health OF ths average man elected TO

already seen one president break down

Names tho Remedy.
The people would have their remedy
in the election or a congress. If one
third OF the senate and one-half "f the
house membership were up for re-elec-
tton every two years so that tho whole
house would not change AT once any
more than the senate does now. We
would be able to elect TO Office the
nominees Of the political party oppo-
stte TO the president and this one-third
strength OF the political party in Ques-
ton would be sufficient to mako ma

on the ground that such a step would
not give them an opportunity to put
into Office for those two years a Demo
cratic president and the amendment

The chances are that an amendment
providing that tho term of tho presi-
dent after 1924 shall be for two years.
and that tho successful candidate shalt

would be much moro favorably re-
ceived and that after 1926 the first six

feet with no reelection thereafter.
The Democrats have gone on record
In one national platform in favor OF n

never specified the number Of years o.

no American president has ever, while
