about third presidential term, and
by apathy many nation had lost its liberty,

the election Of President for . single
term Of six years, making senators cleo

judges into three classes, each class to
be. elected at the time of the election
OF the President. This he. thought would
do away, with the corruption by which
some senator's buy their seats. Bit what
