FRED NJ. WARNER

Fred NJ Warner. upon whom the
people of Michigan have twice be-
slowed tho highest gift within their
power. viz, the Governorship of this,
one of the great states of the North
west, can be seen and heard TODAY
trying to convince the people who have
honored him twice before with the idea
that he now is the only man in the
state competent to carry out their
wishes and desires. In the opinion of
the people of this part of the state it is
time for Fred NJ. Warner to be shelved
and if we mistake not the temper of
the people there is where he will be
found after theprimaries in Septem Der
Discussing third term ideas rs applied
to the presidency the Philadelphia
Record prints the following:
1.-The objection of the American peo-
pie to the third term is that the power
of president is so great that if he
chose to use IL he could perpetuate his
power and defeat the will of the peo-
ule The potency of federal patronage
is enormous. Any president can pro-
cure his own denomination. He can
not directly affect the popular vote and
procure his own reelection. But if he
can get.himself renominated the voters
have no choice except TO re-elect him
or throw the government into the
hands of the opposite political party
In commenting on the above item the
Detroit Free Press said editorialy:
1T is probably true that under the
convention system a state governor of
average popularity and efficiency could
force his nomination for a third term
as easily as could president, /. in the
opinion of the Record. Acceptance of
the probability gives increased appre.
citation of the patriotic forbearance of
some of our former governors of excep-
tional strength with the people I'm
der the direct nomination system. it is
a distinction less easily attained, but
the same objection that apply to third
terms in the office of president apply
with equal force to third terms in the
office of governor. TIC he sure there
are in the several states numerous ex-
amples of executives who have served

the art of machine building had not

when conditions were very different
from those of the present. The few ex-
smples preseDted-in late years were due
in most cases to exceptional circum-
stances -circumstsnces that have no
existence in this state--and il is by no
means certain that in all these in

made.
