THE coLoNEL's PSYCHOLOGY

An eminent professor OF psychology
has sought to explain the mental
processes by which Cnl Roosevelt
reached determination to break a
pledge not to be candidate for a
third term. Ten thousald words are
used IN saying that the colonel is
running again because he wants the
office. We had said the same thing in
much less space. So far as psychology
enters into this problem, we have
already indicated that Col. Roosevelt
honestly intending to forswear the
office-holding habit, after he had got
out everything there was in 1t. was
overcome by the force Of habit to
repeat; that is, to take back an office
he had once held and to the holding
