The exercises proper opened with an in
,crestng debate On the question ''Should
the President he Restricted To Dnp Termtr
The affirmative side was forcibly handled
by Mr.. leighton who spoke first. Mr.
Leighton has held higt, position in srhol-
n-hip during hts course fie has been
chairman of the prudential eommitte. of
the Debating soeiety lie will 90 to Bow
dom in the fall Mr. Leighton said in par,
This question regarding the presidential
term naturally presents itself now a> we are
entering upon a great national campaign
II ~ no new question but II is one of the
greatest importance to the country. To-day
the only law in regard To the presidential
term is that the President shall hold office.
for the term of four years hut does not
make him ineligible for two, three or more
terms Washington by refusing third
term established precedent, but it il liable
10 he broken at any time. ten t,rant him.
self was not at all ayersc to a third term. but
it was deemed unwi-e 10 nominate him again
Bat from this Que circumstance il can b.
seen how any popular man might serve
he might become dictator Where the
President ia eligible for any number Of
terms, he is oftentime- led to act
.clishly to the end that be may secure a
denomination and reelection If he we're
limited to one term he would then have no
Inducements to lead him TO act thus. II It.
true that we have several instances where
"a President has acted fur the country. in
terrsts regardless of consequences 10 him
self. Johnson and Cleveland are good
examples of this fact. But il is seldom
that we have such Presidents rs these two.
Most of our chief executives have such
love for Second term that they devote all
their energies To obtain it. The proposition
of six years term il a wise one. II would
be- of the greatest advantage to business
and To the President himself The
one tern idea la, had able support
"rrs in the past. rhuS. Jefferson, Andrew
jackson and Daniel Webster gave it their
hearty support II is = measure too nearly
affecting the welfare of the country to b.
laid aside without second thought, and DIS
cussion upon II will never cease until it has
been settled for the best interests of the
people Of this great land.
MIR. Small followed on the negative side
making strong argument against the prop
p.ition He is also one of the leaders IN
scholarship in his class. Mr. Small was an
