Tbe Third Term

In his latest explanation of the
third presidential term, Colonel
Roosevelt says: ST.
'Tt must be clear to any reasona-
BILE man that the precedent which
fofbids the third term has reference
only to a third consecutive term.
1t grew out Of the fact that a presi-
dent of the United States under the
present convention system Of elect
ing delegates, can IL he, knows how
to use the machinery at his dis
posal, renominate himself. even
though the majority Of his party is
against him. but after he has been
out of ONCE for a term, he has lost
control Of that machinery. He is

re once u gFesident

W 81 ~ re q greeiden
Ihe notion q third consecn-
tive term however does not clarity
the controversy altogether .a Il
could easily be construed to apply
to 4 president who had served two
consecutive terms and who should
aspire to- another term after one in
tervening and this seems to have
been 'dednitely settled more than a
quarter Of q century ago when eS-
forts were made to nominate ex-
President U. s. Grant at the close
Of the term following his two consec-
Iutiye terms. 1T Is not likely that the
American people VIII now set aside
the noble precedent laid down by
their hrst president and favor a
third presidential term whether II
is consecutive or not.
There are a great many people
who dosnot, consider that Colonel
Roosevelt has served two terms in
a strict sense and to what the coll
onel says in the foregoing may be
added the additional evidence that
he hlled his drst duties as president
by virtue Of his yice-presidential Of.
fee and that he did not have the OPP
portunity Of carrying out his own
policies but instead was Obliged to
carry out those of his martyred
predecessor. This is sensible
though liberal view of the question
as applied to Mr.. Roosevelt. But,
the colonel now says:
"My position is perfectly simple.
b stated 1t as clearly as could in
1904 and reiterated itsin 1907. ]
said thatgf:would not accept a nomi.
nation, fot a third term, under any
circumstances, meaning, OF course,
a third consecutive term. /"
Mr.. Roosevelt, then president,
did not mean -aything Of the kind
and no such possible construction
could be placed upon his words that
the wise custom which limits the
tenure of. a president to two terms
regards the substance and not the
form and that he regarded his COM
pletion of the Mckinley term as his
first term. No man in the possession
|of his senses could construe Presi-
dent Roosevelt's utterance as refer
erence to-. third consecutive"
term.
The colonel made serious mis-
taeH in his utterances this; week on
the third term controversy and 1t
would have been much better for him
had he left it unsaid. It shows him
to be too ready to flop over in his
views for the sake Of political ex-
pediency.

spices Of the Westminster Guild and
the katherine Doan Club OF the
First Methodist episcopal church
The boys will no doubt be greeted
with a great reception for the young
ladies of these local organizations
will push the show and are very
hopeful Of making out nicely on
their business venture. It costs
them large sum to bring the coll
lege men here and they deserve the
help Of the people of Clarksburg.
There are fourteen men in the Glee
Club and sixteen men in the Mandolin
Club, but with several in both or
CARNATIONS there are only twenty-five
carried on the trip. This is the
spring trip and an effort will be
made to entertain the college boys
while they are in the city. The
glee club show is always a society
event and the people of clarksburg
will welcome this opportunity OF
hearing this popular organization
again and also Of meeting the men
of the club.
Dr.. n. g. 'Mdclelland is gradu,
ate of Washington and Jefferson
and a trustee now, and the college
has always been strong in this local
ity. The show will be given in one
of the largest places in the city, for
there were many standing and
turned away at the last appearance
of tho Washington and Jefferson
boys in clarksburg.

TAFT and RooseveIt

Now that Theodore Roosevelt,
private citizen, is beyond the
shadow of numerous doubts that
have been entertained, receptive
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for the presidency, the Tele-
gram desires to state that in the
event he is nominated by the Chica-
90 convention, which this newspaper
does not think probable, the Tele-
gfamEwill support him for election !.
The Telegram has heretofore fought
4 under the Roosevelt banner and it
Will do SO again when 1t is convinced
that a majority of the Republicans
Of the country are ready and willing
to adopt the radical policies that are
now advocated by the former presi-
dent. That will be the verdict Of
the party and the Telegram is es-
sentially Republican newspaper,
always willing to. cast it's lot with
the party Of achievement and prog
Tess.
The Telegram believes it voices
the sentiment Of Republicans here
abputs, however, that certain iviews
now entertained by Mr.. Roosevelt are
2 not conducive to the success of the
party for the reason that they verge
too much into extremes for sound
Republican doctrines. The Telegram
has always been a staunch admirer
oftthe present able, conscientious
:, president. william howard Taft. 1T
Believes that Mr.. Taft has accom-
plished vast good and has done
remarkably we'll in the trying stu
alton in which he has found him
self with practically both hands tied
lnf-his efforts to bring about an en-
forcement of his policies. 1t be-
1ieves that Mr.. Taft is essentially
Just and correct IN his position in

doctrines OF the recall, the initiative
and the referendum. 1t upholds

wonderful work in introducing econ
omy and efficiency in governmental
AFFAIRS. 1t believes he voices a sound
doctrine of arbitration and of further
peace among the family of nations.

tons and believes his administration
has accomplished more in its time
