New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-01-31

cumDent was worthy OF nfSC Term;
much less of second; but third-good
Lord deliver us!-David JAS Burrell.
sOcKLEss JERRY.
In my opinion the question whether
man should be elected the third time
president of the United States depends
altogether upon his fitness for that posi-
ton. I think a man should be elected
president of the United States just as
often as IN the opinion Of the majority
of the people they think he is entitled to
fill that position. If man shows extra
ordinary ability as ruler, IS fair and
just, and administers the laws in the
interests of the people they should reflect
him just as long as he lives, because I
think his experience in that position
would enable him to govern more wisely
than would an inexperienced man.
I never have been able to see any good
reason why man should not be elected
a third term if he is we'll qualified to
fill the position and the people of the
United States demand him.
Now, as to your second question, as to
whether the present incumbent should
be elected the third time, I will say that
I am decidedly Of the opinion that he
should not. [ think he has shown incapa-
city as statesman and ruler, and also
a disregard Of the laws of his country.
and I am of the opinion that when the
people get chance they will not only
repudiate Grover Cleveland, but the party
he represents.
He has not alone shown himself the
tool of the money power, calling con-
gress together in special session to pass
legislation in the interests of the money
trust, but the tariff bill now presented to
the house, which presume it is fair to
suppose reflects his ideas Of tariff reform,
shows that he has wholly surrendered to
the manufacturers trust. For the pres
ent tariff bill as presented by Chairman
Wilson is only robber tariff IN little
less degree than the Mckinley bill, (which
is on par with his surrender in regard
to the principle that public Office is
a sacred trust, when 1t can ~ proven
that he has parcelled out the offices as
rewards for contributions to the cam
paign fund while he has entered into
speculation on Wall street and has be-
come millionaire since his term of office
by trading upon misfortunes from his
fellow citizens.
No, don't think he should be re-elect-
ed to the third term.-Jerry Simpson.
FROM FRYE,
In my opinion the people of this coun-
try are opposed to third term for any
one, and Gen. Grant probably failed in
obtaining third nomination from the
recognition of this fact. I, however,
myself know Of no reason why man
may not be elected three times to the
office of president of the United States
if one term does not Immediately succeed
the other, and if he has the requisite
qualifications with the confidence of the
people. I can conceive of conditions
under which third term might be very
desirable. think it would be better to
make the term of the president six years
and provide that he should not be elected
a successor to himself. This would pre-
vent his using his enormous appointing
power for his own personal Benefit. I
know of no objection to third term
that does not apply as strongly to a
second.
Your second inquiry, is the present in
cumbent entitled to said third term,
can answer emphatlcally,no. His course
so far has satisfied the people that he
was not entitled to the second. - VIM. P.
