LONG BATTLE ENDED
DIRECT ELECTION OF U. S. SEN
ATORS RATIFIED BY 36 STATES.
No further Legislation Now Needed
to Adopt Seventeenth Amendment
to Constitution.
Washington, April 10. By Connec
ticut's ratification of the amendment
to that effect, Tuesday, direct election
of United States senators became one
of the provisiona of the Constitution.
Thirty-six states, the requisite three
fourths of all In the Union, have ap
proved the change. . It remains oly
for the governors of all states which
have acted favorably to formally noti
fy. Secretary Bryan and for him to Is
sue a proclamation announcing the
change. The amendment to the Con
stitution is the second within the last
few months. The vote of the Conned
ticut senate was unanimous; that of
the house 150 to 7J..
The amendment primarily trans
fers the power of electing senators
from the legislatures to the people at
the polls. To effect this change it was
necessary to alter the machinery for
the filling of vacancies in the senate.
For more than eixty years proposals
had been made to change the Constitu
tion so as to provide for the direct
election of senators. It was not, how
ever, until June 24, 1911, that the
senate was induced for the .first time
in its history to glre its consent to the
change. ,
No legislation by congress will be
necessary to put the change into effect.-
It will be incumbent upon the
various etates to see that proper pro
vision is made by the names of sen
ators going on the regular ballots.
The first senators to be elected by
the new method will be those who
take their seats for the term begin
ning March 4, 1915.
