now apprise you of the resolution
I have formed, to decline being con-
sidered among the number of those,
out Of whom choice is to be made. u
These words will be read today in
the Senate-but they are not the
words of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
They are the words of George Wash
ington, first President of the United
States, contained in his farewell
address to the American people.
This address was written pri-
marily by Washington to eliminate
himself as a candidate for a third
term in the White House. 1t was
never read by President Washington
in public. 1t was printed in Clay
poole's American Daily Advertiser
In Philadelphia, September 10, 1796
No Party Conventions Preceded.
The election Of a new President
took place later in 1796-but the
first President did not give the
voters a very long, period in which
to settle on some other man. The
elections in those days, however
were not preceded by national party
conventions, at which candidates for
the presidential and vice presi-
Dental nominations were 'nomi-
mated" States of presidential
electors were chosen in the States
and the electors later met and cast
their ballots for the presidential
choice.
Washington's farewell address
containing plenty of good advice tc
his fellow citizens, is invariably read
in the halls Of Congress on each an
niversary of the first Presidents
birth. And much emphasis will be
placed on it today-as the country
waits for some statement from the
present incumbent of the White
House, who has been importuned tt
break the precedent established by
Washington when the latter declined
to run for third term.
Il beg you, at the same time,
continued George Washington, "tc
do me the justice to be assured, that
this resolution (not to run AGAIN.
has not been taken without a strict
regard to all the considerations ap.
pertaining to the relation which
binds a dutiful citizen of his
country-and that, in withdrawing
the tender of service which silence
in my situation might imply, am
influenced by no diminution Of zeaI
for your future interest, no deficiency
OF grateful respect for your past
kindness: but am supported by a full
conviction that the step is compatible
with both"
Realizes Inference From Silence.
1t is clear Gen. Washington real
lied that as long as he made NO
statement, the people would consider
him a candidate for reelection to
the presidency. 1t is quite certain
that a great many people today con-
slider President Roosevelt a candi-
date-because he has remained
silent, even though his name has
been entered in several of the presi-
Dental preferential primaries-as for
example in Wisconsin and Illinois.
President Washington's successors
in the White House have not ad-
dressed farewells to the American
people, even though several of them,
like Washington, have declined to
allow themselves to be considered
for third term election. President
Roosevelt, If he determines finally to
announce he will not run again,
might take a leaf out of the first
Presidents book, and deliver a mes
sage to the people. President Wash
ington felt it incumbent upon him
to explain to the people that he

Moronville Scooped Club
On Firing of Himself.

There is only one Cub manager
on record who beat his employers

Maranville, better known as the
Rabbit.
During a short spell of rainy
weather in the summer of 1925 the
Rabbit found himself managing the
Cubs. He put his ear to the ground
and reached judicious conclusion.
One day the Cub fans, arriving at
the ball park, found small citizen

Terry Trying So Hard

Special Correspondent of The Star.

Special Correspondent OF Ihe star.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The news
that Charles Leo Hartnett, the Cab
Der, will be freighted East next
spring to take hand in the coach
ing of the New York Giants has
started up that old smoldering re-
port that William Harold Terry, the
Giant manager, is planning to re-
place himself.
Two years ago William let it be
known that he was good for some
thing besides managing from the
bench and wrangling white-faced
cattle. Briefly, he wanted an office
upstairs, from which, with or with
out the title OF vice president, he
could guide all the operations of the
Giants and their farm clubs.
This would mean new manager
in the dugout, in charge of field
strategy, and Mr.. Terry thought well
of Hartnett. who had just won a
pennant with the Cubs.
Under the arrangement that Mr.
Terry is said to have pined for
William would be the admiral and
Gabby would be the captain of the
flagship. A slight hitch developed,
however, when Horace Stoneham

came out with the firm statement:

Two of the Kiefer records shatter

extraordinary is that he eclipsed his
