to belong to the Dem
ocratic Party are not able to
select for their nominee
someone who has the matur-
ity and experience and
Judgment needed for service
in the United States Senate.
The idea that youth and
ambition aren't necessarily
the main qualifications for
high office isn't, of course,
original. Former President
Truman raised his voice In
vain in behalf Of maturity
and experience when he
urged John r. Kennedy in
the summer Of 1860 to step
aside for q while and let an
older man have the DEM
ocratic nomination for the
presidency. But JFK. at least,
was IS years old at the time.
The authors Of the Consti-
tuition felt the United States
Senate should have a high
caliber Of public servant,
with two Senator'S to repre-
sent each sovereign State. It
was specified, therefore, that
Senators should be chosen by
the majority vote Of State
legislatures. For many dec
