CORVALLIS, ore.-The Oregon

them 41-3s here last night.
While the win held up the
Beavers title claims, it did not
install the Webfoots as anything
beyond an outside contender for
the crown. Oregon State has only
to divide its last series with Wash
ington next week to be assured
of a tie, and double victory
would put the Beavers out of any

THIRD TERM DISCUSSED BY DELEGATE DIMOND

Opposition to President Roose- velt's candidacy on the ground that he is breaking precedent in seeking a third term does not find favor with Anthony J. Di- mond, Democratic delegate in congress. In the letters to pro- minent Democrats in Fairbanks, the Delegate states his views on the third term.
 "The third term issue has al ready been considerably dis cussed, and is now being debat- ed,' the Delegate writes. Per sonally, I never could see the slightest objection to the renom- ination and reelection of MT Roosevelt because he has already served nearly two terms. After all, the voters select the Presl- dent and if they deem a Presi- dent to be deserving of third term, I cannot think of sound reason why the country should be deprived of his services. Much has been made of the adverse declaration of President Jeffrson, but it does not seem impressive. As long as popular suffrage stands-and it will stand as long as the Government endures-we have nothing to fear from the continuance in office of a Presi- dent who must be elected by the people, even though he may be nominated and elected for a third
