FOR ONE TERM
FOR PRESIDENT
Senator Cummings, President
Pro Tenn of Senate, Favors
That Plan

CHICAGO, Aug. 6:-A federal
amendment limiting future preai-
dents to one term was advocated here
yesterday by Senator Albert B. Cum
minis, Republican, Iowa, president
pro tenn of the United States Senate.
Senator Cummins was enroute
to Washington to aid in prepara-
tions for President Harding's funeral.
"Of course President Harding
would have been renominated had
he lived" Senator Cummins said,
'but always have believed that one
term is enough. The great RESPONSE
bilities and the tremendous strain
of the office are more than any man
can stand. The President Of the
United States is required to exert
himself almost beyond the bounds
of human limitations. His cares and
worries break him down. Human
frailties are too great to stand the
strain which the presidency places
on a. man. We should limit the presi-
dent to one term. 1t might be made
a six year term, but I am not sure
about that even.
"Our theory If government that
the president should be the Chief
Executive of the nation has been ex-
tended to make him the political
leader of his party. President Hard
ing gave his life to his country and
party. His death only proves the
magnitude of the position. He was
So conscientious and yet so human
that 1t hurt him to hear criticism of
his efforts and false presumption OF
his motives and the things he had
in mind"
