HOUSE FAILS TO
co ON RECORD
As To Presidential Third TERMS
Motion For Suspension of Rules is
Forced to Be Withdrawn.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The House
Of Representatives Monday avoided
going On record on Presidential third
terms Just at the moment when the
Slayden resolution, aimed primarily
at Colonel Roosevelt. seemed abou.
to pass a shrewd parliamentary .u?I:
displaced the measure from further
consideration. It may be revived Ia
ter in the session, but its position
of vantage on the House calendar
was lost.
Mr.. SIayden. a Texas Democrat,
introduced the resolution a week ago.
He sought to express the "opinion CT
the House that the example of Wash
ington. in retiring after second
term, had. by universal concurrence,
become the time-honored custom OF
the country. a violation of which
would be fraught with peril to our
free irst;tu.;c~s"
The resolution was called up Mon
day. Suspension of the rules was
required to pass the measure and to
suspend the rules a second had
| to be considered as ordered. Mr. ..
Sims, Of Tennessee. objected to the
second" and vote by tellers on
ordering this parliamentary move was
| necessary. The Republicans, in a
| hurried conference. had determined
not to vote on the resolution, thus
putting the Democrats in the posi-
ton of passing the measure by q
party vote and, in the opinion of a
number of them, indicating a feaI
of Roosevelt as the Republican nom-
inee.
| Hence the bulk of the Democrats
| decided not to vote for a "secOnf
and it was defeated 90 to II.
With SECOND defeated Mr.
Slayden was forced. amid a burst
of applause to withdraw the motion
fer suspension of the rules. The
resolution was returned to the Com
mittee on Elections.
