FAVORS 6-YEAR TERM

Responding to Geographic inquiry
from the New York World yesterda.
Governor William Hodges Mann de-
clared that he favored an amendment
to the constitution providing for q
presidential term of six years. making
a President ineligible to reelection
but automatically appointing him a
life member of the United States Sen
ate.
The governor of Virginia went furth-
err than his wire contained to The
World IL an interview with The Nr-
Sinian.
Il believe a similar amendment
should be adopted by the states. the
retiring governor becoming life mem
Der Of the State Senate" h. added,
and also ineligible for reelection to
the 1ugernatorial chair
Such a course. he declared, would
give to the State the advantage OF the
governors insight and experience with
governmental affairs without creating
any monopoly nf public office, bn,
place him beyond political influences
and broadening and charging his du-
ties to his Commonwealth.
The World Telegram.
The telegram frou the New York
World stated:
You have. of course. noticed the
sugg of President Taft that the
presidential term be limited to sia
years. and that no President shall be
eligible to reelection. DESTROYS OF
learning the sentiment OF the country
The World is asking the nations lead
Ing men for their opinion on this pro-
position. The World would very much
appreciate II If you would kindly teie-
graph at Its expense your opinion oil
the matter"
The governors reply follows:
Il have long thought the conStitu-
ton could be 70 amended as to make
the presidential term six years. with
a provision that at the expiration OF
his term the President should be a
senator for life. and prohibited from
holding any ether effiea.~Net mere
than two or three Presidents could
ever b.. In the Senate at one time. ba,
ti-~---w etfici cxerrixg wiTufesorie and
conservative influence"
According to this amendment the
governor believes, the dignity OF a
President would be preserved. there
would be naught to swerve him from
hts htxfes: loyalty fisd honorable s+f-
vice 10 the comntrY- and IN. peollE-
Experience invaluable.
"a President or governor he stated
might serve for Years in Congress or
the Legislature. and yet when made
chief executive of the nation or State
would find an endless amount OF in
formation concerning the welfare Of
the people into which they rnight never
have gaired a real insight prior to en-
f.ring into executive authority"
The messages Presidents send to Con-
krcss. the governor further pointed
out. might not in detail contain ali
the information OF Importance IN b.
desired. Should the President beconi.
member of that body. his fund OF
s---~wiedxe concerning the various
branches Of the gcvernnIent would hs
invaluable. and could he learned frofr
him in any debate or matter Of legisla-
ton that would arise"
