five more than the required two
thirds. The House had passed a resolution
which made It clear the federal gov
ernment was not to Interfere with
senatorial elections lu tho states.
Kor weeks the measure wns lu con

terees receded nnd the House agreed
to the Senate measure by u vote of
2:17 to 30.
Previous to this time, the several
Btntos had taken the bit lu their
teeth by enacting Inws which In ef
fect did not- wait for a constitutional
amendment on the subject. Prob
ably the most successful of these

Inr election, when the pint-lug of the
name of a candidate for United
Stntes Senator upon tho tickets was
authorized.
Tho control of legislatures by
great corporations was assigned by
Senator llrlstow as one of the main
reasons for the demanded change.

terposed fenture was to mucin! oth
er provisions of the Constitution so
ns to deprive tho federal government
of power to supervise the stnte reg
ulations as to the time nnd inunuor
of election. The votes of southern
Senators tlireaieiied to defeat the
11111I11 proposition If the federal gov
ernment was given this power. Son
ntor Hoot made a speech. In which
he criticised the method employed by
southern stutes In depriving negroes
of the right of suffrage. Senator
lliicon replied that the federal gov
eminent was lining given the power
once more to enact "force bills" and
semi armies and marshals into south
ern stntes to Intimidate voters. On
February 28, Just before the end of
the session, the resolution wns de
feated by four votes.
Senator llrlstow reintroduced tho
resolution lu the special session Im
mediately following. The fight of
the preceding session was refought.
