The SecOnd-Term BOgy
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 At about this stage of every political campaign in which President seeks reelection somebody raises the old bogy of the second term and demands amend nlent of the Constitution to prevent the Chief Execu i've from seeking reelection. Just now MT Albert Shaw editor of Review of Reviews is bitten with the anti-second bug Describing the efforts of the Roosevelt Administration to insure reelection un- speakable and surpassng any similar phenomenon in the worlds history MT Shaw is sure that the found ing fathers if they had thought of it, would have denied the right to seek collection.
 Everyone admits between elections that there evils in the right of seeking reelection But little is to be gained by denying that right to individual. If Woodrow Wilson had been denied the right to succeed himself the Democratic party in 1916 would have used it's power to put another Demo- CIat into office.
 If MT. Roosevelt forbidden to stand for an oher term, the vast expenditure of the government would have helped to reelect another Democrat pos sbly to act MT Roosevelts proxy. Some countries do deny their Presidents the right to seek reelection That leads them to their parties to elect who will act agents of the strong men" denied re- election Thus they get the puppets of their political bosses into their highest public offices
 The only way to prevent the party in power from using it's influence and it's command of the public purse to perpetuate itself in power would be deny that party the right to enter candidates after it has enjoyed four years at the trough. Such proposal would of course be tantamount to constitutional provision giving the control of the nation to the po- tcal parties alternately. What MT. Shaw evidently meant to criticize President Roosevelt's use of public power to aid his reelection What he really attacks is the very essence of party government.
 There plenty of grounds for opposing the re- election of MT Roosevelt in his policies and methods without raising the second-term bogy again It is little thin

THE 1882 TREND OVER AGAIN

There seems to be no question about it. With but six weeks remaining before the November cleo ton in the States the Republicans two up on the Democrats. They carried Maine, and approximately 100000 votes in the Literary Digest poll gives them two to one lead It may not be just cricket we believe the English call it. to reiterate but it is ntere-.ing to note again that the political wind blows in much the same direction as it did in 1882
 As stated previously. MT Hoover four years ago carried the state of Maine and its five electoral for President Also. four years ago, MT. Hoover was far out ahead in the first returns from the Literary Digest poll, a margin by the way, of about two to one similar margin to the one that Governor Landon now holds in the latest report of the Digest
 Scattered returns from nine States have been received in the poll and it is significant that MT Roosevelt leads in but two states-Oklahoma and Texas southern states, part of that great solid south which usually is credited in the Democratic column MT. Landon's strength appears to lie in the east anc middle west Indiana, New Jersey and New York being listed to his credit thus far in the poll which the Digest hastens to explain, is based only scattered returns.
 That the returns are sparse from New York par hcularly is apparent when it is noted that but about 100000 votes have been returned in all and gre tel New York City alone has something like 70oO0o( inhabitants, great many of them voters, who never were able to find any particular for having 1ecPuDiiedH party, So uduitioudly nave they VOleC Democratic either for against Tammany, rarely for against the Republican party.
 In this connection it is interesting to further that in the recent primary election in New York state the fight in New York City between the Inde- pendents and Tammany, the former placing most of their candidates It might well be added that this was merely an interparty contest It is safe gamble that the two factions will rally like their fathers before them to the national Democratic banner when

Business And The MIRA

The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has apparently learned nothing and forgotten nothing It was one of the parents of the NRA and for few months unmistakably proud of the fact
 Regulated competition by its very definition means monopoly Under the MIRA various monopo- listc practices instituted and encouraged in the name of fair competition" The chamber could have no quarrel with this aspect of NA for it now ask ing that these practices be revived Nor did it have legitimate quarrel with the administration over governmental interference, for the New Deal strengthened rather than hampered monopostic practices How, then, is the chambers attitude to be its objective is monopoly without social reSponsihility2 ". !. ssANEar

ISHARKEY SCORES
 DRAW IN BOUT AGAINST SHUCCO
Referee FavOrs Former Champ But Last Round
 ImpresSes Judges
BY FRANK MURPHY


 United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Boston, April 15-Jach Sharkey's talk of a quick knockout was just a broken promise today and the onetime heavyweight champion had only a draw with Tony Shucco, pride of the north end. to spur him along the comeback trail.
 Although Referee Johnny Brassil thought Jack had landed the more telling blows during their hotly- contested Hereunder at the Gar den last night, Judges Francis Bowman and James Carrig both called, it a draw so, by a 2 to l vote, a draw it was. Sharkey thus failed to atone for his defeat at Shucco's hands in the same ring a few months ago, and Tony clung to his New England heavyweight title.
 Some $500 persons-including ringside Red Sox delegation headed by Tom Yawkey, Jimmy Foxx, Joe Cronin and the Terrell brothers watched the splendidly conditioned but slow-moving Sharkey strive from the opening bell for a kayo only to have the lighter, vastly faster Shucco evade his opponents haymakers and jab his way to a draw. At 182, Tony had given away 16 pounds to his bulky doe.
 Sharkey fought effectively in close and had Jack not wasted so much time to get across knock out swing he might have amased enough points to win. His short left uppercuts snapped Tony's head back time and again, and in body belting Jack had the better of it.
 As in their previous meeting, Shucco's left jab to head and mid- riff was his best weapon. But Shar- key was boring in and pulling his opponent too much to let Tony sharpshoot to best advantage.
 Sharkey showed temper in the third round, taking a crack at Shucco coming out of a clinch be- cause he thought Tony had been shooting low punches deliberately. The ninth, when Tony stunned Jack with a hard right to the jaw only to be staggered by counter attack, was perhaps the best round. It was Sharkey's fight then, but Tony's 10th-round rally evenen the score. Gross receipts for the show were $13,203 and net receipts $10,647.
