. CONSTITUTIONAL changes OF

~ CONSTITUTIONAL changes OF
importance concerning the pres
~ idency Of the United States are
urged in what bias boeii re-
ported 70 be we'll supported move
nent The proposed changes are five, AS
follows: "a Tho term Of office Is ex-
tended to six years. -, No person who
has been president shall be again elect
I'd to that office. 80 No nomination for
president or vice president shall he
made prior to the election OF members
Of the electoral college. "a Presiden-
ttal electors are to be chosen one from

vots Of the people. 5) The president
OF the senate shall exercise tho minis

An effort will be made 10 secure their
adoption In tho Republican national
convention.
The conflicting views regarding the
advtsa bility OF re-clecting president
Is a matter OF no recent debate. II
has been agitated from the birth OF
the constitution. But impetus has been
given to 1t by reason OF developments
This year. It IL worthy OF notice that
the opposition TO the reelection OF
president has never been partisan Or
sectional, but the charge has been
made on more than one occasion that
n president has used the powerful in-
fiuence Of the patronage at the exccu-
tive disposal to obtain second term.
It has been argued by advocates OF
the second term that when the coun-
try gets a good president his readjust-
nIcnt and reconstructivc policies take
several years in the making aud that
&c Is a mistake 10 deny him a second
term, which. II ne were accorded It,
would result IN the fruition Of his aims
and plans. Yet the menace is obvious
in the case Of an incompetent admins
trntion kept In Office eight successive
years.
In the event Of such q misfortune n
six year term would be not so bad, |
and at the same time II would afford a |
competent executive ample time TO |
