WARN WHITMAN
OF Sd TERM BEE
BE Governor and Forget
About 1915" Friends
Tell Him

Iron stan Correspondent Of Tho Tribune
Albany. Jan. S.-"Be Governor and
forget about 1918"
That is the substance Of quiet TN
that has been passed to Governor Whit
man by some of his close personal ana
political friends. It refers. OF course,
TO the third term bee that has been
buzzing around the executive chamber
since November T. Nobody who pre-
tends to speak for the Governor denies
il is a welcome bug in those quarters,
and the Governor himself has no in
tention of raising hand to shoe 1t
away.
So much prominence has been sc-
corded the insect, however, that, some
Of the Governors we'll wishers have
taken it upon themselves to warn him
Of the danger Of getting "stung.' They
have told him frankly but in friendly
sort Of way that the bee may not be
as tame as il looks. And il was learned
to-day, when the Presidential electors
gathered in Albany to cast their ballots
for Hughes and Fairbanks, that the
advice came from such friendly sources
that Governor Whitman could not well
afford to overlook its significance.
What Whitman's Friends Fear
Two things in particular are feared
by those who want to see the Governor
realize his third term ambition, but
who think it unwise for him to give
any indication that II IS mis- guide post.
One is that Whitman might put IN
jeopardy his own chances By keeping
his eve on 1918 and the other Is the
fact that the Whitman organiza-
ton in the Legislature is known TO be
watching diligently for a chance to
thwart any plan the Governor has IN
mind which would help him toward
bigger political things.
"There is no doubt" said national
Republican leader to-day, that Whit
man will be a contender four years
from now and that he thinks third
term would be a good stepping stone
20 a Presidential nomination. The
best thing he can do, though, is TO be
Governor and let the third term propo-
sition take care Of itself. | have told

OF nearly 100000 men, who arc now

her greatest military power long
