Col. Roosevelt, on election night,
1904, said The wise cnstom
which limits President 70 two
terms is in regard to the substance
and not the form, and in no cir.
cumstance will be a candidatr or
accept another nomination" ON
December II, 1907, after repeat.
ing this declaration, he said: !
have not changed and will not
change the decision thus an
nUunced." But it seems that the
Colonel has changed his decision
in regard to this wise custom. :"
and on February -, 1912, he said
he would accept another term, and
what's more he's out after it hot
and eager. Well, we'll wait and
see il he has an opportunity to ac-
cept and to break THE wise Gus.
tom which limits a President to
two terms.

The Thirteenth district delegates
to the Joplin Convention did well
in naming Jerry b. Burks of
Pennington for presidential elector
of this district. Mr.. Burks is one
of our best lawyers as well as a
tried and loyal Democrat, and is a
speaker of no mean ability who
will do good service for the party

their number.

gressional district and the State,
seems To indicate that the Demo
cratic nominees Tor State, district
and county officers may be success
fully elected, provided the party and
it's leaders use good political judg-
ment; that they discourage and
frown down the tendency evidenced
ut the recent preCint mass meetings,

convention, (" relegate 10 tn" rear,
or throw entirely out, the large and

Joseph W. Folk.
To win, the Democratic party
must bring to its support TN" various
wings or elements of the party; and
to do this II seems To- mo that repre-
semtatives of each wing should be

/ ticket. All these things being con-
| sldereu, may 1t not be a wise thing
to nominate Hon. W. ID. Vandiver
for Governor? He Is ripe in expert

party; his political and personal
character is unimpcachahlc, and in
every way he is competent to make
