FAvoRs LONGER TERMS.

tension of the presidential AMI
congressional terms of office is
favored by Representative Champ
Clark of Missouri, who probably
will be Speaker of the next House
81 am in favor of amending the
Constitution, said Mr.. Clark ~
day, 80 as to elect the President
for one term of six years aud
make him ineligible for reelection
am in favor of that, because
every time there is a President
extraordinarily popular a lot o.
fools boom him for a third time.
For more than 100 years it has
been part Of the unwritten law Of
the land that a President shall
serve two terms and no more. ami
to break down that unwritten law
would be exceedingly dangerous
Therefore, ] am in favor now of
fixing it so it cannot be broken.
IF the presidential term is
made six years ! am in favor Of
making the term of Congress
three years instead of two. Then
the State falling into that rule
would have an election every
three years"
Mr.. Clark also is in favor OF
electing both the President and
the Representatives in Congress
on the last Monday in August and
of inaugurating the President and
the members of Congress on the
first Monday in October.
