CUMMNS FAvORS
ONE-TERM LIMIT
Iowa Scion Says Cares and Worries
Of the Office Break Down
President.

Chicago.-A federal amendment.
limiting future presidents to one term,
was advocated here by Senator Albert
B. Cummins, republican, Iowa, presi-
dent pro tenn of the United States
senate.
Senator Cummins was en- route to
Washington TO aid in preparations for
President Harding's funeral. He was
accompanied by Charles A. Rawson,
who was junior senator from Iowa
during the short interim between the
resignation of william S. Kenyon and
the election Of Smith w. Brookhart.
"Of course, President Harding
would have been renominated had he
lived" said Senator Cummings, but
| always have believed n term Is
enough. The great responsibilities
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 be-
yond the bounds Of human limitations.
His cares and worries break him
down. Human frailties are too great
to stand the strain which the presl-
dency places on a nan We should
limit the president to one term.
Our theory OF government that he
president should be the chief eXecu-
tive Of the nation has been extended
to make him the political leader or
his party. President Harding gave
his life to his country and party.
His death only proves the magnitude
Of the position. He was so conscien-
tious and yet so human that it hurt
him to hear criticisms Of his efforts
and false Prescriptions Of his motives
and the things he had in mind"
One of the big problems confront
ing the republican party in selecting
a presidential candidate is in deter
mining the type Of man to be nomin-
ated, Senator Cummins said.
THAT question was not in dispute
in 1920" he declared. 1T was known
definitely what type the nation needed
then and that type was ~personified in
Harding. We will have a dozen or
more candidates next year. What
type of man do we need now?"
Wisdom and propriety demand ST.
lence on the question at this time,
Senator Cummins believes.
I'VE must o first from this
terrible shock" he said. But our
next convention will be a hotly con-
tested one. The next session Of con-
gress will he tremendously important.
II President Coolidge adopts the Hard
ing policies there will be no extra ses-
sion. ! know that President Harding
had decided definitely that conditions
at this time do not warrant a special
session. The wheat and coal prob
lens are pressing and vital, but there
has been no crystallized opinion for
relief for the wheat farmer or in the
coal situation"

had just arrived from America.
Suspecting himself of being watched
by American secret agents, Bergdoll
had spent every night in a nearby
village, only coming to Eberbach to
visit relatives during the day time.
American agents had kept a Russian
duke at Bergdoll's uncle's hotel In
Eberbach many months to keep track
Of Bergdoll. When Bergdoll decided
to sleep in Eberbach Friday night
the duke gave the signal to his con
federates.
The two Frenchmen-the German
police are the authority for their
nationality-quietly slipped into Berg
dolls room at midnight. In the
desperate scuffle which ensued when
they tried to bind him. Bergdoll bit
off the thumb OF one, who was dis
abled. Then, while rocking across
the room in a desperate struggle with
the second Frenchman, he managed
TO reach his revolver on the table and
Killed him. The struggle quickly
aroused the hotel, which gave the
signal to the town police.
The automobile was reported to the
police TO be driven at breakneck speed
IN the direction Of Heidelberg and
motorcycle men were sent in pursuit.
The alarm was given to all the near
by villages.
The two Americans were brought
back to Eberbach and thrown in Jail
