Show THE PRESIDENT AND ANOTHER TERM. Many journals and men are speculating over whether the people will not insist upon the reelection re-election of President Roosevelt in 1908. This has come of course through the fact that the President's influence in bringing around a treaty of peace between Russia and Japan has made him, for the time at least, the central figure in the eyes of all mankind. It is a waste of effort. It will be more than three years before another presidential election; much may happen in three years. The President then may be dead, or, worse for his fame, he may make some mistakes which popular and partisan fury will not condone. Again, the President is as resolute as he is ambitious, am-bitious, and if he three years hence believes the measure of his fame is full, he will not take another chance and would not run even if on more than one occasion since his election he had not declared de-clared that he would' not again become a candidate. candi-date. The matter had better rest. |
