WASHINGTON, n t\. June IS? I
The Cnited States Senate, after one
of the most stubborn fights in the
h' story of that body. passed the
resolution providing for the direct
? i *C*Uin of United States Senators, j
? > a vote of 64 to 24. The resolu
'in provides that Senators shall
be elected in the same way that
t' . representatives are now elected.
I* is thought that the recent dead
lock in New York. Colorado and
c'her States, as well as the Lorinier
s andal in the Senate contributed
grtatly to the sentiment which fiual
l> won out "n the great fight.
