 It IS the present intention to have President Dole reappoiuted for term of years, probably six, after which the office will be filled by regular election. It is more than likely, also, that the

 It concludes thus: "Immediately up on it's accession to power the democrat ic party betrayed the confidence the American people had reposed in it and since then has continuously shown It. self so thoroughly unequal to the dis charge of the high trust committed to its care that it's history excites contempt and distrust in every thoughtful citi- gen."
