speeches in Committee Of the Whole II was warmly
and eloquently advocated by Messrs. Hopkins

THE THIRD TERM QUESTION AT THE MEETING
OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE.
1t has transprcd that the introduction Of the third
term question at tho recent session of the National
Republican Committee came from Mr p. Y scammon
Of Chicago. He broached the subject by promising

people The next would differ from those in this
spcct unless public opinion should change and SGT
strongly In favor of third term At this point the
evident dissent expressed by tho large majority
present tho introduction OF the third term matter
had the effect of stopping Mr. scammon in what was
evidently the middle OF his effort
