The Third Term Question.

The possibility that Grover Cleveland
will run for president third time has
brought up the third term question again
Nine presidents have been elected for two
terms Two Of the nine did not live to
complete their second term. Four of the
remaining seven have been talked Of for
third term. Precedent is against a
third term, but whether that is sufficient
grounds for defeating good man, only
time will tell. The man who hopes to
retain his health and strength for third
term in so strenuous a position should use
golden grain belt beer regularly. It gives
the strength that workers need

SHY
trusted Secretary of CaIifor-
mia University Board of Re-
gents a Oefaulter

Berkeley, Cal, Dec. lev. A. Nc
Kowen, secretary of the board of re-
gents of the state university, today
confessed to President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler of that institution that he IS
a defaulter to the amount of $4,000
or possibly more. He says he could
10. state the exact amount.
Most of the money had been lost at
the race track. he said that the me-
thod of bookkeeping in use placed lit
tie or no check on his use of the money
entrusted TO his care. He was placed
in charge of Town Marshal Edgar and
a meeting of the regents. at which
Governor Pardee will be present will
h. held late this afternoon to consid-
er the situation.
McKcwens defalca tions are suppos-
ed TO have covered a period of five
years. The fact of his crime and his
arrest Immediately thereafter followed
the discovery that McKowen had at
tempted TO pay racing debt with a
check made out to him personally by
MIS-. Phoebe Hearst.
This check was for SLIGO and was
handed over by McKowen to Book
maker Jim Davis in payment of mark
ers on the races for $1,000. Davis gave
