 THIRD TERM
New Mexico Delegate to Con- gross Sees Only Roosevelt as the Next Nominee of Re- publican Party Next Year.

SANTA FEE. N. NJ. Sept. l3.-Dele | gate to Congress William H. An | drews, of New Mexico, administered
 severe shock to the American peo pie and kncked all the pins from un der the Taft presidential boom here today when he came out in the Santa Fe New Mexicai, that sturdy advo
 cate of republican principles. and de cent government, with an interview
 ot some length. placing himself nr ! record as in favor of third term foi 1 President Roosevelt. The outlyins districts have not yet been heard
 from, but there is a general impres | sion that the political centers of the
 nation have been shaken t. their very | foundations by the announcement | that New MeXico's delegate favored
 third term for MT. Roosevelt. The | supporters Of Secretary Taft are un | derstood to be hunting for the tall
 uncut, and the president. it is rumor ed, has seen the handwriting on the
 wall, 4has leoonHdeIhd his oft re ] peated declaration that he isn't goins to consider a nomination to success himself, and it about to bow to the inevitable. since New Mexico's dele, gate has laid out his political future | course with no unfaltering hand.
 MT. Andrews interview is interest, ing in a good many ways. He ex.
 presses the Plief that the president is logically in line to succeed himself and that he will be forced to do so

 In addition to his startling deciara- tion as to his position on the presi- dential candidate, MT.

Mr. Andrews argues that the chances are good for the admission of New Mex ico as a separate state during the coming congress, and his request for a constitutional convention will meet with considerable interest among that vast majority of the people Of the territory who believe in taking every chance and working every oD- portunity for admission into th,e union.
 MT. Andrews, however. lays down some rather startling propositions in connection with the proposed conyen- ton. Among other things he is quoted as saying that a constitution for this territory could be formulated in about ten days, not more, and that it would serve temporarily anyway. Mir. Andrews plan is to ask Governor Curry to call such a convention, and name the delegates, who will pay their own expenses.
