arrived upon the scene they found
young Eslep standing in the middle

CHAMP CLiRK,S IDEA.

Extension OF the presidential and
congressional terms OF Office is favored
by Representative Champ Clark, OF
Missouri, who probably will be speaker
Of the next House.
Il am in favor OF amending the
Constitution, said Mr.. Clark yester-
day, 50 as to elect the president for
one term OF six years and make him
forever ineligible for reelection. |
am in favor of that because every time
that there is 4 president extraordinary
popular lot OF fools boom him for a
third term.
For more than 100 years it has
been part of the unwritten law OF the
land that president shall serve two
terms and no more, and to break
down that unWritten law now would be
exceedingly dangerous. Therefore
am in favor now OF fixing it so 1t can
not be broken.
If the presidential term is made foi
six years, am in favor OF making the
term of Congress three years, instead
of two. Then the states falling into
that rule would have an election every
three years. /"
Mr.. Clark also is in favor OF electing
both the president and representatives
in Congress on the last Monday in Au.
gust and of inaugurating the president
and the members OF Congress on the
first Monday in October.
