LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Mir. Miller Regrets.

MT. Editor: Don't blame the old man of 80 if he is inclined to be naughty, also a trifie saucy! when every day you score, 20 times or more, the peo- ple's fav0rits-TheOdOre
 But your courtesy exsanguous to the old man so contiguous relieves some what the sore located near his pom padour. Therefore this effulgence:
 Among the recalls MT. Roosevelt hopes to have omitted is the action of the people when General Grant ran for third term. m."-Bulletin, March 12, 1912.
 Now, dear Bulletin, the above recalls to the mind of the old man an extra reason for prayers for the final re- demption of some of the slow going and slow thinking editors of Connecti- cut, who claim George Washington as authority for their arguments against third terms Now George, who was always it in this old government of ours, was opposed to Jefferson on that very question. He said in 17sS: T can see no prOpriety in precluding our selves from the services of any man who in some great emergency shall be deemed universally most capable ot serving the whole people, And, dear Bulletin, George had an excellent repu-
  try got full value in all public matters. And right here, if 1t were possible to step up to mouthpiece and whisper into the shell-l1ke ear of a peace at the other end of a wire and remark: Give me 160 HI this could be summa- riIy disposed of, if George cared to take sides in the little tilt between | William and Theodore. But the earth has rotated successfully a good many | years without any intercurrence with i George, consequently the people will have to compete with the political wireworkers of Washington D-esunt C-aetera, and the belligerent news ! papermen.

 Brother Miller's regrets seem hu- morOus to The Bulletin. Colonel Roosevelt had a right to change his mind, but that is not a good reason why The Bulletin should change it's mind and join the insurgents. The Bulletin Is standing for President Taft for 8 second term--just as 1t stood for l President Roosevelt for a second term. There is something very strange about the suddenness with which MT Roosevelt changed his mind, for as late 1 as Jan. 12, 1912, he was not a candi- date. and did not expect to be, and his brother-in-law COwles and his son in 1 law LongWorth, Stimson and Meyer of ! Tafts cabinet and Senator Lodge be- l ing confirmed in the belief he did moi 1 intend to run, committed themselves ] for President Taft, and the two rela- l tives and Senator Lodge were com pelled to announce they should remain l neutral-a most embarrassing position l for them, as they would have espouse6 his cause. This is history, Brother Miller.
 l George Washington never favored 6 1 third term, and never uttered a worc 1 which can be fairly interpreted tC 1 show that he would favor 8 third term | There is no crisis or emergency whicl l calls for extraordinary action on tho ! part of the voters of the country. Col 1 onel Roosevelt has created two new i issues-the recall of the judges anC | the presidential primaries-neither o' ' which were ever a part of a republican platform, and instead of waiting to b, called he is to canvass the country 1T his own interest.
 The Bulletin and the voters recog nize pretext when they see it. ant are governing themselves accordingly y ! The Ed.1
