declared that he would not accept a

should come under such circumstances

The House took no chances and passed
almost unanimously a resolution that a

Theodore Roosevelt's Statement,
Theodore Roosevelt emphatically an
nounced in 1904 that he would not ac-
cept third term-and tried to get it in
1912. On election night in 1904 he issued
statement:
"On the 4th of March next I shall
have served three and a half years and
that three and half years constitutes
my first term. The wise custom which
limits the President to two terms regards
the substance and not the form, and
under no circumstances will I be candi-
date for or accept another nomination" I"
Wilson, who defeated Taft and Roose-
welt, was no believer in a fixed presiden-
tial term. He opposed a constitutional
amendment for single six-year term,
and had he not been ill in 1920 he prob
ably would have sought denomination
and reelection in hopes of securing
popular vindication of his efforts in be-
half of the League of Nations.
Coolidge probably could have been
renominated and reelected in 1928 if
he had pursued Franklin D. Roosevelts
methods of mystery and silence instead
OF announcing in August, 1927, that he
did not choose to run. There are many
In Washington and elsewhere who believe
Coolidge would have accepted a third
nomination, if offered, but would not lift
his hand to get it.
Ihe election this year, regardless of
the other issues of the campaign, will be
regarded as a plebiscite on the third
term question. If Roosevelt wins, the
l44-year-old tradition will be relegated
to the ancient folklore together with
memories OF days when annual Federal
appropriations were less than a billion
dollars; If he is defeated, it will be long.

fight to limit tenure. His rival, Alexander
Hamilton, a monarchist, had sought to
have the Chief Executive elected by

talents or merits would entitle him to

 Hartford President

Hartford, Conn, May 22-(UP)- The Connecticut State Medical so- ciety today arranged for an ex. haustive study of sickness insur- ance policies, with Q view to having them guarantee payment for hos- pital and medical service.
 Some policies, the society was told at It's annual convention, do not include these provisions and consequently offer "another prob- lem" in the socialized medicine field. The convention directed e committee to confer May % with insurance officials to discuss 6 low cost policy which would be all-in- elusive.
 The convention, which adjournS e three-day session Thursday, post- poned action on a resolution favor- ing intervention by the society in behalf of repeal of the states 60- year-old anti-birth control law. Eight years ago the society pro- posed changes in the statute, but amendments were rejected by the legislature.
 Constitutionality of the law was upheld several months ago by the state supreme court, resulting in the closing of eight birth control clin- les throughout the state.
 The convention has elected Dr. Arthur B. Landry, Hartford, as president, and confirmed pr. James D. Gold, Bridgeport, as president elect to take office in May 194l.

REAL ESTATE
SALES OF WEEK
Three Home Properties
Change Hands In
Continued Buying Squirt

Residence property transfers con-
tinued in a milder furry this week
the pace set some weeks ago, but
it continues to mark the greatest
activity in the home buying mar
ket in Sank Centre for {. number
Of years, it was reported.
This week three purchases OF
home properties were reported with
two on a single block on Maple
Street between Bird and End, and
the possibility for a third, it was
learned.
Angle on the event is the pur-
chase of the home that is known
as the boyhood home of Sinclair
Lewis, the city's noted author son,
and the home of the late DR.. and
Mrs. E. J. Lewis.
The property, facing Third Street
near Maple, owned by c. w. Rot
ert, now of Minneapolis, was
acquired by Louis T. Lovik. Mr.,
Lovik becomes the second owner
of the property since the late DR.
Lewis death. On Maple Street
Louis Huber bought the Conklin
property and house at PA.
Paul Telling has acquired the
property at Pine and Second

SAUK CENTRE HERALD, Sank Centre, Mimi.

Void Chamberlain airport and the
departments at the Minnesota State
Capitol, at st. Paul, concluded the
tour.
Especially enthusiastic over the
educational purposes of such trip
are instructors Mr.. Rasmussen and
Mr.. Knutsen as well as principal
Of the Junior high school, Miss
Clifford Everhart.
Purpose of the tour so far as his
group is concerned, Rasmussen, in
charge of general science course
said, is to supplement this prac-
teal first hand knowledge with the
book Of knowledge of the class
room, and to integrate scientific
principles they have learned with
their application to modern bust
ness. General science, he explain
ed, is an applied science.
George Knutsen, in charge of
business relations and occupation
guidance, a new feature in the ed
ucational plan, was especially en-
thusiastic over the tour. Mostly
it's broadening" he said. It'll give
them a brief insight, perhaps help
them select a vocation"
He was especially interested in
the tours arranged through the
radio station and the newspaper
plants. They're all familiar with
radio and with newspaper" he said.
1T should have a tremendous
effect"
Less specifically interested in one
or two course supplements, Miss
whose enthusiastic inter-
ests in this new correllary to edu-
cation gave impetus to the tours
promotion a year ago, was apply
ing principles more broadly. She
feels that to some who never get
a chance to see the large cities it's
broadening. 1t takes them
beyond their own community.
Occupation guidance is quite a
new effort in local schools. It was
begun under Mr.. Knutsen two years
ago. Already students are finding
the 12-weeks course on some 1850
and professions a help.
I'VE haven't the outlines we need
to be complete on this study" Mr..
Knutsen pointed out, "but we do
have a start" This year a COM
series was introduced as
a followup to senior students. Bus
mess men of the city lectured to
senior students on local aspects Of
their vocation.
