Decides, In View of Recent Discuss
sion. That IL Would BE Hest
For Him to Make His In

Washington, June 1.-THE following
statement has been given out at the
White House:
81 regret that tire suggestion or
third term has been made. doubt
whether am called upon to give II no.
tice. But there are now questions OF
the gravest importance before the al
minstration and the country, and their
lust consideration should not he preJu-
diced in the public mind by even the
suspicion of the thought Of third
term.
"In view, therefore. Of the reiteration
of the suggestion of 1t will say now.
once for all, expressing long settled
conviction. that not only am not and
will not be a candidate for a third
term. but would not accept n nominal
tion for 1t If 1t were rendered me.
"AIy only ambition Is to serve through
my second term 10 the acceptance OF
my c0untrymen, whose generous con-
fidcnce SO deeply appreciate, and then,
with them, to do my duty I'm the ranks
of private citizenship.
CIVILIAN MCKINLEY"
why Announcement Was Made. .
President McKinley's official an
nouncement disposing Of the third term
idea suggested by some of his admir-
ers created no great surprise among his
friends who have known Of his deep
convictions on the subject.
When Senator Depew's suggestion
ten days ago that the president should
lie reelected for third term began to
be seriously discussed and when sew
eral of the presidents friends felt call
ed upon to ndOrse the idea, the presi-
dent decided that the public mind
should be instantly cleared of even the
suspicion that he was seeking to break
down the precedents of the past by be-
coming a candidate for another term.
He preached the subject to Secretary
Long. He told him he believed that an
announcement Mt the very inception Of
the discussion would he wise and Off
cially informed the members of the
cabinet. who had been informally call
cd together Of his decision. 1t met
with hearty approval.
There was unanimous concurrence In
the belief that discussion Of a third
term for the president. II allowed to go
on. would not only place the president
In false light before the country, but
would arouse amtagonlsm and greatly
cmlarrass the administration in the
solution Of the questions before 1t.
