Under present conditions there is no force to third term opposition except where the third term follows the first and second terms continu- ouSly. The opposition arises from the repugnanoe to the use of of ficial position and administration ma ch,nevy to perpetuate the incumbency from one term to another. There can be no such use of position or machinery where a candidate, for n- luStration 's holding no office at the Jime-where a break or lapse has oc- currcd. The entire reason for third term objection disappears, because the influence of the office and the use of the administration machinery 90 to the benefit of the then in cumbent. who is seeking reelection.
 Upon neither of the grounds upon which third term objections are bas- ed, therefore, can such objections run b the candidacy of Colonel Roose- welt There is room to believe that where they are urged they are not sincere. As a matter Of cold fact, he is not seeking a third consecutive term or even a third term. He was elected President but once, and is now proposed for d second election.
