THE SINGLE TERM.

Some Of the counsenors who want
Governor Wilson to Clevelandlze the
tariff plank Of the Democratic natloha'
nletform are also urging him to CleVe-
Iandize the plank favoring a single
Presidential term. Mr.. Bryan WIZ

Wilson ought to make IL clear that ne

Since Mr.. Bryan was directly respon-
OF the single term idea, be naturally
criticises The Worlds suggestion as
a temptation TO selfish ambition ana
personal bad faith. II Is true that
Governor Wilson might find some en-
couragement in the example OF Presl-
dent Cleveland, who forgot the single
term doctrine promulgated not by MS
party but by himself. In his hrst let
ter Of acceptance be declared himself
against the second term, much as the
democratic platform now does, Out
when the time came around for MS re-
nomination he did not even take the
tronble to make an explanation of the
neutrality-suspicious. sort
Navbe Governor Wilson will follow
"The Worlds" advice and say in his
speech of acceptance that the single
term idea is not his own, but Mr.
Brvan's. Yet it would be more polite
for him TO wait until after election be-
fore putting a reinterpretation on this
declaration of the platform on which
he is supposed to be standing:
We favor a single Presidential term,

an amendment 70 the Constitution

States ineligible for reelection, and we
pledge the candidate Of this convention

OF course, after election 1t may he
possible 70 split hairs over the fore
going phraseology and contend that the
principle should apply only after 1t has
become Incorporated into the COnstitu-
ton. But Mr. Bryan takes the more
reasonable position that the party urG-
ing such q reform is bound by 1t even
before its enactment Into law. 1t
would be q serious impeachment OF
Governor Wilson's sincerity II he
should attempt 10 shake off the moral
obligation not to seek a reelection I'M
posed upon him by the Baltimore plat
form. He should avail himself at
once Of the opportunity to put the
Democratic party and all its future
Presidential nominees on record as In
harmony with the sound public demand
for the limitation of any Presidents
service to q single, although possibly a
heightened, term.
