PRESIDENT INTERVIEWER.



WASHINGTON. Nov. 7.-Colonei Mosby
met the President for the first time to-
day since the election. Both being in
favor of third term they sat down and
discussed matters for an hour. The Con-
gressional candidate in Mosby's district,
Mr.. Barbour, who was to yindicate the
third term policy. was beaten by Gene
raj Hunton, a Democratic member OF the
present Congress, who said the people OF
Virginia were Internationally opposed
TO a third term. But this did not dis

Executive Mansion, and he plaintivel.

telling what good such declaratio
would have done. Why, Mr.. Presiden

quickly the cry of a third term woul
