Text of the Statement.

He took into his confidence only his
secretary, Mr. Loeb. and between them
they prepared the following statement :
On the night after election l made the
following announcement:
Il am deeply sensible of the honor done
me- by the American people in thus ex-
pressing their confidence in what I have
done and have tried to do l appreciate
to the full the solemn responsibility this
confidence imposes upon me, and l shall
do all that in my power lies not to forfeit

it. On the 18th of March next 1 shall
have served three and a half years, and
this three and half years constitute my
first term. The wise custom which limits
the President to two terms regards the
substance and not the form, and under no
circumstances Will be a candidate for or
accept another nomination"
7 have not changed and shall not
change the decision thus announced
In the absence of any information
further than that afforded by the state
ment itself, theories ran riot. Every
statesman and politician at once put
on his thinking cap and began to specu-
late as to what happening or happen
ings had forced the Presidents hand"
as most of them put it.
To those who have enjoyed the Presi-
dents confidence i'll relation to the per-
picking political situation confronting
the Republican party, the statement
was as much of a surprise as it was to
those not favored. The surprise, how
ever, it must be borne in mind was not
so much with regard to the contents of
the announcement as that it had come
just wher it did. 1t is practically GER
tain that only few days before the
President had no intention of saying
anything formally with respect to the
third term question for at least sever
al months, beyond what he said in his
order commanding office-holders to
cease their activity in his behalf
Views of Politicians.
l have assumed from the beginning that
President Roosevelt would not be a can

of election left no room for misunder-
standing, and l have felt that his friends
were doing him an injustice in suggesting
that he would change his position on the
subject.-William J. Bryan.

I suppose, but l don't care to discuss the
matter, thank you.-Senator Foraker.
