ONE MAN.

One thing that even democrats
must admit is that many of Mr..
Tatfs failures have been due to Mr..
Roosevelt's bossism.
Mr.. Taft never would have come
to the presidency without Mr.. Roose-
velt's endorsement and command to
a servile party.
If Mr.. Taft had been less proxy
and more president not a few of the
scandals and humiliations of the pres
ent regime would have been avoided.
Is it possible that the man who
gave us Taft is now, in the face of
admitted error, to sweep aside his
understudy and set himself up as
necessary? Is it not possible that he
is again mistaken?
In 1908 the mandate was: Take
Taft or you will get me-" Now it is:
"Repudiate Taft, for you want mel"
The presidency is too great a posi-
ton to be left in One Mans keeping,
and that man desperate. 1t must
not be passed on. 1t must not be
merchandised. 1t cannot be entailed.

So, "1et her rip" as they say when
they shoot off the skyrocket. True,
solemn promise was made in 1904
that under no circumstances would
another nomination be accepted, but
at that time no one was angry with
Taft. True, another solemn promise
adhering to the first was made in
1907. but what of that? The Tennis
Cabinet were not out OF jobs. Surely
little things like that should not

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Il have decided to announce my
candidacy for the democratic nomi-
nation for congress in the eighth
Iowa congressional district. In so
doing at this time l am taking into
consideration the fact that no other
candidates have announced, and also
that the time-limit for the filing of
petitions is near at hand.
Il entertain pretty fixed notions
concerning the wisdom of our fore
fathers in drafting Constitution
which is strong enough, yet flexible
enough, to suit our needs. True it is
that it needs amending from time to
time, but l want to be sure that a
change is an improvement before
lending it support.
1--WE have rather too many laws
than otherwise. l believe that the
enactment of a new law should be
undertaken with fear and trem-
bling The laws now upon the
statute books should be given the
most searching examination with the
view of amending them if necessary,
possibly removing them altogether
from the statute books.
,$ "If nominated I will make hard
square campaign based upon the is
sues and if elected, will to the
best of my ability try to secure just
legislation for the farmer, the bus
mess man, the laboring man as we'll

MIR ROOSEVELT is MISTAKEN

1T must be clear to any reason
able man that the precedent which
forbids for the third term has refer
ence only to third consecutive
term. '-Theodor Roosevelt's state
ment.
Mr.. Roosevelt is, mistaken. His
mistake is emphasized by reference
to the case of Gen. Grant.
~Grant retired from the presidency
at the close of his second term,
March, 1877. Four years later a
most determined effort was made to
nominate him for a third term
not "a third consecutive term
The unwritten law concerning the
number of terms a president might
serve-whether consecutive or
otherwise-was enforced. And even
to so great soldier and so popular
man third term was denied.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1912-03-07
ROOSEVELT AGAINST TAFT.

Mr.. Roosevelt formally announces
that he will accept nomination for
"a third term if the republican
national convention offers it, to him.
He adds that he will remain in the
contest until the national convention
has expressed it's preference-has
decided between him and Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Roosevelt has created an un-
precedented situation. Never before
has a former president, who was not
'only consulted in the choice of his
successor but who dominated in that
choice and practically named that
successor, sought to treat his sue
cessor as a mere caretaker of the
presidency while he was on a vaca-
ton.
Never but once before has former
president sought third term. New
er before has former president pub
licly eaten his solemn and voluntary
pledge not to seek the Office again.
It has remained for Theodore
Roosevelt, in the enormity of his
|egotism. to do these things.
The issue within the republican
party is now clear. We have as re-
=
Roosevelt's program of socialistic
revolution and constitutional govern
ment.
Presumably Mr.. Taft at last under
stands that his former friend, to
whom he owed so much, has become
an enemy bent on his destruction.
Presumably the ordinary instinct of
Misrepresentation will now move Mr..
Taft to fight the socialistic revolution
all along the line.
If Mr.. Taft is so moved-if Mr.
Taft will put forth his strength
there is no doubt of the result.
Neither this nation, nor the republic
can party, is ready for socialistic
revolution and centralized indus
trial despotism with Theodore Roose-
welt, or any other man, as the despot.

ROOSEVELT "ACCEPTS."

There is no suggestion of shrink
ing modesty or the difference Of
doubt in Theodore Roosevelt's re-
spouse to the handful of Governors
who recently offered him third
term. On the contrary, he throws
himself into their arms with an en-
phasis that must prove somewhat dis
|couraging even to them.
Never before was a forbidden hon
or so lightly rendered. Never before
was one so ravenously, even glut-
tonously, Sized Never before was
the best traditions Of the republic
Never before did weak pretender
more gravely accept distinction that
never can be his.
1t was not the five or six foolish
and tuft-hunting Governors out of
forty-eight who brought this thing
to pass, nor yet was il the few pos
tai card STRAW votes" which those
who pander to our pinchback Caesar
have been conducting. These dem
onstrations. were only incidentals
Mr.. Roosevelt is candidate for a
third term out of the exuberance of
his unparalleled egotism, his Ingram
ed lawlessness, his unbridled ambi-
ton, his propensity to bully and his
overmastering treachery.
If it were not fact that he is
tritling with vital matters, the posi-
ton in which he has now placed
himself ought to met the fondest
wish of his bitterest foe. He has
been so easily, so hastily and so mex
cusably moved to attempt something
sublime in the way of an assault up
on the susceptibilities of American
freemen that he has made himself
ridiculous. He dishonors himself to
no purpose.
We do not imagine for an instant
that he will receive the nomination
dictate it. We have no fear that even
if so abject a surrender should take
place he would not be the worst beat
en- man that ever ran for the presi-
dency We believe that most men in
their senses will have no anxiety on
these grounds.
What is to be deplored is the fact
that man who has held the highest
honors that the people can bestow
has shown himself capable so lightly
of breaking down their unwritten
laws; capable so easily of betraying
a friendly successor in office; capable
so fiercely of seeking power and glory
that were refused by Washington,
Jefferson and Jackson and, what is
and has been habitual with him, we
are sorry to say, capable of repud-
iating his own words, the soberest
that he ever uttered!
These offenses are against good
morals as we'll as against decent po-
litical and social ideals. They prove
that we have had one president who
was wrong at heart as well as wrong
in the head. They bring shame upon
his fellow-countrymen as we'll as up-

WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON,
JACKSON.

Here is the full statement of
George Washington, declining to be
a candidate for third term, en-
phasis to which was given by the
writer placing it at the very begin
ming of his Farewell Address"
'."The period for new election of
a citizen, to administer the executive
government of the United States, be-
ing not far distant, and the time
actually arrived when your thoughts
must be employed in designating the
person who is to be clothed with that
important trust, it appears to me
proper, especially as it may conduce
I to a more distinct expression of the
public voice, that ] should now ap-
prise you Of the resolution l have
formed to decline to be considered
among the number out Of whom. a
choice is to be made
" The following is the statement or
Thomas Jefferson as he neared the
end of his. second term as PRESIDENT:
Believing that a definite period of
retiring from this station will tend
materially to secure our elective
form of government, | have felt it
my duty to withdraw at the close OF
my present term of Office and to
strengthen by practice a principle
which l deem to be salutary."
If, in his time, any man was pop
uIar enough to overcome the senti-
ment against a thirdterm principle,
that man was Andrew Jackson. But,
like Washington and Jefferson, he re-
fused to consider anything like re-
naming in office. In spurning the
temptation involved in urgings from
various quarters, he referred to
Washington's example as IAN inval-
liable legacy to his countrymen which
should be cherished in the heart OF
every citizen to the latest genera
ton .s.-
Washington, Jefferson and Jackson
were statesmen and patriots.

THE GREATEST ISSUE OF ALL
e.: ~, ROOSEVELT AND THE - a'
THIRD TERM,

Theodore Roosevelt has taken the
advice of unwise friends and become
a candidate for q third term.
His letter, printed this morning.
puts the responsibility for his de-
cision on the eight governors who
met recently in Chicago and petit3ia0s
ed him to make the race.
II deeply appreciate your letter"
he says, "and ! realize to the full the
heavy responsibility it puts upon me,
expressing, as it does, the carefully
considered convictions of the men
elected by popular vote to stand at
the heads of government in their
several states"
There Is in that statement the in
ference that Mr.. Roosevelt now re-
spends to duty's call; that he might
not have sought third term if the
eight governors had not laid the
"heavy responsibility upon me-" a
responsibility, ne continues. that ex-
presses 1.-The carefully considered
convictions of the men elected by
popular vote to stand as the heads
of government in their several
states"
Having thus deposited the third
term waif on the eight governors
doorstep, Mr.. Roosevelt lifts his voice
to announce, Il will accept the NOM
ination for president if it is rendered
to me-" and lest he might be sus-
pected of changing his mind again be-
fore the Chicago convention, adds
quickly, land I will adhere to this
decision until the convention has ex-
pressed it's preference"
Strange words, these, from Mr..
Roosevelt, who once opposed so firm
ly the third-term peril.
On November 8, 1904, Mr.. Roose-
welt, without being asked to take
the pledge, gave this promise to the
American people:
"On the 4th of March next, l shall
have served three and a half years,
tute my first term. The wise GUS
tom which limits the president to two
terms regards the substance and not
the form, and under no circumstances
will l be a candidate for or accept
another nomination.
Three years later, on Dec II,
1907, Mr.. Roosevelt repeated the
foregoing pledge, and added, Il
have not changed and will not change
the decision thus announced"
More positive statement could not
be made. More seemingly sincere
pledge could not be given.
In that statement and that pledge,
repeated after the lapse of three
years, and emphasized by the addi-
tional assertion that he still stood by
the letter and the spirit of what he
had said, Mr.. Roosevelt placed him
self in position to merit the admir-
alton of the whole country.
All other issues in the campaign
of 1912 are dwarfed by the Third
Term issue. Greater than currency,
greater than tariff, greater than
trusts, is the issue of Third Term.
The REORGANIZATION of America
has been undertaken, and by mas
ter politician. Mr.. Roosevelt has a
clever way of making it appear that
he, alone, is honest, and that all who
oppose him are dishonest.
In this campaign, therefore, many
good and patriotic men who honestly
believe that the man who deserves
three terms as president of the
United States has not yet been born,
may expect to be denounced as
crooks, and, perhaps, as traitors
