Bryan and zone Term

To the Editor of The Star:
The editorial in The Star, June IA,
calling attention to Mr.. Bryan's op-
position to a second term for the
President, does not give the entire
history of Mr.. Bryan's activities in
of the Fifty-third Congress Repre-
sentative William j. Bryan introduced
three separate resolutions to amend
the Constitution and limit the Presi-
dent to one term. Those resolutions
were referred to the judiciary COM
mittee of the House and never re-
ported back to the House. That was
little more than year before Mr..
Bryan was nominated for President by
the democratic convention of 1896, and
the platform enunciated by that con-
vention failed to mention the candi-
dates one-term resolutions for amend
ing the Constitution. but did declare
that no President should be eligible
for third term. hitting indirectly at
the then democratic President, Grover
Cleveland. who was serving his Sec
ond term. Mr.. Bryan was again the
candidate of his party in 1900, and
his platform failed to make reference
to even a third term, as did his plat
form in 1908.
1t was not until the democratic con-
vention met in Baltimore in 1912 and
Mr.. Bryan was a member Of the COM
mittee on resolutions that he remem-
bered his one-term amendments to the
idea in the democratic platform on
which Woodrow Wilson was to go
before the people. Mr.. Bryan's op
position to second term or a third
term apparently applies to the other
fellow. L. w. BUSBEY.

tinued Mr.. Keating, the only member
of the commission in town today.
| Here is a man who is being punished
for presenting evidence given him, "
| he said. referring to Mr.. Blassingham.
A telegram was received BY the Ma

ployes from Senator Spencer, in Mis-
souri, assuring the federation that he
