Anti-Third- Term League.

The Anti-Third Term League has been
formed, with former United States SEN
ator Henry W. Blair of New Hampshire
as president and with headquarters IN
the Colorado building, to work against
a third term for President in form or
substance"
I'VE have organized the Anti-Third
Term League said Mr.. Blair today,
because we believe the integrity of our
form of government and the preservation
of our free institutions are seriously
threatened by the proposed candidacy OF
Mr. Roosevelt for a third term.
To be sure he is the only person IN
the country who possibly could be such
a candidate at the present time, for he
is the only one who has had second
term But our special opposition is not
to him as a man or on account or the
principles or want of principles which
he may represent, but to the third term
itself.
I'VE do not believe that the republican
marty in any state designs to repeal the
law which prohibits either the form or
the substance of the third term of the
presidency to any man-just the same
form and substance Of a third term as
that which Mr.. Roosevelt renowned and
denounced in the most solemn manner.
We propose to help him redeem that
pledge.
This is Just what we are and mean"

REPAIRS ON BRIDGES.
Number Under Way or Are Planned
for Immediate Future.

Repairs OF a number of the Districts
bridges either are under way or are
planned for the immediate future T.
c. ]. Baily, engineer Of bridges of the
District. has completed drawings for
the widening of the south approach to
the Terrace Mill bridge in Rock Creek
Park. A dangerous condition for traf-
fic has existed at this point, it is said,
as Terrace Mill road descends at a
heavy grade. crossing the park road
at the bridge. The new south APP
proach to the bridge, when completed
will have f1aring ends, which, it is be-
lieved, will greatly lessen the danger
of collisions.
Work has started on the laying of a
new floor on the Aqueduct bridge
This improvement. which will cost APP
proximately $4,000 will be finished by
May 20. 1t is planned to paint the
Anacostia bridge the latter part Of the
month. This structure will be given
first coat of black paint and then a
coat of olive green.
MIR. Baily has been conducting an in
vestigation recently to determine
where he can obtain suitable stone for
the facing Of the new @ street bridge
Work on this bridge will not begin
until the condemnation proceedings in
stituted have been disposed of, which
may require several months.

INCREASING THE GRASS CROP.
Success of Farmers Directed by the
Agricultural Department.

Demonstration work has been carried on
by the Department of Agriculture during
the last year with special view to the
production of grass as forage crop to
carry the increasing number of farm ami
mails. Each of 100 farmers rut in an
acre of grass under the direction of the
departments farm demonstrators. 1t was
found that in most cases there was a
cut of hay of two and half to three
tons an acre, enough to carry the ami
mails for the smaller farmers through the
winter. Most of the farmers who raised
hay last year are putting in two addi-
tional acres this year.
This change, which is incident to breed
ing more farm animals, will, IL is thought,
have a decidedly beneficial effect on the
fertility of the southern lands. 1t also
shows the farmers that they can carry
their stock over winter on homegrown
forage and will reconcile them to the
change from free range to stock law
counties. This Is law that prohibits
turning animals out into the woods and
cane brakes to Craze during the winter.
1t Is most essential in helping the work
of tick eradication among the southern
cattle.

Boston, Mass, May 8, 1912.
Dear Mr.. President:
1t is with extreme regret that I feel
obliged to bother you again with matters
pertaining to Massachusetts. AS YOU
probably know. the returns indicate that
you carried Massachusetts on the prefer
ence vote last Tuesday by a small mar
gin. Immediately upon receiving this in
formation Col. Roosevelt issued a public
statement stating that in his opinion the
spirit of the Massachusetts law demanded
that the Roosevelt delegates-at-large, al
though pledged to his support, should
abide by the choice of the people who
elected them and cast their votes for you
in the national convention Our Roosevelt
state committee has publicly declared that
it Is in sympathy with Col. Roosevelt 8

by this mornings papers l see that
William b. Mckinley, manager of your
national campaign, is claiming four dele
gates in Maryland on the ground that the
voters of two of the Maryland districts
appear to have expressed their preference
for You. l feel that the people of Mas
sachusetts have right to know whether
your forces in this state are going to re-
spect the spirit of our new law. or wheth-
er your managers are solicftious of the
wishes of the voters only in those dis
tricts where the voters express a pref
erence for you.
Il have not yet received an answer
from Gen. Champlin and the Massachu-

Very respectfully yours.

OBJECTS TO OLDFIELD BILL.
Attorney Says Proposed Revision OF
Patent Law Infringes Rights.

Branding the measure as a direct as
sault on the common law and an in
fringement of the right of individuals to
make contracts. Edward F. Edmunds or
New York, representing the A. B. Dick
Company. a mimeograph manufacturing
corporation. appeared before the House
patents committee yesterday in opposition
to the Oldfeld bill revising the patent
laws. Mr.. Edmunds devoted virtually all
his argument against the provision that
would prevent manufacturers and owners
of patented articles from compelling by
contracts the subsequent use of other
specified patented or manufactured ar
ticles in connection with the original
purchased machine or article. He said
the proposed legislation was a direct at
tack on the legitimate business of such
companies a his, the United Shoe Ma
chinery Company. and the International
Harvester Company
The committee took no action.

In an authorized interview given by
Mr.. Roosevelt to H. B. Needham anG
published in the Saturday Evening Pos

welt said
I am not a candidate for the presi-
dency and my real friends will do me a
cruel injustice to seek to make me such
I'm subsequent letter to Editor Moore
In Pittsburgh Mr.. Roosevelt said:
MY nomination would be calamity
Evidently Col. Roosevelt has passed
through all the gamut OF human emotions
since he threw his hat in the ring except
that OF 'd-e-elighted.' The trouble seems
TO be that most of his friends agree with
him that II would be a cruel calamity to
nominate him. Doubtless the colonel is
now ready to look upon their attitude as
one OF the most refined cruelty"
