This bill has been confused to some

There Is nothing In the bill which re

ELECT
ION OF SENATORS
POPULAR VOTE DEFEATED
Roll Call Resulted 54 to 33 in Favor of Amend
ment to Constitution but a Two-Thirds
Poll Was Necessary.
Washington, Feb. i!S. The Senate to
day defeated the resolution proposing an
amendment to tin- constitution ns to
provide thnt senators be elected bv direct

been mule by tin. supporters ot the
nieasuie. ns Mas Indicated by the vote.
Fifty-four senators stood for the resolu
tion and against It. Though this
division showed so large a majority of
the Senate to favor popular elections, the
number was not sufficient by four to
cnrr the menuuiu, which requited a twu
thlnls ote.
Immi dlately after the reading of the
Journal the popular election resolution
was l-iken up under unanimous consent,
granted last week.
Though it had been uiidcrstou 1 thai de
Late would be shut otf mi the mciMire
when called up, Senator Bacon, who de
terminedly has opposed the resolution as
altered under the Sutherland amendment
placing control of the elections In tho
hands of Congress, hoped to have an
amendment adopted that might tender the
measure acceptable to some of the south
ern senators. The Georgia senator's ef
fort was to provide that the federal su
pervision of the eloetlons should apply
only in those Status wherein tho legis
latures had failed to desgnate the mau
ler of holding the elections.
