of a pledge solemnly and voluntarily
offered in the following positive
terms:
Il am deepy sensible of the honor
done me by the American people in
thus expressing their confidence IN
what l have done or tried to do, | ap-
preciate to the full the solemn respon-
sibility this confidence imposes upon
me and I shall do all in my power not
to forfeit 1t. On the 4th of March next
| shall have served three and half
years, and this three and half years
constitutes my first term. The wise
custom which limits a president to
two terms regards the substance and
not the form. Under no cirCum-
tancess will l be a candidate for or
accept another nomination
All Things, of course, are possible,
and 1t is even possible that the pres
ident, as the third-term advocates sug.
gest, may be contemplating treachery
TO his own word. But his character
and reputation protest against so vic.
lent and unjust an assumption, and
until Mr. Roosevelt himself publicly
announces his Reputation of that e.ec-
uon-night pledge, his best friends, in
the truest sense of that term, Will re-
fuse to believe him capable of such
action.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

THIRD TERM TALK
AND Mr.. ROOSEVELT


Advocates of a third term for Pres
ident Roosevelt, encouraged by the
latter'S silence upon the subject of
late, grow noisier as the time for hold
ing the national convention draws
nearer. While Mr. ROosevelt's posi-
tive declaration on the night of the
last election that he wouId not again
be a candidate cannot be altogether
ignored, the third termers, taking ad-
vantage of the fact that the public
memory is proverbially short, argue
that his promise. may very easily be
evaded and that he may be forced"
TO accept a denomination without i'm
pairment of his sense of honor or a
breach of his good faith. Some of his
professed friends have even gone the
length of declaring that the president
is actively in search of the nomina-
ton and that his election night prom
Use was merely matter of shrewd
politics, to be broken as easily as
piecrust and with no more serious
consequence. Columns have been
written regarding his probable can
didacy by political spectators. and
a New York newspaper has been pub
fishing the views Of representative
men upon the propriety of his renom-
nation
At the beginning of the third-term
agitation it will be recalled that the
president caused to be given out nu-
merous affirmationS of his election
night promise. Finding it impossible
to quell the clamor, he has lately
treated il with a dignifed silence
which has been widely hailed by the
third termers as indicating his change
of heart and an intention to accept
another nomination, even at the risk
of rendering himself eligible o mem
bership in the ''Ananias Club which
he is credited with organizing.
At this juncture it may be we'll to
recall the exact words of the presi-
dents promise on the night of his cleo
ton, Nov. 8, 1904. They are so plain.
straightforward and so unequivocaI
that it is difficult to conceive how the
president may, with honor, evade or
repudiate them. Equally difficult is
1t to conceive how the American vo-
ter could sanction such breach of
faith or put confidence in the violator
