Brlstow Resolution Preferred. When the Senate gets ready to vote on the popular elections resolution. It Is quite likely tbat It will adopt the brlstow substitute for the House reeo lutlon. which la now unJer consider ation. A great many Senators are op posed to the phraseology of the House resolution because It waives the power of Congress to control the election of Senators The Brlstow resolution gives to CongTess the same authority It now has over te election of members of the House of Representatives. It pro vides, in lieu of the present clause of the Constitution, the following: -The Penate ' the United Mtates shall be composed of two Senators from each state, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one -vote. The electors In each slate shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most nu merous branch of the Stale Legisla tures. " ben Vacancies happen In the rep resentation of any state In the Senate, the executive authority of such state shall issue wrlta of election to fill such vacancies: provided, that the Legisla ture of any state mly empower the ex ecutive thereof to make temporary ap pointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the Legislature may direct." The Brlstow substitute Is not to be construed to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before It be comes valid as a part of the Consti tution. Leaders Forget to Count Noc. When the United States Senate pro ceeds to the election of president pro tern." It strongly resembles a btate Legislature voting for United States Senator when a deadlock Is on. And it Is the only time In recent years that the tfenate has so performed. Prob- bly there would have been no futile votes for Galllnger. of New Hampshire. If the present leaders bad taken the precaution to count noses "before at tempting to name the Mew Hampshire man as successor to Krye, of Maine; certainly no such ridiculous perform ance would have been pulled off had the adroit Aldrich been at the helm, directing affairs for the Republican majority. But the men who succeeded Aldrich are not as adroit or as clever; they did not stop to reckon, but as sumed that the caucus choice would be ratified, even after notice had been served on them that Galllnger could not be elected. And so It happened that Cullom, of Illinois, who Is too old to rope with the younger and more active Insur gents, deliberately brought up this bothersome question, only to find out that six Insurgents had lined up against Jalllnger and had It In their power to prevent his election. Time and again, after the deadlock was disclosed, the Senate balloted on the election of a President pro tern., and each time the result was the same. And It will con tinue to be the same until Galllnger is eliminated or eliminates himself. ' Sen ators who had served In their State Legislatures before coming to Wash ington were aomewbat amused at. the way the election turned out In the Senate; the scene reminded them of the good old deadlock days at home. And so It Impressed the visitors In the gal lery. Pension BUI Scares Democrats. The Democrats of the House of Rep resentatives are scared white over the "dollar-a-day" pension bill Introduced by one of their own members, Ander son of Ohio. The bill In Itself la not dangerous, but Anderson has taken ad vantage of one of the recent changes In the House rules a change advocat ed by the Insurgent Republicans as well as the Democrats and now has hta bill In a position where he Is likely sooner or later to force a vote. I'nder the new rules, the House has what ss known aa a discharge calendar, and when a member Introduces a bill and cannot get it reported by the commit tee having It In charge, he need only file a motion to discharge the commit tee and bring the bill before the House for consideration, and on the first and third Mondays of every month the House must dispose of these discharge motions. Anderson, after Introducing hie big pension bill, estimated to Increase the pension appropriations about 145.000. 000 annually, found that the pension committee waa hostile and tinder orders from the Democratic leaders to "can" the dollar-a-riay bill. So he offers hie resolution to discharge the committee. if the House meets on the first and third Monday of any month It muat coneider this motion, as it Is the first on the discbarge oalendar. Thus far the house has managed to adjourn over the first and- third Mondays, ana hhS thus escaped considering the Anderson resolution, but the time will come when the House will sit on the first or third Monday, and when that time cornea Anderson will force the House to go on record. Many Northern Democrats are afraid to vote agalnat this bill, and the lemocratlc leaders want It killed for bile tbey are demanding economy they hate to see a bill passed Increas ing the cost of government 115.000.000 year. Hence their embarrassment. The dollar-a-day bill may fall, but the fact that the Democratic leaders are so terr'bly afraid of It would Indicate that It has a fair chance of naaslnar If It can be brought to vote.
