Senator Bristow leads fight on direct election of senators
In a charged Senate session the Bristow amendment to maintain federal supervision of senatorial elections was defeated. Senator Borah led the resolution for direct state control, with Dixie party members voting on party lines. The adoption of the Bristow substitution failed 64 to 24, and the bill proceeds to conference. A local wedding report follows: Walter Peters and Sarah Carder, both of Philippi, were married May 31 at Rev. Weaver's residence.
