No popular de mand exists for a change la the consti tution so as to deprive congress of the right to supervise the Election of fnlted Ftalee senators. 80 assorted a minority of the member of the- ejhte committee on the Judiciary in Tepoft filed today; The report opposed "the wf hdrawal of such right of supervision t-j-m .congress as Is contemplated In the pli for the selection of senators by direct : fote of the people.

' It la contended that there la no reason why the ultimate authority of the national government over the times and manner ef electing senators by direct, popular ' vote should not continue to be exercised Just as It always has been exercised over the direct election , of representative by popular vote. Contention also' Is made that possession of the power which It is proposed to strike out Is essential to enable the national gov ernment to art effectively In rase It should ever hawj occasion to enforce the provis ions., of the fourteenth ' and' fifteenth amendments to the constitution. "The bails of any enforcement of those provisions, must necessarily be the ascer tainment and establishment of the facts tn respect of the elections to which they may relate," says the report. . "The proposed amendment If adopted, would be the latest expression of the sovereign will of the people of the United State and would take away from the national gov ernment authority to make those 'regula tions regarding regulations which are essential to the preservation of the evidence regarding what actually occurs' Sabstltote Baacrsted. , , The report concludes: " "The two proposed amendments ought to be considered separately, and each upon Its own merits. The existing tendency toward the direct election of senators by the people ought not. to be made a vehicle or pretext for getting the approval of con gross to an entirely separata and distinct proposal, to destroy federal control over elections. The people of the country ought not to be compelled to approve, through their legislatures, a change which they may not deeire as the price of securing! another change which they may deeire. In order to prevent this unfair and In jurious treatment of the subject. we recommend that tho resolution be amended to read as follows: Joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution providing that senators shall be elected by the people of the several states. .. Resolved by the senate and bouse of representative of tho Inlted Btatea of America In congress assembled (two-thirds of each house concurring therein). That In lieu of the first paragraph of section three of article 1 of the constitution of the I'nlted Btatea. and In lieu of so much of paragraph two of the same section as relates to the filling of vacancies, the fal lowing be proposed as an amendment to the constitution, which shall- bo valid1 to ail Intents and purposes as part of the rontit.utlon when ratified by the legisla tures of three-fourths of the states: . The senate of the I'nlted Htates shall he composed of two renstora from each state, elected by the people thereof for six years; and each senator shall Iwvt one vote.
