HAS SEEN %
PRESIDENTS ELECTED

Muscatine, Nov. 9.-The election Of
Woodrow Wilson to the presidency
marks the twenty.third president un-
der which Mrs. Sallie George, one Of
the oldest residents Of Muscatine, has
lived. The south end nonagenarian
celebrated her Gath birthday anniver-
stry this month but despite her great
age is able to perform her accustomed
duties daily. Affectionately known In
this section of the city as Grand
mother George" she makes almost;
daily visits to friends residing in the
vicinity Of her home at 1911 Nebraska
street, where she lives with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Albert Wilson.
Mrs. George is in excellent health
while her eyesight is so good that
she peruses the Muscatine Journal
each evening considering it day
wasted when the evening newspaper
is not given her. II have read the
Journal ever since about 1850 when It
was changed from the Bloomington
Herald she remarked. II have re-
ceived the Journal regularly since it
was first published under that name.
On frequent occasions the venerable
woman reads the news Of the day
aloud to her daughter.
For the last sixty years, Mrs.
George has made Muscatine county
her home. She was born IN Johns
ton, Oneida county, New York, In 1918.
That she will live to be one hundred
years old is confidently believed by her
unless some accident should befall
her. It is not at all unusual for her
to walk considerable distances while
occasionally she visits the business
section of. the city alone.

but that whether you will be again a

certain.
Permit me, as one who has opposed
your recent candidacy, to suggest that,
in my belief, but for the immovable
opposition to the third term by the
American people generally there
would have been no actual division
in the republican national convention
at Chicago and that so-called pro-
gressive candidate would have been
nominated and elected. l further be.

Doubtless it would be found impos-
sible in the very nature of things, even
if you desired, for you to avoid leader
ship, but you can solemnly renounce
such candidacy and make that re-
nunciation effective by giving your
powerful support to the proposed
amendment to the constitution con-
tinuing the presidential term.s as, now
fixed, at four years, with possibility
of one reelection and prohibiting
eligibility of an incumbent after hav-
ing held the office for any part Of
two terms.
Probably no single term, whether
long or short, would be ratified by the
people. and to submit such an amend
ment might invite defeat Of any
amendment whatever and leave the
third term threat still open to dis.
turb the future Of the republic.

You'd eight years. For the first time

this, as SO many believe, revolutionary
issue into practical politics. To

issue will hold prominence with the
