election to the office when he said:
THE wise custom which limits the
president TO two terms regards the
SUBSTANCE and not the form. and
under no circumstances will 1 be a
candidate for or accept another nom

There is an interesting coincidence
between the announcements of Jeffer
son and Roosevelt concerning this
third term matter. Like Roosevelt,
Jefferson made his first announcement
that he would not accept third term
term but before that term had begun,
for be it borne in mind that in Sub
stance Mr. Roosevelt had served
practically a full presidential term be-
fore he was elected to the office. But
there the parallel ceases in the atti-
tudes of Roosevelt and Jefferson on
the third term. Four years after the
end OF his second term when Jefferson
was importuned to be candidate for
the presidency again he held that an
did not in any way
affect the third term principle. Four
years after the end of his second term
when Roosevelt was importuned to be
a candidate again for the presidency
he said in effect: 'Sure. Why not?"
And he waived aside his former an
that he would under no
be a candidate for
third term by saying that he meant he
would not be a candidate for a third |
consecutive term.

AS TO A THIRD TERM.

! Not long ago the Wichita Beacon
had an exceedingly labored editorial
which purported to prove beyond per-
| adventure the contention that George
washington was not opposed to the
possibility or the principle of a man
being chosen as president of these
! United States for third term If
memory serves correctly, this editorial
went so far as to declare that wash
ington did not refuse third term.
There have been other newspaper sup
porters of Colonel Roosevelt who
have urged the same thing, that
Washington never went on record spe-
officially as being opposed to a third
term Maybe these contentious are
correct. But
Thomas Jefferson, the third presi-
dent of the United States, lived dur
ing the days of George Washington.
He was in close touch with all of the
public affairs of that period. After
Jefferson had been elected to the pres
idency the second time, but before the
end of his first term, he wrote: Gen
eral Washington set the example of
voluntary retirement after eight years
1 shall follow it. and a few more
precedents will oppose the obstacle of
habit to any one after a while who
shall endeavor to extend his term
When Jefferson's second term was
about to expire he was urged to be
candidate for election to the presi-
dency for a third term. His reply to
these suggestions was couched in the
following language:
"If some termination of the services
of the chief magistrate be not fixed
1Ty he nv
practice, his Office, nominally for four
years, will, in fact, become for life,
and history shows how easily that de-
generates into an inheritance. I should
unwillingly be the person who, dis
regarding sound precedent set by an
iIlustrous predecessor, should furnish
the first example of prolongation be-
yond the second term of Office
Both of these remarks of Jeffer-
son would tend to prove conclusively
that George Washington not only was
opposed to the principles of a third
term but that he also established a
precedent against it by declining to
take one. Or perhaps Thomas Jeffer-
son was not as well informed in the
premises as the Wichita Beacon and
other more modern interpreters of
American history.
And while this matter is being dis
cussed it may be interesting to note
also that four years after Thomas JEFF
ferson retired from the presidency at
the conclusion of his second term of
service, d movement was begun to
nominate him again for the presidency
He brushed it aside. He held that the
interregnum did not in any way af-
feet the third term principle and that
eight years was to be considered the
limit any one man might occupy the
presidency.
Many of Colonel Roosevelt's friends
are putting up the rather specious
argument that s a matter of fact he
has only had one term of his own as
president, having been elected to the
office but once by the people. TIE

of many of the politicians. One prohib-
