WHY LONG OPPOSES 7. r.

former assistant. and gives his rea-
sons as follows:
! cannot vote for Roosevelt because
his election would violate the unwrit-
ten. but now practically constitutional.
principle that no President shall have
more than two terms of office. Wash
ington and Jefferson saw the danger
o; perpetuation of executive power
and set the example OF refusing to sc-
cept a third term. True TO this prin-
ciple. the country refused a third term
TO it's idol, Gen. Grant Roosevelt
committed himself to this principle and
only four years aGo solemnly declared
that it would be a calamity for him
to serve third term.
l cannot vote for him because in this
respect he has not kept his word but
has broken faith with the people
cannot vote for him because re-
gard his treatment Of President Taft as
unfair. selfish and violative of the
obligations Of their mutual relations.
cannot vote for him because I be-
lieve he is striking at the very fOun-

judicial officers by popular vote, thus
making our courts subservient to pop
u,ar caprice also by his attack on our
systems of government

eNuberance be unconscious Of it, he is
acting i'm a spirit of aggrandize-
ment and is using his great power of
