SIR: have been interested in articles which
have appeared from time to time In the papers on the
length Of the Presidential term. Political men do not
seem TO keep in mind the extremely detrimental influence
upon the business OF the country OF violent poll ca con-
roversies, especially in Presidential campaigns occur
ring as frequently they now do. Not more than two
years pass before schemes being prepared for the
next election. An election be conducted only at
great cost Of money well loss business have
somewhere the estimate of direct pecuniry cost
OF two or three Millions to say nothing OF The mucn
greater indirect loss The cost and loss to the country of
Such "A proOH gcd political campaign that through

PEELED TO suffer II OItcner tban years Pccu-
mary prosperity and thrift be attained except
with political peace.
Ono thing needed, and that is entire separation
OF munclpal and State nirctiCns national politics
Such elections should not place within four DIETER

a constitutional amendment What would have been the
result IN the recent campagnt The dOubtfu Southern
states would have given AN undoGbted Republiran
