DIRECT ELECTION AMENDMENT IS REJECTED Georgia Legislature to Send Measure Back to Congress as Illegally Passed. The legislative committee to which was referred the proposed constitution al amendment providing for election of United States senators by the people sent in a lengthy report to the house today. The committee advises the return of the amendment to congress, with the objection that it was not legally passed by that body, and that, therefore, it would be dangerous and unwise for the legislature either to agree to or dissent from it in Its present form. The famous "Bristow clause” is not referred to nor does the committee address itself to the merits of the amendment. It merely sets forth that Georgia, in the main, is favorable to the election of senators by the people, but that Georgia should not, through its legislature, agree to an amendment Il legally inaugurated. The point raised by the committee against the amendment Is that It was not passed, as a matter of fact, by two thirds of the national congress, each house voting separately. The commit tee holds that "two-thirds” means, in this case, at least two-thirds of the 'elected membership” of congress—not merely two-thirds of “a quorum vot ing.” Advises No Action Be Taken. It is not denied that the amendment failed of a two-thirds vote in the na tional house, if two-thirds be held to mean two-thirds of the elected mem bership. It did 'receive two-thirds, however, if two-thirds be held to mean merely two-thirds ot a quorum voting. In congress, two-thirds has been held to mean generally two-thirds of a quo rum voting, and hence the constitution al amendment was held to have beeh legally passed by congress. It is to that view, nevertheless, that the Georgia committee specifically ob jects, and upon which it advises the return of the amendment to congress without action.
