WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. Opposition to the resolution now pending in the Senate, calling for the popular eleotion of Its members, waa voiced today by Senator Depew of New York. While opposing the proposition, he otTere'd an amendment which would entitle all of the male citizens of the United States to cast their ballots .in such elections. To the New York Senator, the pro posed amendment, aa reported from the Judiciary committee, seemed but an ef fort to permit the states, to disfran chise large classes of their electors. "Instead of providing that Senators shall be elected by the people of the several states," said the Senator, "It virtually gives the people the right to elect Senators by Impairing the four teenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, which were intended to secure the elective franchise to all cit izens of the United States. Title Deceives Purpose. The title of this proposition Is to al low the people to vote. The purpose and object of the resolution is practi cally to prevent the people from voting In any state where a dominant power, or oligarchy, wishes to disfranchise a certain portion of the citizens of that state." Mr. Depew endeavored to show sev eral objections which would arise In putting the proposition into practical effect. He dwelt upon the advantage claimed to He in the experience that a Senator gains through long retention of his seat. He could foresee naught save a rapid succession In office of men who would float In upon the tide of pop ular favor and out again as that tide might ebb. The sway of the demagogic orator would hold a menace In the mind of Mr. Denew. should the system prevail. He recited the several appeals or Issues that have prevailed in the last forty years of more, to show that the pas sions of the houses should not crystal lise Into legislation without time for deliberation. Popular Response Absent. "Parties are always seeking para mount Issues. The great leader of the Democratic, party made this question of changing the method of the election of United States Senators, as he thought, the paramount issue. It failed to ma terialize, as he claimed it would, be cause there waa no popular response, and there Is none today. "Most of the so-called radical legis lation of the last ten years has been really conservative. In this proposition we are to disregard past lessons and to enter upon an untried experi ment, to adopt a theory which opens the doors for innumerable possibilities, nf iianrer to the sovereignty of the states and wise conservatism In the ad ministration of the government," T.Y P EW OUmEARS All OTHERS, a fact universally admitted, is proof conclusive of its superior merit, for WEAR is the quaiity which defer- mines WORTH, Absolutely satisfactory service is guaranteed to every purchaser of the Remington Remington Typewriter.
