House Committee Decides It
InadvisabIe to Take Up
Presidential Tenure Now.

The whole question OF ineigibili,y of
Presidents for reelection was shifted
over TO the next Congress. so far as the
House is concerned, in action taken by
the House committee on the Judiciary
TO-DAY.
Tie committee adopted a resolution de-
clarlng that it was nadvisable to take
up at this session either the Senate reso-
luton the Works measure. which would
have affected the eligibility of Roosevelt
Taft or Wilson to reelection, or any
other measure regarding presidential ell
gibility for reelection.
The question was brought up at a spe-
cial meeting of the judiciary committee,
when it talked over both the Works bill.

Politics Figures in Discussion.

Presidential politics figured in the dis
cussion that led to the committees ta-
bling of the plan for leeisla ton regarding
ineligibilty This ccntered around the
idea that the Senate resolution would act
as bar to Presidents Roosevelt. Taft
and PreSsident-elect Wilson in aEy aspira-
tons they might have for recollection, and
Representative Norris OF Nebraska. from
the republican side and number of the
democrats objected to the personal equa-
ton, they expressed it, in the Senate
proposition.
The Clayton resolution obviated this,
but the committee decided with only a
slight opposition. that 1t was too late IN
the session to press such legislation and
that as the matter of inclisibility was one
of the issues on which the last pres-
Dental campaign was fought the men,
bers Of the next House should have a
free hand in any such legislation.
The democrats had caucused on their
plans Just before the meeting and Repre-
sentative Norris made a vigorous protest
against the republicans being held up for
an hour after the committee meeting time
while the majority talked behind closed
doors.

The calling by Chairman McCombs OF

For some time Mr.. McCombs has had
under consideration conflicting sugges-

wanted him 10 so into the cabinet. a
proposition which did not altogether ap-
peal to him. mainly on account of his
fragile health and unwillingness to tie
himself down to the arduous duties con-
sequent upon holding portfolio in a

Think He Has Been Waiting.

Many members of Congress believe that
Mr.. Wilson has been holding off the an
nouncement of his cabinet personnel until
after the official declaration oc his cleo
ton Therefore many believe Thursday
will see the announcement Of the heads of
the nine executive departments.
1t is further argued that MI. Wilson
held his conferences over cabinet material
some weeks ago and that such confer
ences seem to be no longer u part OF Mr.
Wilson's daily routine. Since the confer
ences he has had time to revolve the
problems around in his mind and come to
decisions. He also has 1t is pointed out,

The fact that the electoral vote is to
