OPPOSED TO ONt-TERhh
LNDBERaH WOULD LET PEOPLE
RETAIN EXECUTIVE AS L0N0
AS DESIRED

r Washington, Jan. 21.-Opposing ain
bills to limit the term Of the presidents
to six years, with only one ternr
Representative Lindbergh today sub
mitted to the committee on election OF
president and vice president his VIEWS
on the matter.
Mr. Lindbergh believes Congress-
should not show distrust Of the people
by depriving them Of the right to elect
for a second term anyone who in their
opinion has filled the office successful
ly. The people cannot be bamboozled
by trading in federal patronage, he
says.
-Four years is long enough for .
president to give evidence Of his ca-
pacity to fill the office to the satisfae-
tion of the people," he continues,
"and if he fails to do that, two moror
years would be a wrong. IF satisfac-
tory they may re-elect president a.
often as they please"
Mr.. Lindbergh pointed out that the
use Of patronage was a feeble weapon
in the hands Of president, and cite6
the defeat Of President Taft, whom her
charged with having made "a fagane
misuse Of the appointed power, as an
illustration. He also declared that al
though progressives had been deprived
Of patronage by the administration it
had not prevented their reelection.

REV. ATKINSON ATTENDS MEET.
ING AT ST. PAUI-TO FORM
STATE ASSOCIATION

Rev. Frank Atkinson returned
Wednesday night from st. Paul where
he went in response to an invitation
from Governor Eberhardt, as repre-
sentative Of the local council Of. ''boy
scouts'' to attend a meeting at the st.
Paul Commercial club rooms Of dele
cations from all parts; of the state,
with regard to forming state or.
ganization. The governor took the
chair during the beginning Of the
meeting but later turned it over to
Judge Wilson Of Saltwater as he had
to keep an appointment to speak be-
fore the Grand lodge Of the Masons in
st. Paul.
Articles for organization were sub.
mitted to the local councils for rat1.
fication. Many of the cities in the state
having organized bodies Of boy scouts
were represented by the scoutmaste1
or by the senator or representative
from their district who are in the
capitol city.
It is alleged that the New York or.
ganization is unable to intelligently
take care of the western organization
as they are not cognizant Of their
needs.
Rev. Atkinson states that there is
no doubt in his mind that state or
ganization will be formed.
St. Cloud and this city are the only
cities in this neighborhood that were
represented at the meeting Wednes
