Iowa Senate backs popular election of US senators
The Iowa Senate approved a joint resolution favoring electing United States senators by the people and removing the legislature from that prerogative. Only thirteen senators opposed. Senator Hughes of the Iowa Johnson district explained the push amid prior failed federal amendments. Senator Crawford of Dubuque offered the only opposing remark. Senator Young then introduced a bill to abolish the state railroad commission, sent to the railroad committee, with a large Henry county petition backing abolition. No house bill mirrored the railroad-commission abolition. Young is a Democrat.
