' ' WASHINGTON, Jen IX-Wlthln half an
hoar after the beginning; of today's session
the senate entered on the consideration of
the resolution providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote of
the people on which there had bean an
agreement to vota bafora tha end of tha
day. It M understood that thara would
b an ax tended discussion of tha resolution
before a vote could be reached.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota waa
the first speaker and contended that en
otment Into taw cf a plait to elect sena
tors by direct vote would not prove a
panacea for all ilia of the flesh. He pre
dicted .that the man who thinks It such,
will awake to the fact that In. escaping
the evlia of legislative corruption, he has
entered Into a field equally Insidious
dancer, broader opportunities for the cor
ruptlonlsts. . ,. v '
"That which has soma times been
brought Into use to convert the Individual
taiflalaf nr unriar tha ANtwllt system." said
the senator, "will be used to convert tne
public under the new system, not st much
by direct dealing with public as by con
trolling and getting the source of public
political Instruction." . ' '
'.Views of Some Newspapers.
Mr. McCumber feared danger In popular
primaries Involving' two campaigns, as ha
said they would.' He added that an elec
tion under ' such conditions would cause
that nnlv a millionaire.
or the demagogue could afford to be a
candidate. '
. i "We cannot," he continued, "blind our
selves to the fact that ?vlth the primary
election system has grown the practice on
tho part of candidates of establishing
and purchasing papers by wholesale and
retail, with no loftier motive In view than
that of destroying .their opportunity by
political libel and falsehoods. Dallies and
weeklies are established for no other pur
pose than that of meeting political exigen
cies. . '
"These papers often carry a libelous
campaign for years, an deditorlal writers
. are employed nor on ' their ability in
ing; unfomtdijd, sdloew. thai'' a their
knowledge of public questions." - '
Mr, McCumber charged that It la a prac
tice wltt a portion of tha peoi'le to seek to
destroy those who do not conform to its
own' views. ' - :
JklA McCumber announcd his Intention to
vote against the entire proposition in case
of removal of government supervision of
senators. ''
Joksie Follows MeC umber.
Following Mr. McCumber, Senator John
eon of Alabama made a vigorous objection
to tha Bristow amendment provldlre; for
federal supervision of the proposed elec
tion of senators. -
"I have, myself, seen armed federal
forces at the po'ls," he said. "They merely
obeyed the bosses and the result was bad.
I hop never again to witness the1 spectacle.
If w ar to have federal supervision 1
hall vota against It and I warn the friends
of the measure that by accepting It they
will postpone this reform for many years."
Senator Borah advocated the adoption of
the resolution practically as It- passed tha
house. Ha thought the rejection of the
Brtatow amendment would be In the In
terest of favorable action by the states.

Eaid on July Wheat
and Everybody Sells
- r 1 1 1 '
On the Chicago Market Prices Fall
t. , Eight Cents Per Biuhel from
a Week Ago.
CHICAGO, June 12.-A sellers panlo hit
July wheat today. At ons time the option
showed a fall of nearly S cents a bushel, aa
compared with a week ago. .
Belief was' widespread that the leading
owners of cash w,heat bad taken In on May
contracts and were selling the grain for
July delivery and were going abort on de
ferred months, anticipating the hedging of
new crop wheat soon. Preparatory to auch
a maneuver today, tbe bull clique appar
ently supported the market during the early
trading and helped hoist prices. Then
came a well directed effort to unload. Stop
loss selling orders from other sources, how
ever, were brought Into operation.
In consequence prloea dropped aa much
as half a cent between trades, end. before
many dealers could get a clear Idea of the
trouble prices had tumbled to SSVa cents,
a loss of about S cents from ths top fly
urea today and 2V4j cents under Saturday's
close.
As a result of the upset July wheat went
below the September level and teemed In
clined to stay there. ,

Wyoming House Member in Congress
, Leads the Debate on Tariff
Bevision.
WABHINOTON. June 12. Republican op
position to the democratic wool tariff re
vision bill was voiced today in ths houe
by Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
who resumed the debate on the measure.
Mr. Mondell said the reduction of the rsw
wool tariff actually amounted to tha
abolishment of three-fourths of the pro
tection now given the sheep raisers of the
country.
"As the democrats have virtually declared
for free wool," he said, "this bill Is to all
Intents and purposes, a free wool bill, so
tar aa the sheep raising business of America
la concerned."
Mr, Mondell said William Jeonlnga Bryan
had actually controlled tbe recent demo
cratic caucus. His Influence forced It to
the acknowledgement, he aald, that the M
per cent duty left on raw wool did hot
lepreaent true democratic doctrine of tariff
revision, .
