ELECTION OF SENATORS
The resolutions adopted by the Des
lupines, la., senatorial election confer
ence, after stating that there exists
and has long existed a popular demand
for J.he election of United States sen
ators by direct vojtc.of the people and
that it has been impossible to secure
the necessary action by congress sub
mitting' to the several states an amend
ment to that effect because of the re
fusal of the senate tot take the neces
sary action, declare:
'"Be it therefore resolved: That,
while this convention would much
prefer that congress should submit
to the several states a proposed
amendment to the constitution for
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people, so that the states might
pass upon it as a single question, yet,
inasmuch as the senate persistently
refuses-to submit such amendment, it
therefore earnestly recommends that
the legislatures of the several states
do, in pursuance of article 4, of the
constitution of the United States, make
application to the congress to call a
convention for the purpose of propos
ing amendments to the constitution of
the United States."
