have guessed better the purpose Of
erging from the jungle aud the spec
tarular rcCutry into New York state
politics IN 1910. Had the people OF
New York only known that the cam.
rGign tVl yCars ago was but ID prelude
TO a third tc.n presidential candidacy
in 1912. they might possibly have
voted differently
Another part of the explanation that
suggests still further explanation is
the assertion that the precedent for
bidding a third term grew out of the
fact that "A president can, if he knows
how to use the machinery at his dis
pusal. renommate himself even
though a majority of his party is
against him " which objection docs
not apply to an eN-prcsidout ont of
office for -four years. Col. Roosevelt
never objected to second cousocu-
tive term on this account, he, him.
self, having taken advantage of his
possession Of the machinery of gov
eminent, not only to rcuomnute him.
self, but also to nominate his success
sor, and prcsumabc is of the same
opinion as to second consecutive
term.
If, then, Col Roosevelt goes back
into the white house, will he seek re-.
election in 1916 Would any ohjcc
ton withstand the precedent of two
consecutive terms twice for the same
