New Yorker Declares Title of Propo
sition Is Deceptive and That
-Its Purpose Is t Tie Hands ''
of Voters in General.
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,"
