Address Dr. G. M. Brsuiaman, ISO Kaat IStli Street, Kansas City Mo ELECTION OF SENATORS BY THE PEOPLE (Continued from Page 11) Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ken tucky, Oregon, Illinois, Wisconsin, Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, New Jersey, Montana, Kansas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Michigan, Nevada and California) have broken at least the spirit if not the letter of the consti tution by electing their senators by popular ballot in some form or other? The oft repeated will of tho sen ate to abide by tho old mode of choosing senators has caused these states to pass measures by which they may have their wishes granted and still remain within tho constitu tional limitations. As many differ ent modes are found in as'many dif ferent states, but after a careful ex amination of a number of them it seems that the state of Oregon has, in what is known as the Oregon plan ono of tho best and most incorrup tible statutes of its kind over enact ed. Only that part which relates to tho election of Uriited Stated sena tors concerns us here and I shall Btate it briefly. When a candidate seeks a seat in the legislature, among other things, he must place in his platform tho promise to the people of Oregon as well as to tho people of his own legislative district, that during his term of office ho will always vote for that candidate for United States sen ator in congress who has received the highest number of the people's votes for that position at the general election next preceding the election of a senator in congress without re gard to his individual preference, or else he must state that he will con sider the people's vote in the pri maries only as a recommendation which he shall be wholly at liberty to disregard if tho Reason for doing so seems to him sufficient. You can Teadily see that tho can didate on the first, platform has a far better chance of being elected than the ono on the second platform, all other things being equal. The validity of this law was re cently tested for the first time. At the primaries victory justly went to Governor Goorgo E. Chamberlain, a democrat, a man of remarkable abil ity; a man who has done more for Oregon than any one before him, and tho questions upon which ono can pass iuch sweeping ju'dgmont are raTo Indeed and w have not attempt ed to do it hero. Whilo wo recognize that this is somewhat of a debatable question and that thoro aro arguments on either side it seems to us that wo have conclusively proven our propo sition and by successfully answoring tho main argument of our opponents, that our plan was rojectod in tho constitutional convention and that it contravenes tho cardinal tenets of tho fathers, we have taken from them the very backbone of their support by submitting as Irrebuttable evi dence tho very minutes of tho con vention of 1787. Never before has tho opinion been so widespread that the senate Is sad ly in need of repair; that tho repair ing will never be done by the scnato Itself is a foregone conclusion; but it can only bo accomplished by the concerted action of tho people. Any man who seeks a senatorship by honorable means, and for patri otic purposes; every man who be lieves in a republican form of gov ernment, of tho people, by tho peo ple, and for tho people; every man who has confldenco in tho sound Judgment of the American people; every man who believes in preserv ing tho sovereignty In tho hands of tho citizens will favor this amend ment, for it should bo tho aim of every good citizen to bring our gov ernment closer to tho people, and no more feasible and sensible method has been proposed than this change in tho election of United States senators. Tho voice of the people is tho volco of God. Respectfully submitted, UJAKLi JOHN MOHN, '10. Washington, D.

Governor Chamberlain was elected at the polls and as usual a republican legislature was chosen. Now here was an odd state of af fairs a legislature pledged to elect a man not of its own party. But true to their pledge and their man hood they did exactly that thing and Mr. Chamberlain came to Washington to take the oath of office. Here a number of other senators had tried to set up constitutional objections to his being seated, but they had abso lutely no case and were utterly help less; and as a result the Hon. George B. Chamberlain sits in the united grand opera' singers. To those who have attended the state fair tho past two years that is announcement enough."
