CONGRESSMAN HIGGINS
AGAINST THIRD TERMS

luton in House Yesterday.

Washington, Feb 5.-The house Of

ord today on presidential third terms.
Just at the moment when the Slayden
resolution, aimed primarily at Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, seemed about to
pass, shrewd parliamentarian turn
displaced the r'fasure from further
consideration. lay be revived later
in the session, its position of want
age on the house calendar has been
lost.
Mr. Slayden, a Texas democrat, in
troduced the resolution a week ago. 1t
sought to make it ':the opinion of the
house" that the example Of Washing
ton in retiring after a second term has
by uniform concurrence become the
time honored custom of the country a
violation of which would be fraught
with peril to free institutions. The res
olution was called up today with but
little warning, and thereupon there
was a quick matching of party wits.
Suspension of the rules was required
to pass the measure, and to suspend
the rules a second" had to be consid-
en- ed as ordered. Mr. Sims of Tennes-
see objected to the second and a
vote by tellers on ordering this parlia-
mentary action was necessary. The re-
publicanS in hurried .confab had de-
termined not to vote on the resolution,
thus putting the democrats in the po-
Sition of passing the measure by a
party vote, and in the opinion of a
number of them in fear Of Mr.. Roose-
welt as the republican nominee. Hence
the bulk of the democrats decided not
to vote for the second, and it was de-
feated by vote of 80 to 81 Four re-
publicans, however, cast their votes
for the second-ex- Speaker Cannon,
Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts, who had
planned to speak against the third
term idea;" Mr.. Bingham Of Pennsyl-
vania, father of the house." and Mr..
Higgins of Connecticut.
With the second" defeated, Mr..
Slayden was forced, amid burst Of
applause, to withdraw his motion for
suspension Of the rules. The res0lu-
ton was returned to the COMMITTEES
