Crop of Candidates far the Offices Wltbla (he ;lft of the Legislature Which Assem bles la Jauaary. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Dec. 2. (Special) Till the delegates to the senatorial convention assemble next Wednesday It will be Im possible to tell whether the convention called by the last legislature for the pur pose of endeavoring to secure a consti tutional amendment providing for a direct vote of the people on United States sena tors Is to be a success or not. Tho con vention in any event, whether well at tended or otherwise, will be the biggest thing In Des Moines next week. The resolution passed by the legislature last winter authorizing the governor to call the convention waa drawn up by Senator Lewis, of Clarlnda, after he had advised with Governor Cummins and other poli ticians of the state who favor the elec tion of United States senators. It was at first Intended to call the convention for an earlier date than December 6, but be cause of other events It was found neces srry to postpone the mee ng till the latter date. Friends of the movement are waiting anxiously to see whether or not the convention will be a success. The resolution offered by Senator Lewis and calling for the convention authorities the Issuance of the call by the governor for a convention of five delegates from each state for the purpose of furthering the movement to secure a constitutional convention to propose nn amendment providing for direct vote on T'nlted States senators. During the past summer Senator Lewis spent some time In this city at the state library looking up the record, and prepared a pamphlet giv ing the record of the action of all the states of the union upon the question. It Is necessary for two-thirds of the states of the union to memorialize con gress to call a constitutional convention before it becomes Imperative upon con gress to Issue such a call. Senator Lewis found only twenty-four states that had passed the necessary resolution, though It has been claimed that there are one or two more. This pamphlet as jrepared by Senator Lewis will be ready for dis tribution to the delegntes when they as semble here next Wednesday and will probably be of some use to them In their deliberations. How long the convention will be In session no one knows as the convention, when once organized, will be a law unto Itself. Governor Cummins will call the convention to order and wel come the delegates and Inform them of the reasons for calling the convention and the convention will then organize accord ing to Its own wlshea. Plans are not yet perfected for the reception which Gov ernor Cummins will extend to the dele gates, but this will probably take place on Wednesday evening at the governor's offices In the state house, Aa Senator Lewis .discovered the states that have passed the resolution asking congress to call the necessary conven tion are as follows: Iowa, Oregon, Minne sota, Pennsylvania, . South Dakota, Mon tana, Idaho, Washington, North Carolina, North Dakota. Florida. Utah. Kansas, Ohio, Wyoming", Tennessee, Illinois, Ken tucky, Indiana, New Hampshire, Nevada, Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado. Many Wan State Jobs.
