FOR SIX YEAR TERM,

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT, The senate has before it for considerations the amendment to the constitution of the United States, making the term of president last for six years, instead of four. and rendering it impossible for any man to be elect ed president a second time.
 In these unsettled times of poli- tics, what may happen is a matter of conjecture, and it is the sense of the leading thinkers of the Unit. ed States that the power of any man to head the national admins tration should be limited by law, to avoid further trouble Since the first constitutional convention, the attempt to make the presidency of greater length and for one term only to any man has been persisted in. and it is possible that this will now be brought about.
