FOR SIX YEARS ONLY
Proposed Limitation of the
Presidential Term.
BILLS BEFORE CONGRESS
Objection in House Sends Measure
Over to Next Session.
POLITICAL DEBATE IN SENATE
Proceedings Enlivened by Pointed
References to Woodrow Wilson
and Theodore Roosevelt.
POLITICAL DEBATE IN SENATE

The Clayton bill to amend the federal
presidential term of six years was
noon, but on objection by Representa-
tive Cooper of Wisconsin the measure
was sent over to the winter session Of
Congress. Mr. Cooper was waiting for
it to be reached on the calendar Of
bills on which unanimous consent was
necessary, and he fired his objection
instantly across the chamber Mr.. Clay
ton sought Intellectually to get in a
word of explanation. and the Speaker
had to remind him that his bill had
been objected to.
The Senate was plunged into a politi-
cal debate yesterday when that body
took up the Works bill for single six
year term for President.
Senator Borah Quotes Wilson.
Senator Borah read from one of Gov.
Wilson's works. to show that the demo-
cratic candidate had favored long ten
ure of the presidential office.
The governor has Endorsed the Bal
timore PLATFORM said Senator VIII
liams, democrat.
He may yield to his PLATFORM. but l
doubt if he yields his judgment" said
Senator Borah.
Il think the senator will admit re-
tOrted Senator Williams, that Wood
row Wilson has never written more
recklessly than Theodore Roosevelt
IF the colonel has written some things
which he ought not to have written re-
piled Senator Borah, ''he has written a
great many things for which the public
is indebted to him.
Seantor Williams declared Gov. Wilson
has never said anything unkind about
the men who had been Presidents of the
United States since its foundation
Il offer good $3.50 chrome to any one,
he said, "Who will show me any comment
made by Col. Roosevelt of any President,
except Abraham Lincoln and himself,
which was in any way complimentary"
Senator Williams Substitute.
Senator Williams proposed constitu-
tional amendment a substitute to the
Works resolution, limiting President to
two terms of four years each. He said
this would be more in accord with the
spirit Of the founders of the Constitution.
He declared there had been only two men
with '.audacity' enough to go outside
the established precedent of two terms.
One was Gen. Grant, who was rebuked
by his own party said the senator.
The other one is rather a recent Incl
dent" he continued, but l think 1t will
not be found at all difficult to take care
of him
The sx-year-term resolution split the
insurgent and progressive ranks of the
republicans. Senators Cummins, Works,
Borah and others advocated ii. while
Senators Clapp, Crawford and Bristow
argued against it,

FOR $4,000 APPROPRIATION.
Resolution Relates to Shoshone
Project Claims.

A direct appropriation of ST. 600 to re-
imburse persons who furnished supplies
and labor to the contractor on the Cor
bett irrigation tunnel in the Shoshone
project, Wyoming, was authorized yes
terday afternoon in a resolution pre-
scented by Senator Myers.
President Taft recently vetoed a bill
which would have required the govern
ment to pay these claims and levy the
amount upon the settlers lands in the
vicinity. The Senate passed the bill over
his veto but it failed OF repassage in the
House.
The claims are the outgrowth of the
failure of the contractor before the irri-
cation work was completed.

WILSON IS INTERESTED
IN CAUSE OF CLERKS
Democratic Nominee inquiries
Concerning Conditions in
Government Service.

Woodrow Wilson, Democratic presiden-
tial nominee is interested in the effort to
secure more pay for the government
clerks, and has written Fulton r. Gordon
letter in which he asks for data on the
subject that he may take the matter up
for study these cool evenings at the little
White House at Seagirt, y. ].
In inclosing him the requested informa-
ton Mr. Gordon has suggested that Con-
gress should provide for the appointment
by the President of a board of inquiry
with unlimited power to manage, direct
pay and do everything necessary" to
make Uncle Sam the model employer of
the world.
1T is very poor policy" says Mr.. Cor
don, for the politicians to cry from the
housetops that they are friends of the
working man and at the same time do
not prove their sincerity by showing
their friendship for the government work
ing forces"

Aunt Sally'S Advice
to Beauty Seekers

thick-skinned, goosepimply and muddy.
I can't wear short sleeves. How can
this condition be overcome" Don't use
elbows as props. The treatment recon-
mended to Minnie l.. will make your ell
bows quite presentable.
Ellen II. asks: What should ] do for
deep lines under my eyes and across my
forehead!' Such lines. and all wrinkles,
best obliterated by bathing affected
portions In a good astringent and tonic
lotion, which strengthens and draws In
the relaxed tissue. Here's reliable
formula 1 ounce powdered saxolite, "a

Refers to Gag Order.

He also points out to the democratic
nominee that under republican admins
trations increased pay has been given the
army, navy, cabinet, Supreme Court and
other federal judges as well as senators
and representatives. but when the clerks
cried for relief Roosevelt signed a gag
law with penalty of dismissal if they
petitioned their representative without the
written consent of their department
head
Mr.. Gordon also pointed out that print
ed matter should be sent to all the demo-
cratic public speakers showing how the
republicans had treated the government
employees and how the higher officials had
bettered their own conditions.
In conclusion he told Gov Wilson that
as 1t costs the government about 5000,
OoO.oOO annually to pay the civil employees,
an amount which is more than half If the
total cost OF maintaining the entire
governmental establishment, 1t there
fore should receive his most important
consideration.

Gov. Wilson says:
