Show Hj WILSON FOR A THIRD TERM Hj The trend of events' "indicate very Hj plainly that President Wilson will try Hi for a third term. Having been first elect- H ed on a platform declaring for one term Hi the democratic pro-am of contradictions Hi and inconsistencies could not possibly be Hi complete without the one term advocate Hj trying for a third term. And after having H lived so long and enjoyed so much of H the royal .society where blood, instead of H individual worth dominates, it would real- H' ly be cruel to deny the President the H privilege of tr.yipg at least for a third H 'term. H But the trend of events also indicate H that he will' only try. Even that old strad- Hj die bug, the -Salt Lake Tribune, thinks Hj his, chances are mighty slim. In a recent H issue in discussing the third term, the Hi!. Tribune says: Hi! "Mu. Wilson was elected upon a one-Hf one-Hf term platfovnvin 1912, Win. J Bryan be-Hj be-Hj ing regponsible'.or, t)elpjank reported, by Hj tha committee "on resolutions and adopt-H adopt-H ed by the Democratic convention But, Hi as an observing politician qnce declared, Hj platforms are constructed for the pur-' Hi pose of stepping into office and not to Hj stand upon after the election is over. At H any rate this particular plank in the Dem-Hf Dem-Hf ocratic platform was disregarded and Hj Mr Wilson was unanimously renominat-H; renominat-H; ed in 1916.

Wheth-H Wheth-H er Mr. Wilson has gained or lost in pop-Hi, pop-Hi, ularity since that time is un open ques-Hft ques-Hft tion. The political trend of the country, HE however, is .unmistakably Republican, HI and unless Mr Wilson is very, very much HI stronger than his party he could not pos-Hj pos-Hj sibly again succeed himself in the White Hj House." |
