SENATORS DEBATE ON
 PRESIDENTIAL TERMS.
Comparative Virtues of Wilson and
 Roosevelt Discussed.

Washington, Aug. 19-The first at tempt of the senate to debate the Works resolution for a single six year term for president and vice president plunged that body today into another open discussion of the political situa- ton. Senator Cummins made the chief speech in support of the resolu- ton, but was interpolated with a run ming fire of comment from progress sives, republicans and democrats Be- fore it's conclusion the brief debate became an issue between Senator Borah of Idaho, republican, and Sena- tor Williams of Mississippi, democrat, as to whether Colonel Roosevelt or Governor Wilson had been guilty of greater indiscretion in use of language in their writings of recent years
 Senator Borah read from one of Governor Wilson's works to show that the democratic candidate had favored long tenure of the presidency office.
 The governor has endorsed the Baltimore platform,' said Senator Will Hams. democrat.
 He may yield to his platform, but ] doubt if he yields to his judgment" ." said Senator Borah.
 T think the senator will admit" F0torted Senator Williams. that Gov ernor Wilson has never written more recklessly than Theodore Roosevelt"
 "If the colonel has written some things which he ought not to have written,' replied Senator Borah, The has written a great many things fot which the public is indebted to him."
 Senator Williams declared Governor Wilson had never said anything un- kind about the men who had beer presidents of the United States since It's foundation.
 T offer a good s2.50 chromo to any one" he said, who will show me any comment made by Colonel Roosevelt of any president except Abraham Lin coin and himself, which was in any way complimentary"
 Senator Williams proposed a con Etitutional amendment as a substitute for the Works resolution limiting z president to two terms of four yeart each. He said this would be more 1T accord with the spirit of the founders of the constitution. He declared there had been only two men with "audaci. ty" enough to "go outside the estab- lished precedent" of two terms. Ont was General Grant "who was rebuke( by his own party" said the senator.
 'The other one is rather a recen incident" he continued, "but I thint fl will not be found at all difficult tt take care of him"

BENEFITS THE TRUSTS.
Colonel RooseveIt's Comment on Re-
 cent Trust Prosecutions.

Oyster Bay, N Y. Aug. 19.-"The more suits against the trusts that are brought to successful conclusion, the way MT. Wickersham brought the Standard Oil and American Tobacco eases to a conclusion, the better it will be for the trusts said Colonel Roosevelt tonight. If MT. Wicker sham will conduct to similar conclu- sion a few more suits of the same kind he will confer benefits upon the trusts such as all of them put togther can not confer upon themselves"
 Colonel Roosevelt made this state ment when he was told that Attorney General WickeTsham had been quoted as saying that the Taft administration had done more to break up the trusts and enforce the Sherman antitrust law than had been done by the Reese- welt administration.
 The only method of dealing with the trusts which was more absurd than that of the present administration he said, was that recommended by the Stanley congressional committee The proper way to meet the question, hf continued, was outlined in the pro- gressive platform, which advocates ar interstate industrial commission to reg ulate corporations

Governor Tells German Americans
 That Candidates on His Ticket Are
 Free Man-Taft Man Annoys Him.

Hoboken, N. J., Aug. 19-Gov. Wood row Wilson today addressed the an nual picnic of the Plattdeutscher Verein, a German American organiz- ation from the entire metropolitan district.
 We are asking ourselves this ques- tion,' said the governor, @as we face the coming elections in November, Which is the open road to get what we want?"
 A man in the heart of the crowd took advantage of the rhetorical pause and answered: "Taft!" There was a moments silence when another voice nearer the front shouted "Wflson!" The crowd took it up and cheered. When the demonstration had subsided the governor pointed in the direction of the man who had answered Taft and continued with smile:
 Will Be in Blind Alley.
 Our friend over there is perfectly welcome to use his road, but if he goes that way he will find that he is in a blind alley, because there is one thing that was proved at Baltimore, and that was that the people of the United States choose their candidates and the bosses do not"
 The governor dwelt upon the re- sponsibility of the government in making this country attractive to the foreigner, so that when he did come he would find it place of economic op- portunity where a man may choose his own career
 Has Made No Promises.
 Now. one of the things that makes me confident of the future" continued the governor, is that the men who are offering themselves to you on the tick ct that l happen to be on are free men. Nobody owns them So far as l am concerned, I not only have not made a promise to any man, but nc man has dared ask me to make 2 promise. My ears are free therefore to hear the counsels of my fellow cit izens."
