THIRD TERM BOOZE.

on Nov. s. 1904. President r. lseSeii
issued this statement as 10 his political
intentions: ION the 9Th Of March next
shall have served three and "A hall
years. and this three and a half years
constitute my first term. The wise
custom which limits the president To
two terms regards the substance. and
not the form. and under no circum p
stances will be a candidate for or ac q
cept another nomination"
on Dec. IL. 1907. he confirmed this
by this rciteration; II have not
changed and shall not change that de-
cision thus announced"
Both OF these statements were the
consequence of the then political con-
ditions Both referred TO a third con-
secutive term and TO nothing else.
In 1904 there was the bubble which
was made much of by the Democrats.
as TO whether. II Mr.. Roosevelt was
elected to succeed himself. it would
be his second or his first term. and II

Gus wildeyed. obstreperous distnrber
Of the peace, would not. IL elected. de
clare it his first term. and take, an
other election at the point OF the ba-
yonet or in some such violent form.
He put all that sort of rot abso-
lutely at rest for the time being, but
for the time being only
At the close Of this second term
il was conceded that he could have
a denomination. not by asking, but
by merely consentng to take it. To
stop this. he not only reiterated his
former statement as quoted. but said
il nominated he would refuse to ac-
cept. and even then he had to keep
in touch with the convention TO be
sure he would not be drafted.
II Theodore Roosevelt had been an
xious TO serve again as president. IL he
had had any dreams of Dictatorship.
il he had any hankering for the office,
it's power or it's glories as a personal
adjunct he could have been president
now for the taking. and MIR. Taft
would have been on the supreme court
bench. His action then stamps all
the talk now as TO his possible cleo
tion in 1912, being a menace to the
country's liberties, as the mere below
ing OF politics.
But neither then nor at any time in
history has there been any tradition
custom, rule or precedent against a
third term other than third conse-
cutive term. Washington, who is al
ways cited, distinctly said in his fare

CLAIM BUREAUS BUSY.

Not TO be outdone by the Roosevelt
claim bureau the Taft campaign man
ayers come 10 the front with the as
sertion that nine governors are for thu
denomination Of the president, which
is one better than the number that
have declared for the nomination OF
the man from oyster Bay.
IT will be noted that among the Taft
list Of governors are the names OF
lsberhardt Of Minnesota and Carroll OF
Iowa. Now both Minnesota and Iowa
are insurgent states. In Minnesota
sentiment Is very much anti-Taft La
