TWO TERMS PLENTY
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SAYS
HE is NOT A CANDIDATE.
Makes the Statement at Recent Con-
ference at Whtehouse-Thinks two
terms Is Sufficient for the President
of the United States-Regards This
as His Second Term.

1t was announced at Washington, d.
c., Sunday that President Roosevelt
before starting on his Panama trip
took occasion at a White House con-
ference to again strongly reiterate his
public announcement" that no combina-
ton of circumstances could induce him
to become a candidate for reelection
in 1908.' 1t is said the subject was
preached by one of the callers alludins
to frequent publications which declar-
ed the president to be the logical man
TO lead his party to victory. The presi-
dent, in declaring that he had not
changed his mind, expressed apprecia-
ton of the compliment implied. He
said that while the suggestion was
no doubt made in all sincerity, it was
embarrassing because it created the
impression that he could be swayed
from his former attitude. He said his
decision to retire at the conclusion of
his present term was irrevocable. The
president subscribed to the time hon
cred tradition that the president of the
United States could not serve more
than two terms. He regarded this as
his second term. He secuted the sug-
gestion that the policies he had been
pursuing could not, or would not, be
carried to their conclusion by his sue
cessor, whoever he might be.
Late Message From Voyagers.
According to wireless messages re-
ceived at the White House from the
battleship Louisiana, President Roose-
welt and party are experiencing fine
weather and greatly enjoying the trip.
The president and Mrs. Roosevelt
are greatly enjoying the trip, spending
a great deal of time on deck.

beaten because, when half starved, she
helped herself 10 some scraps Of food.
Our attention has now been called
