unent.r 1t is his opinion that the tern
4f the governor should be change'
rom two TO four years.
y The statement follows:
/ shall not be a candidate Tor
governor for a second term. rms
Conclusion has been reached AFTER
the consideration OF several rea-
sons. During the primary contest
and subsequent parry campaign
4 frequently made the statement
that | was inspired 10 be candi-
date more By a desire 10 do my
duty as q citizen than by mere
ambition 10 be governor. When
made these declarations was
deeply in earnest | am still in the
same state OF mind.
In my opinion, il is desirable 70
charge the term OF governorshlp
from two years to one term or four
years. Should the legislature con
slider the submission of an amend
ment to the constitution TO this
- sta.h 70 l.A al a
ed by the possibility OF a Two
VI year governor succeeding to a
4 four-year term.
s' Too frequently first-term
governor feels Obliged to consider
and cater to popularity and popu'
lar measures in order to insure 4
second term. This often involves
an excess OF political appoint
\ ments, trading of patronage. coer-
cion of legislators and other acts
not conducive TO efficient govern
ment. One OF the evil results OF
q this has been the practical as
sumption OF a legislative power
BY the executive that never seems
10 have been contemplated by our
3 state constitution.
| wish TO confess to desire to
have any suggestions / may make
h 10 the legislature or any Official
acts l may perform removed as
far as possible from the slightest
& intimation that there has been
any consideration of future per-
sonal or political advantage. BY
making a one-term declaration at
this time | frankly hope 10 insure
that credit for sincerity which nat
urally attaches 10 disinterest. The
Republican party of Michigan is
rich in gubernatorial material OF
X the best character and there can
be no embarrassment TO either
state or party in my decision TO
accept but one term.
1t may be fair TO state that a
" personal work to which | had
hoped to devote my life was en-
tirely interrupted by my injection
I into state politics ar this time. My
one ambition Is TO serve the state
faithfully for one term and then
return to the pursuits OF a private
citizen. In which capacity one
should easily be able 10 accom-
n plish honor. happiness and ration
