The people's vote ln June, how?
ever, -will be simply an expression
of their choice for . senator. The
actual election of senator will take
place ln the legislature when it con

in advance by eome definite promise
to observe the will of the people, as
expressed In the June election, the
legislators would be free to utterly
disregard that will and to elect as
United States senator any man whom
theiy might select, or who might be
selected for them by the machine or.
