Rucker Measure Pass^ House
by Large Majority. ' ^
VOTE STOOD 296 TO 16
TNis Is the Firet of the Demooratic
Progrvn Measures Passed by the
House—Many Republicans Support
Measure ^ "
A Washington dispatch says: The
house, for the fifth tii|ie, has gone on
record in favor of ihe election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people.
Four times the measure has been
before the senate and failed. The vote
in the house was 296 to 16, Mr. Mc
Dermott, of Chicago, being the only
democrat to vote against it.
Special Elections for Vacano!es.
The Rucker resolution not only pro
vides for elections for full terms, but
for calling special elections to fill un
expired terms. If this were the lan
guage of the federal ^constitution to
day an election for senator in Georgia
would have to^be held and the people
be given an opportunity to record
their choice.
The fight ranged around the
amendment of Mr. Young, which was
identical with the question raised in
the senate at the last session by Sen
ator Sutherland. This amendment
would have denied* to the states the
right to prescribe the manner of hold
ing elections and the qualifications of
electors. Southern members opposed
this. This amendment was defeated
in the house by a vote of 196 to 112.
That out of the way, all but sixteen
members came to the support of the
main proposition.
This is the first of the democratic
program measure passed by the house.
The resolution, as the house approv
ed it, is in the forna of the Borah res
olution repealed out of the senate ju
diciary committee in the .closing'days
of the last congress.
No Federal Control.
Republican opposition to the Rucker
resolution in the house wasi based on
the fact that it did not contain the
