made by the ever increasing round OF
official duties. he might prefer quieter
scenes and a less strenuous life at the

existed that Mr.. Wilson would not be
candidate in the way of Mr.. Bryan in
the next national contest. This report
has bobbed up anew from time to time
but IL liz learned definitely now that Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan never have dis
cussed between themselves the second
term plank Of the Democratic national
platform.
The plank of the Baltimore platform
with reference TO the term of the Pres
ident IL as follows:
1--WE favor a single Presidential term,
and To that end we urge the adoption OF
an amendment to the Constitution To mako
the President OF the United states IN
eligible for reelection, and we pledge the
candidate OF this convention TO This
principle"
variousiy Construed.
This plank has been variously con
strued In some quarters II III regarded
as committing the candidate OF the con-
vention which framed the platform only
to an effort To secure an amendment to
the Constitution making the President In
eligible for n second term. The plank
should not apply to Mr.. Wilson, accord
ing TO this view, inasmuch as the
constitutional amendment could not
legally apply to him. even though II were
ratified during his term.
on the other hand Secretary Bryan at
various times has been credited with
placing the opposite construction upon
the commitment II has been stated that
Mr.. Bryan. who headed the platform com
mittee OF the Baltimore convention. wrote
this second term plank with the idea OF
preventing the candidate OF that conven-
ton from standing In the way OF the
Commoner's own Presidential ambitions
four years thereafter.

ton an effort led by Democrats was made
to enact resolution submitting the con-
stitutional inhibition TO n second term 20

which was known as the Fucker resolu-
ton" passed the Senate. The measure
was blocked in the House. then CON

The blocking was confidently ascribcd 70

President are known 20 have led the cloak
