If President Coolidge were to send a i message to Cougress expressing his opinion that it would be wise to limit | the tenure of a Senator or Representa- | tive to two terms, there would scarcely | be more excitement than there is on | Capitol Hill today. |, For a coalition of insurgent Repub- | licans and Democrats favors passage of | the La Follette resolution expressing the {Senate's opinion as against a third term for Presidents. Men like Senator Borah, who probably are not politically friendly to Mr. Coolidge. insist that the issue ishould be sottled not by Senate resolu- ition. but by a constitutional amend- ! ment submitted to the people in the {usual way Mr. Borah believes under some circumstances a third term might be justified. At present there is no con- stitutional or legal limitation on the tenure of a President. Aimed at “Draft.” The La Follette resolution is admit- tedly political as its author noted the unwillingness of New York Republicans to sond _an instructed delegation to Kansas Citv and the recrudescence of Conlidge. “The question raised. however, s broad- er than politics because it is an at- tempt by the legislative branch of the Government to express its opinion about the tenure of the Executive without at { the same time putting its opinion into binding form. The adoption of the pend- either Mr. Coolidge or any future Presi- dent. nor does it bind the Republican party in its next national convention. as it is not expected that a majority of the L{l‘pubhtgms of the Senate will vote for Wilson Balked. ‘The Democratic party adopted in 1912 the Bryan plank proposing a constitu- tional amendment to limit presidential tenure to one term. but President Wil- son said frankly at the time®he was a candidate that he did not feel bound by it any more than by the plank to exempt American vessels from payment of Pan- ama Canal tolls, The issue of limiting presidential tenure has come up in Congress many times in history. but at no time bhave hoth houses of Congress passed uny resolution on the subject. Some States have limited the terms ot governors and have provided against re-election, but with respect to Fed- eral offices there has been no limita- tion. Many members of the House have been elected for successive terms and so have Senators. Indeed, many have used the argument that a useful public Some of the defenders of President Coolidge in the debate insisted that the precedent and tradition applied to two full terms. or rather to two election: and that Mr. Coolidge was elected only once and is entitled to a second fuil term. Another significang fact is that notwithstanding Mr. Coolidge’s state- ment in August and his reiteration in nating him, and it has grown to such proportions that his political opponents have precipitated a debate on thz sub- ject and are behind a formal resolu- tion to express their views on it.

Campbell Scores a Victory. “I rose to about 300 meters again, to see Doug on the tail of his Boche. His tracer bullets were passing through the enemy plane. I climbed a little higher, and was diving down on the second Hun and about to fire when I saw the Ger- man plane go up in flames and crash to earth. Doug had sent his Hun down one minute after T had shot down mine. “Mind you, the fight took place only 300 meters up, in full view of all on the ground and in the nearby town directly above our aviation field. My Boche dropped about 100 yards to the right and Doug's 100 yards to the left of our field. These are remarkable facts, for one of our majors, who, with the French Army since 1915, has shot down 17 ma- chines, never had one land on our side of the lines—and here we go, right off the bat. stage a fight over our airdrome and bring down two Huns right on it It was the opportunity of a lifetime—a great chance. “When we landed only our respective | mechanics were left in the drome, to help us out of our flying clothes.
